The passage below is quoted from Daily OM Music --- you can check out the rest of the review at dailyom.com.January 7, 2008 The Pavilion of Dreams Harold Budd 1978 "Ambient composer Harold Budd spent four years crafting the four works on his debut The Pavilion of Dreams, but there is not a hint of laboriousness on the entire album. Budd’s music opens a door into an eternal paradise, one where every sort of relaxed state, whether real or imagined, seems to exist simultaneously. Luminous electric-piano arpeggios hang in cloudlike languor on the opening track "Bismillahi 'Rrahman 'Rrahman," condensing around tiny droplets of the celestial, and we're floating in the sky without a care."

This is fantastic. Thank you immensely! I know Budd just from being associated with Eno, but I never bothered to check out any of his solo stuff. This is too good not to own. Now, I just have to find it. Gracias mucho Ms.Poems!

never heard of the dude but the name pavilion of dreams is wicked, like the tunes, and ethereal is my favorite word so I am very zealous about the find. thanks!

I remember Harold Budd's work with Cocteau Twins back in the 80's. Nice mellow stuff.

Whoooosh! (With or without Eno, Budd's always been a favorite of mine, e.p.)
