The White Arcades (LTD Edition Gatefold Clear LP)

A classic Harold Budd album originally released in 1988. Partly recorded at the Cocteau Twins' studio with production help from Robin Guthrie and Brian Eno, The White Arcades effortlessly blends glistening synths and limpid piano notes with foggy textures and space, resulting in a beautiful contemplative who­le.

"This album shows Budd at his most stylistically pure: nine pieces that rarely shift from their piano and synth instrumentation, all treated with much echo and coloration. Budd is after beauty, not menace, but with the mystery that follows it. From the pulse of "Coyote" to the grand thunder and rolling clouds of "Balthus Bemused By Color," this is a solid album, one for thinking, studying, or whatever one does when the ambient comes." - All Music
