forerunner Harold Budd consists of four chamber works (written between 1972 and 1975), which utilised varying combinations of harp, mallet instruments, piano, saxophone and female or male vocals. Two years before his fateful first studio collaboration with Brian Eno (who produced this album), Budd was creating hypnotic music in an acoustic mode. All of the works herein--including "Two Rooms", whose latter half is an adaptation of John Coltrane's "After The Rain"--sustain a similarly dreamy vibe. An important credo for Budd was to make music as pretty as possible as an antidote to the noisy avant-garde he had escaped from. One cannot fault him for the lovely sounds he created here, although fans familiar with his more cinematic works might be caught off-guard. Regardless, the pleasant Pavilion Of Dreams provides insight into Budd's past, and it offers the same somniferous effect as a gentle lullaby, making it perfect for late evening listening. --Bryan Reesman

Using unusual combinations of musicians in small chamber groups he crafted some beautiful pieces of music for this Brian Eno produced album.
The first track "Bismillahi 'Rrahman 'Rrahim" is a lengthy meditative work which showcases jazzman Marion Brown's gorgeous sax playing. The combination of the gentle piano, the vibes and the ... ...the result is twenty minutes of bliss. This is chill out music long before the term was invented.
The rest of the album doesn't quite live up to the delicacy of the opening track but it's not far off. No-one else was scoring Madrigals in 1978 and the two pieces here are delightful - light and airy and full of life.

The Pavilion Of Dreams was Californian pianist / composer Harold Budd's 1978 recording debut. Using unusual combinations of musicians in small chamber groups he crafted some beautiful pieces of music for this Brian Eno produced album. The first track "Bismillahi 'Rrahman 'Rrahim" is a lengthy meditative work which showcases jazzman Marion Brown's gorgeous sax playing. The combination of the gentle piano, the vibes and the sultry ultra laid back sax works amazingly well and the result is twenty minutes of bliss. This is chill out music long before the term was invented. The rest of the album doesn't quite live up to the delicacy of the opening track but it's not far off. No-one else was scoring Madrigals in 1978 and the two pieces here are delightful - light and airy and full of life. Budd was intentionally writing 'pretty music' as an antidote to the prevailing punk mood and also as a reaction to the fiercely atonal avant garde music that he had been composing previously. The final track "Juno" offers the most clues as to where Budd would be heading next (the two albums with Brian Eno which would cement his reputation as THE ambient pianist) although "Juno" also features the musicians singing wordlessly. This album is as fresh and as exciting as it was thirty years ago and is well worth adding to your collection.
