gparker777 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Harold Budd working with Robin Guthrie up until the last few months is what I heard and released an album they recorded in 2013 this year - Another Flower.

ZEN MISTER Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Harold was a one off. I worked with a bloke years ago who only listened to Harold and Brian Eno. ' LOVELY THUNDER ' and ' THE PEARL ' are essential albums for the ambient genre but could entrance listeners in general. ' LOVELY THUNDER ' in a darkened room during a storm is a real trip. Think icebergs colliding in slow motion. Respect Billy. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demondes Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Yeah sad, seems he died of Covid-19 complications https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/harold-budd-dead-1100872/ My first Harold Budd album (CD) i bought was the 2000 release "The Room". His first release i believe was on Brian Eno's short lived label in 1978. On a related side note the doco on Brian Eno "The Man who fell to Earth", which also mentions Harold Budd, Cluster etc is worth watching If you have Amazon Prime it is free and I think I have seen it on youtube Edited December 10, 2020 by Demondes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
