I'm listening to my own album, Trinity . I'm pleased with this one

Not sure whether or not to invest in this... I understand (from a couple of sources) that a certain Mr Harold Budd also appears on this album.

Do tell!If so, it's news to me...he certainly isn't listed on the actual CD credits. I only know of Mr Budd and Mr. Partridge collaborating on 'Through The Hill'

Yeah, that's the only album I'm aware of where they've (Harold Budd and Andy Partridge) have collaborated - Through the Hill is an excellent album - but if I do a search on eBay for Harold, then this album keep 'appearing'. I'm aware that associated artists will also appear, especially of the person listing the item includes their name in among the items description, but this keeps on turning up. What's the album like?

Rob

I find it quite evocative and intriguing. I will say though that I am a heavy scholar of Greek Mythology and that is the most intriguing aspect to me.

It is a CD that you don't just put on as background music, you definitely need to listen intently.It's an opera of sorts- poetry really,recited over gorgeous sonic landscapes.It all has to do with telling the story of the lovelorn Orpheus who travels through Hades in search of his beloved Eurydice

Have you guys heard of

The Oak of the Golden Dreams

Early Harold Budd from 1970??
Described as 'drone pieces'

I love Harold Budd but haven't heard this material

Yup, got that one - but I would definitely say that it's one for the completists.

Talking of Harold Budd, it's a very Avalon Sutra kind of day today
