Album Notes & Community Reviews

The second installment of Brian Eno's legendary Ambient series showcases the incredibly delicate, sustain-pedal-heavy piano playing of avant-garde composer Harold Budd. Eno heavily processes the acoustic piano through tape delays and studio treatments, resulting in a profoundly peaceful, highly meditative, and deeply ethereal masterpiece of soothing minimalist music.
