BY THE DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT (Harold Budd) - 1991

Torniamo alla musica ambient che, come avrete notato, caratterizza il mio blog, dopo la ‘ripresa’ dell’attività di quasi un anno fa. Ed ecco, allora, un altro album di Harold Budd, intitolato “By the dawn's early light”, pubblicato nel 1991. Oltre a distinguersi per le atmosfere minimaliste/ambient tipiche del musicista, l’album contiene alcune brevi poesie, lette dallo stesso Harold.

Un album suggestivo, orchestrale, malinconico. Da non perdere se si è appassionati del genere.

Voto personale: 9 / 10.



Let’s go back to ambient music, the kind of music prevailing in this blog of mine after I started again the blogging activity nearly one year ago. So, one of the best choices is this album by Harold Budd, entitled “By the dawn’s early light” (1991). The album is typical of Budd's signature ambient/minimalist style, and features several short poems, each of them read by Budd himself.

A magic, melancholic album based on orchestra strings and other miscellaneous instruments.

My personal mark: 9 out of 10.
