Harold Budd/Brian Eno - The Pearl (1984)
When we happen to have a visiting contingent of guests, related or otherwise, I’m always conscious of playing music in the lounge that does not challenge.

commentsThis ambient/techno record is startlingly apt for a day of national introspection. This makes a terrific soundtrack as one watches the fairy tale tributes unfold across multiple channels.
commentsA timeless masterpiece from my favourite, post-punk/decommissioned new romantic front man, neo-reclusive avant-jazzasist. Surrounded by extraordinary musicians, Robert Fripp and Bill Nelson included, this remains genre resistant.
commentsWhile I was completely gob smacked with the brilliance of 2018’s “Smote Reverser” , this is it’s little noisy brother. The same sentiments apply just as equally to this album.
commentsBob Stanley and Pete Wiggs present downtempo and after hours 1990-91 Another stupendous ACE Records compilation curated by fellow clevor Trevor’s Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs.
commentsWhile it’s all over in just over 35 minutes, there is not one wasted second. What’s remarkable is that this was their only record.
commentsThe themes were: Old, New, Borrowed, Bonus Track
commentsI’m just loving rediscovering my big wall of sound. This big multi-level shelf of plastic and card-board cases hold the majority of my CDs, SACDs and DVD-Audio/Blu-ray discs.
commentsI really hummed and ha’d about “needing” to have this on vinyl. After all, I’ve already invested in the magnificent Nancy Sinatra 2 LP compilation “Start Walking” which spans the years 1965 to 1976.
commentsWhile there were a few fleeting moments sans John Foxx, with Ultravox version 2.0, which followed on after his departure, the original Ultravox was more of a real deal.
