Avalon Sutra, by Harold Budd

Avalon Sutra

by Harold Budd

supported by

quincy harold budd never ceases to make me feel like i’m floating Favorite track: As Long As I Can Hold My Breath (By Night).

Morten Ednes One of my ten favorite albums!

acefstripe My new favorite Harold Budd album. Proves the world is full of small treasures to be discovered. Sensitive, expressive, melodic, just perfect.

noisedriver One my favourite discoveries of 2018 - absolutely mesmerizing... Favorite track: Arabesque 3.

Impolight A tragedy to have to choose a single track as a favourite. Every track, no, every chord is aural gold. Harold certainly possesses the proverbial Midas Touch when it comes to The Ivories. Not since Satie has the piano's potential been on such a majestic pedestal. Favorite track: A Walk In The Park With Nancy (In Memory).

about

Remastered from the original DAT master by Harold Budd's right hand man in the studio for 30 years, award winning Sound Engineer Bradford Ellis, this new edition of Avalon Sutra sounds better than the original release, which we discovered was flattened in mastering. You can now hear the original recording's full depth and dynamic range. There were some micro snats on the DAT. All which could be seen on the waveform were corrected.
