Notice that the order of artists under the tracks is opposite that of the duo listed at top as the artists. It is a good idea to make sure these recordings are something you don't already have on your mp3 player under one or the other orderings.
Harold Budd and Robin Guthrie actually counterpoint themselves very well on these two outings. I bought these albums on regular CD after sampling them. However, be advised they are mastered at a very, very, low level. Which was both artist's intent, I guess. This album uses sound to describe the adjectives of emotion and the stimuli attached to life's deeper moments. If you've listened to other albums by Budd, then this may be your cup of tea.
robin guthrie was in the cocteau twins a pioneering "alternative rock" band from the 80's/90's. not all alternative music has to be loud.
...about emusic is to ignore the genre titles they slap on alot of the albums on here. Basically it helps to know what you are looking for when you visit emusic. I pity the person who comes to emusic, searches by genre and gets frusterated by the # of incorrect genre labels. Never has previewing an album been so important. :) "robin guthrie was in the cocteau twins a pioneering "alternative rock" band from the 80's/90's. not all alternative music has to be loud." I was referring to the "punk" label for this album. *shrug* It doesn't matter. Labels are lame anyway.
I'm 33 years old. I guess I'm just old, but they call this "Alternative/Punk"?
