Reissues

<p>All Saints Records was established in 1991 and is named after the street in West London. The label's first releases were from Opal Records/Land Records, which had closed that year as Brian Eno's management company wanted to focus on artist management rather than being a label. All Saints has since continued to build upon those initial releases with new acts as well as with artists already associated with the label.</p>

<p>Harold Budd, born in Los Angeles, California on May 24th, 1936 and passed away in Arcadia, California on December 8, 2020 due to complications from COVID-19. With over 30 solo recordings and collaborations under his belt, Harold's musical journey spanned from solo piano pieces to richly orchestrated compositions. His passion for jazz led him to pursue a degree in music composition after briefly playing drums with saxophonist Albert Ayler during his time in the Army. In 1978, he released his second record titled "The Pavilion of Dreams," which was inspired by Coltrane and published on Brian Eno's Obscure label. Harold remained musically active until late in his life.</p>

First time vinyl repress of a classic Harold Budd album originally released in
1988. Partly recorded at the Cocteau Twins studio with production help from
Robin Guthrie and Brian Eno, the album’s effortless blend of glistening synths,
limpid piano notes, foggy textures and space result in a beautiful contemplative
whole.


“Although its aura is ethereal and unworldly, Budd's music is actually an
exemplary form of humanly useful music. When the mundane urgencies of life,
or the nonsense of our political culture, get you frazzled, which is pretty much
every day these days, you can put on this music and imbibe its stillness and
grace. His records are exactly the kind of music you'd play for calm and solace
during a bereavement — or at a service sending someone to their final resting
place. Harold Budd sounds like heaven on earth.” Simon Reynolds
