The White Arcades stands alone, wintry and haunted. If somehow it were a rock album (it isn't), with singing and drums, it would be as celebrated as Disintegration or Medusa. It's just Harold at the keys, though, with cool effects and layers. Harold Budd's music, whatever it's called, is not what people say it is. That's what he says anyway. And this album is a cave of ice, a garden of ice, glowing in the dark. Reply Notify me 1 Helpful.

This album shows Budd at his most stylistically pure: nine pieces that rarely shift from their piano and synth instrumentation, all treated with much echo and coloration. Budd is after beauty, not menace, but with the mystery that follows it.

Only for completionists (0%). More iciness, but more epic. The White Arcades follows the path of coldness established on Lovely Thunder created by shimmering synth textures and airy atmosphere, but here the album's individual pieces work together to create a coherent wordless storyline, almost like a tone poem
