Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror

This album is the sonic equivalent of watching a landscape slowly reveal itself through a lifting mist. Harold Budd's piano playing is incredibly patient, utilizing a soft-pedal technique that makes every note feel like a whispered secret.

Brian Eno's 'treatments' act as the environment for these notes, providing a vast, liquid space where sounds can hang, shimmer, and eventually evaporate into the tape hiss. It is music that does not demand attention but rewards it with a profound sense of peace.
