What's on offer musically? In short: a sound-conglomerate that is somewhere between soft bar-jazz, avant-garde neo-classical, chamber music and New Age and the later works of Harold Budd at best the atmosphere and the slow pace in common. 1 song inspires with its laid-back atmosphere - saxophone, glockenspiel and piano are played hauchzart and perhaps this is one of the best lounge tracks of all time. getting used to it is then, in fact, with "Two Songs" and "Madrigals of the Rose angels", chorales and a solo soprano come into play. for the duration of the two tracks, however, a little bit to offer and more musical variety than you could wish for the endless repeating of phrases. outstanding then the last piece of "Juno" - exceptionally bleak, with an excellent interplay between the musicians, the complexity of her for miles over the later "Piano meets synth" approach. the powerful, solemn final chords of Budd remain long in the memory and close perfectly the circle to the mysterious, sinister cover artwork.
who an album in the style of Budd / Guthrie collaborations expected will be safe disappointed who wants to embark on a musical journey beyond any genre boundaries, is "the Pavilion of Dreams" abgewinnen much. even if you should have heard it time - completists in complete works of Budd sure a disk for.
