Ambient 2 The Plateaux Of Mirror – Harold Budd / Brian Eno – – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Released in 1980, ‘Ambient 2: The Plateaux Of Mirror’ captures a beautiful intersection of artistry between Harold Budd’s impressionistic piano and Brian Eno’s subtle, transformative production. The album is a touchstone for the ambient genre, eschewing traditional melody and rhythm to create a meditative sonic landscape. Budd’s spacious, echo-laden piano motifs float atop Eno’s textural sound treatments, inviting listeners into a contemplative, almost weightless environment.

Rather than demanding attention, each track quietly transforms the atmosphere, making it equally suitable for deep listening or as a gentle companion to thought and reflection. The record’s influence is vast, shaping generations of electronic and ambient musicians. Yet, there’s an emotional clarity here that sets it apart—a rare sense of intimacy and stillness that feels simultaneously personal and universal. ‘The Plateaux Of Mirror’ is more than an album; it’s an experience in auditory minimalism, rewarding those who value subtlety and nuance. For anyone seeking a vinyl that truly redefines the boundaries between music and environment, this is a masterwork that invites endless returns.
