商品の説明 内容紹介 Ambient impresario Budd returns with a collection of drifting, evocative soundscapes created with keyboards, bells, guitars and effects - a journey through 13 haunting musical "room" environments. AMAZONレビュー Californian pianist/composer, Harold Budd is one of the fathers of ambient music. The Room took as its point of departure (as well as its title and texture) a piece on his 1988 album, The White Arcades. Superficially this 13-track album recalls the work of one-time collaborator, Brian Eno on The Pearl but seems less fussy and more directly rooted in the form of the compositions. However the opening minutes of "The Room of Ancillary Dreams" sound like they were recorded at Eno's around the time he created his "ambient classic", Another Green World--beatific, shimmering synths and the faintest trace of piano. But as the album progresses through the various "Rooms", Budd comes into his own to produce one of those atmospheric albums that owe as much to Erik Satie as musique concrete. On "The Room of Mirrors" deep waves of melody rise and crash as inevitable as breakers on the beach. On the creepily melancholic blues of "The Room of Secondary Light", Budd marries spidery Moonlight Sonata-stalking figures with echoes and quiet drones. The overall feel is very emotional, very strong and the variation helps to sustain interest. The intense parts aren't so hard to take and the gentle parts fade into your ambience smoothly. Indeed, The Room's lovely rate of change has been well judged to keep pace with the world outside. --Maxine Kabuubi
