13. Harold Budd & Brian Eno - Ambient Two: The Plateaux of Mirror (1980)

This album, along with The Pearl inspired a thousand piano album imitators. But few ever achieved the poignancy and quiet melancholy of the originals. The serene piano performances were processed by Brian Eno in real-time, so Budd could respond to the altered sound as he played. His subtle gradations of touch sent notes cascading into dark echoes, ripples on the smooth plateau of sound. Budd claims to have wanted to make unabashedly pretty music, removed from the cerebral abstractions of the avant-garde, but there's a veil of melancholy shrouding the Plateaux that keeps the music from becoming too sweet.
