9. Harold Budd/Brian Eno - The Pearl (1984)

Four years after the release of The Plateaux of Mirror, Budd and Eno returned to that earlier format and created another subtle gem, beautiful and melancholy at the same time. Again exploring the interaction of sparse, Satie-like piano figures with electronic processing that blurred and smeared the edges of the sound, Budd and Eno created songs with infinite layers to be explored, despite their minimalist structure. The poetic titles such as "A Stream with Bright Fish" and "Against the Sky" reveal Budd's love of language, and suggest the imagistic, dreamy world the music portrays. Like a pearl, these tunes are simple, yet textured at closer inspection; symmetrical from a distance, yet irregular in unique ways; polished, yet organic.
