What are your favorite records, and why do you go back and listen to them time and time again?
Mine are strangely enough the old ambient excursions that Brian Eno & Harold Budd released in the early 80's- Plateaux of Mirror and The Pearl. Those shimmering, quiet spaces which Eno created around Budd's minimalist piano works soothe my soul at the best of times. When I think back on the sad and happier moments of my life, the birth of my children, passing of loved ones, it is these two recordings which have always been present. If I had to keep five recordings only, these two would be in the collection.
What are yours?
