5 out of 5 stars Otherworldly. Ethereal. Mesmerizing. Transfixing........2004-11-11

When this was originally released in the 80's, I happened to be going through a rough time. I happened to come across this and it just completely took me away...I felt like I was walking the surface of Pluto, in deep, cold, icy space. The layers of sound, listening in a darkened room, really helped to deal with things. It was like medicine. Listen to this in the dark, without any disturbance and be put into a trance...

5 out of 5 stars lovely thunder..........2003-08-08

This recording is an ambient/minimal milestone, and one of of my desert island top ten discs. It helped me write no less than two books, and accompanied untold thunderstorms in a memorable winter on a small Greek island writing one of them. I adore White Arcades more than anything else I own by Harold Budd.

But why is his label charging twenty dollars/euros for a CD rerelease of a recording that used to sell for a third of that? I don't have an argument with need, but I do have an argument with greed.

Say it ain't so, Hal.

5 out of 5 stars thank you Harold.......2002-07-03

My brother first introduced Harold Budd to me when I was six. Ever since, his powerfull music has "lulled" my life. I think I'd be a different person without having grown up with it.

5 out of 5 stars Stunning Mood Music.......2001-10-24

Any attempt to review Harold Budd's music inevitably finds the author falling back on such cliches as 'ambient' and 'minimalist'. Both are of course apt descriptions of his music. White Arcades is one of Budd's best works, a consistently beautiful series of compositions that leave the listener soothed yet strangely haunted. An excellent starting point for anyone approaching Budd's music for the first time.
