Released on 1 January 1984.

This album comprises two lengthy, solidly dark ambient tracks which might have limited appeal to those who are not interested in the sub-genre.

'Dark Star' was originally recorded as the soundtrack to an art installation at The University Of Southern California which ran from mid-September to mid-October 1983. A 6 minute extract was made available as merch at the exhibition on one-sided 7" vinyl, now quite valuable due to its rarity.

A legacy of the years spent by Harold Budd in the UK, much of it working at the Cocteau Twins' recording studio in London. It is basically a collaboration with the Cocteau Twins, although the members of the band are named individually in the title. Those tracks featuring the distinctive, dreamy vocals of Elizabeth Fraser sound very much like Cocteau Twins tracks. The instrumentals are more heavily influenced by the piano textures of Harold Budd.

“I don’t know if it actually worked, but working with Harold is great. I think it turned out more like four songs that sounded like us and four songs that sounded like him, which wasn’t really the plan. We met him and he just seemed like such a nice bloke. I don’t care about the music he makes or the music that any of the people I work with make, because quite often it’s that you meet them and you like them, and therefore you want to do something. I like Harold because of his very laid-back nature.”
- Robin Guthrie

“As musicians, I found them immensely interesting people to work with. And in spite of my inclination to work alone, it’s great to get into the studio with someone else and pick each other’s brains—very satisfying.”
- Harold Budd

Written, produced and performed by Harold Budd, Elizabeth Fraser, Robin Guthrie and Simon Raymonde with...

Released in 1994.

A collaboration between Harold Budd and Andy Partridge, founder of the band XTC and the Ape House record label. It is a concept album based on an Aztec archaeological theme and includes poetry written by Andy Partridge.

Despite the elaborate nature of the concept, it is musically very simple and would not have been considered to have been breaking new ground when it was released.

Written, produced and performed by Andy Partridge and Harold Budd.

Released in 2005.

This live set was recorded on 26 June 2003 at Palazzo Delle Papesse Centro D'Arte Contemporanea in the Italian city of Siena.

The Palazzo delle Papesse was a Papal Palace built on the instructions of Caterina Piccolomini, sister of Pope Pius II, and completed in 1495. "Papesse" could translate as something like "Popess" or female Pope, hence the Pope's sister. During a fairly recent part of its history, from 1998 to 2008, the building housed a Contemporary Art Center, in Italian "Centro D'Arte Contemporanea" (now closed).

This music was an accompaniment to a video installation called 'Fragments From The Inside' by Petulia Mattioli and original poems by Mara Bressi. These formed part of an exhibition entitled 'Palazzo Delle Liberta' being hosted by the center at the time.

Fragment One is written by Harold Budd. Fragments Two to Seven are written by Eraldo Bernocchi.

Recording produced by Eraldo Bernocchi.

Harold Budd - piano
