The Pearl (Remastered Edition) (1984)

Remaster uit 2004 van toen 20 jaar oude samenwerking tussen de Britse en Amerikaanse ambient-grootheden en de Canadese producer Daniel Lanois. "Hearing Budd's piano slowly fade in with the start of "Late October" is just one of those perfect moments -- it's something very distinctly him, made even more so with Eno's touches and slight echo, and it signals the start of a fine album indeed. Acting in some respects as the understandable counterpart to "Ambient 2", with the same sense of hushed, ethereal beauty the partnership brought forth on that album, "The Pearl" is so ridiculously good it instantly shows up much of the mainstream new age as the gloopy schlock that it often is." (Ned Raggett, Allmusic)
