| The delicate beauty of Harold Budd's music can gradually draw you in with its hypnotic yet elusive nature. SHE IS A PHANTOM, done in conjunction with the avant-classical ensemble Zeitgeist, mines the dewdrop territory of THE PLATEAUX OF MIRROR or THE PEARL rather than the romantic string fantasies of Budd's last solo work, BY DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT. In fact, the only link that this disc shares with the latter is the composer's desire to recite his stark but evanescent poetry against the requisite spare musical backing. This element tends to detract from the immediacy of Budd's fragile vignettes. PHANTOM never gets too demonstrative, and thankfully so. The album features some of Budd's most evocative works in years. The sparkling synth and piano textures of "Nearly Awakened..." and the gentle cymbal strokes circulating through "Emboldened/My Dreams Perish" are two noteworthy examples. The album's brief 18 tracks flow through you, as though you're gradually descending the length of a spiral marble staircase. At the conclusion of PHANTOM, you're left breathless and swept up in the grandeur. |
