"I have a new job, a new house, and a new baby daughter.



I am very stressed out right now.



I am brooding. I can't stop and I'm losing sleep.



This album is really helping me cope with it all.



Thank you, Mr. Budd, for taking my mind off of things.



I'm so glad you didn't really retire."

Ethereal. Haunting. Euphoric., tunes

"The White Arcades is an awe-inspiring album to the mind and soul. All tracks have a mesmerizing, similar yet diverse tune that'll make you

yearn for more...I've personally indentified more with "White Arcades" (i.e. first track) because it has a airy and pensive tune, which feels as if you're inside an ancient cave of grandiose wonder, at the same time it feels like as if you're regressing in time towards a bewildering European or Chinese era of imaginable characters and backgrounds.



P.ss. Overall I recommend this blissful c.d to anyone with an imaginary mind.

A Real Treat

"The kind of music you might expect to hear played at, say, the Monterey Bay Aquarium. A wonderful blend of synthetic and acoustic instrumentation swirls and loops, but the music always sound human, and expressive. Budd is a master at pulling this sort of thing off, and this recording never fails to brighten my mood. Not quite Ambient, not quite Space Music, not quite New Age, not quite jazz--but quite entertaining, and with a decent dollop of midbass to satisfy audiophile cravings, The White Arcades is a one-of-a-kind musical treat."
