Well, to look at it more positive: through the use of his music in a big HBO-production many people might hear of Harold Budd for the first time. And it's a common thing to use existing tracks together new music for series like this. Some of the tracks from Max Richter used for The Leftovers was ...

Recently I bought the HBO-series I Know This Much Is True, based on the novel of Wally Lamb. I read that book some 20 years ago and was very impressed. The series is also one that comes in hard; well played, but very sad at times.
Well, to my surprise I saw in the credits at the beginning of the ...

Musically, he should have called it a day after 2005, as everything he released after that point was just a shadow of his former glory (thus diluting his impressive discography). But that's just my personal opinion.


I thought Avalon Sutra would have been an almost impeccable swansong. His ...

Based on the reviews I've read so far, I think I'm going to give this one a miss.

A Foreign Place is brilliant but, due to the lack of input from the band members, I don't think it's worth paying at least £20 for an incomplete account of that period.

The news of his death shocked me but, from how frail he had recently been looking, I already knew the end was near. If it wasn't for the incompetence of the hospital where he was admitted, he could have enjoyed a few more years.

Pass.

Overpriced, bourgeois merchandise, IMHO. That book is for diehard fans but I consider myself more a discerning fan.

Interesting track listings. Personally, I thought DBOAC was bloated and could have done with some paring down.

For example, I either don't care for or absolutely hate the following tracks:

Pollen Path
All of My Mother's Names
Wanderlust
Godman [nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah]

Many thanks for sharing this brilliant footage (no pun intended).

I never noticed that. I would agree.

Interestingly, apart from DS and Nine Horses, there are no other releases currently available for purchase on Samadhisound. I wonder what happened there.

This is old news. Samadhisound announced months ago that they were only going to releasing music by David in the future. It's probably a ...

I don't understand why some others think this piece is not accessible, I think the voice and the content adds a huge amount and it's not hard to listen to musically at all.
If you don't understand then you certainly have no grasp of individuality or personal tastes.

Btw, it's not inaccessible ...

From Mathieu's site:

In an attempt to get some recent rumors out of the way –
I have not been part of The Kilowatt Hour since the final live dates were played in September 2013. Hence I was never involved in the production of a CD titled there’s a light that enters houses with no other houses in ...

I like it very, very much. this after having had a first-listen nasty reaction (never a noun was more appropriate) which prompted me to voice my opinion a little too indiscreetly on DS's FB page which in turn led to having my comments erased and me banned from further commenting. oh well.. 'tis all ...

Gosh, this is quite a challenging piece, to say the very least... I've ordered the deluxe book, and have been trying to digest the mp3 with some difficulty... Its very dark and sombre for the most part, and the read texts do not make for easy listening... though there is humour here, but even that ...
