Review

By The Dawn's Early Light was originally released in 1991 and marked renowned experimental-ambient composer Harold Budd's return to ensemble writing. There is an irony inherent to the title, the National Anthem overtones contrasted with the genocide of the Native American populations, a significant inspirational well from which this work was drawn. Budd, who grew up in the Mojave, knows how to generate an effectively sparse, time-before-time ambience. This resonates powerfully through mournful viola, vertigo-inducing harp lines and guitarist Bill Nelson's drifting, lonely soundscapes. Available for the first time in more than five years and featuring new artwork.
