A friend just sent this to me. Sad news…
Apparently, he just released an album with Robin Guthrie, too…

Just put together a Pandora Station featuring him yesterday.
One of several.
Edit: Looked it up, and it’s one of four, plus two soundtracks, plus another album with Guthrie as a Cocteau Twin.

Ooops again wrong collaborator…still sad
JFC, 2020 is unrelenting. At least we’ll always have Budd’s soundscapes.

Holy shit, I’m a fan of both and I had no idea they were connected.
One of the things I miss about the olden days is LP, cd and cassette “cutouts” (I guess they still sort of exist, but not quite the same.) I got a couple of Budd’s albums, the Eno ambient series albums, and Jon Hassell’s Eno-produced album at some store, sealed cassettes, five for a dollar. Ambient music was perfect for cassette, they could put entire albums on a side so you’d get 2-for-1, or Eno’s Ambient 4: On Land was the entire album on each side so you didn’t have to flip it.
