lived Obscure label. These works were more classical in tone than any of his work that would proceed it (though somewhat less so of La BellaVista). From Pavilion Budd collaborated most famously on Plateaux of Mirror with Brian Eno, and it is this that brought him to the attention of would be fans (any association with Brian Eno providing a kind of kudos, and in Budd's case certainly merited).
