40 minutes, 1 second

Harold Budd & Brian Eno
The Plateaux of Mirror


Supposedly, a man landed on the moon in 1969. A tremendous and much-celebrated accomplishment. Yet human beings haven't been back to the moon since. Why not? And in the early 1980s, ambient musicians Harold Budd and Brian Eno recorded two albums together, The Plateaux of Mirror (1980) and The Pearl (1984). Both tremendous and critically acclaimed accomplishments. Yet they've done nothing together since. Why not?

It's a conspiracy, I tell you.
