Bandits of Stature has the characteristic Budd minimalism one may expect, yet in new, or classical, form. On Bandits of Stature, he has created 14 elegantly simple, avant-garde string quartets, each with his own unique and subtle tension and abstraction and sometimes-pastoral but as-often otherworldly mood shining through. This is also Budd's most melancholic work ever. It is a work that can only come from an artist with such unique vision and maturity as he. Whether deep dark or bright light, the listener is as always transcended to an enlightened state within the balance of empty space and substance, presented at times with wistful nostalgia, often with great idealism and persistently with love and beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 The Dream of the Girl at the Lonely Desert Cafe \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Claude Lorrain Avoids the Cinder Block Motel \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Nicolas Poussin Near 29 Palms \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Perfume Doesn't Dance \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Shout (For Jane Maru) \u003cbr\u003e1.6 The Moss of Imagination \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Puvis Startled By Joy \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Seven Colonnades \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Veil of Orpheus (Cy Twombly's) \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Haru Spring \u003cbr\u003e1.11 From the Sea of Changes \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Bandits of Stature \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Llano \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Babylon Balboa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
