The Pearl (1984) is an album by ambient musicians Harold Budd and Brian Eno. This album is similar to Budd and Eno’s previous collaboration Ambient 2/The Plateaux of Mirror, consisting mostly of subtle treated piano textures, but this time with slightly more pronounced electronic treatments and nature recordings. This album was produced with Daniel Lanois, who is also credited on the front cover.
