The Pearl is an album by ambient musicians Harold Budd and Brian Eno, which was released in 1984. This album is similar to Budd and Eno's previous collaboration Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror, consisting mostly of subtly treated piano textures, but this time with more pronounced electronic treatments and nature recordings. This album was produced with Daniel Lanois, who is also credited on the front cover.
The track "Against the Sky" was sampled in "Cedars of Lebanon" from U2's album No Line on the Horizon.
The album was well received by critics. Ned Raggett, writing for Allmusic, stated:
