Monkeys Fist 42460 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I’m having a delve in to Eno’s ambient stuff. I’ve no idea why it’s taken me so long to actually do this, pretty much every track of his that I’ve heard, I’ve liked. Right up my alley ( fnarr, etc). Any particular recommendations are welcome.

Music for Airports Apollo On Land Off the top of my head, all of those are bloody marvellous. As is ‘For All Mankind’ the documentary about the Apollo missions, which Apollo is the soundtrack to. The film is more bits of footage set to music than a conventional, linear-style documentary. And all the better for it. He’s done loads of stuff and loads of collaborations too (not all ambient) but those three should be a good place to start. I think Sonatine may have been talking about ‘Another Green World’ recently which isn’t really an ambient album but the (albeit short) title track was the gorgeous theme to the BBC’s Arena series Edited January 29, 2021 by Alex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42460 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Nice one mate, the Apollo stuff and documentary is new to me. Another Green World was pretty much my starting point, and I’ve just realised Deep Blue Day is on the Apollo album. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35097 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Daniel Lanois who also (along with Eno) worked on The Joshua Tree did the lush pedal steel guitar bits on Apollo. I saw a classical ensemble with pedal steel guitarist BJ Cole play the full Apollo album at the Sage the night (was it Halloween too?) when we stuffed the mackems 5-1. They also had a screen showing footage from the film. Probably the most middle class thing I’ve ever been to. Fucking class though Edited January 29, 2021 by Alex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42460 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 My 13yr old daughter has just come stomping down the stairs and demanded that I “turn that weird stuff off!” Isn't it meant to be the other way round? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stuff with Harold Budd is great, so all part of his ambient series. Also if you want to go a bit more in your face than the ambient series his album with David Byrne, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, is brilliant. This is a really good read if you want to see how Eno made his ambient releases. https://reverbmachine.com/blog/deconstructing-brian-eno-music-for-airports/ Enjoy the rabbit hole you are about to fall down Fist.

sammynb 3362 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) As a few (especially Martin) know, I'm a huge fan of pissed manc idiots screaming at the sky aka The Fall. And it was a sad day for all when Mark E Smith died a couple of years ago but fear not there's a new Fall (crowds cheering everywhere). Well not quite and they have possibly the shittest band name ever, The Cool Greenhouse but they're decent and hopefully with enough alcohol, anger and disapointment, one day the singer will morph into MES. But for now enjoy. Edited January 29, 2021 by sammynb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
