Album Review

Reviewed 2012-11-19
Eno gets old-school, reverting to a style and genre that he invented. A natural evolution, Eno comes full circle onto his 1978 influential classic “Music For Airports”, adding a contemporary glimmer that shines bright (this could almost be entitled “Airports Revisited”). Lovely stuff, trademark long minimal piano strokes, looped, with dreamy tones. All tracks instrumental, clock in ~19 minutes, play any (track 3 is a 4 minute “radio edit” if you desire). I can’t decide which I love most as they all play on the same theme (track by track difficult). See also Harold Budd (or better yet, Budd/Eno).

1) (19:22) Music for Airports minimal electric piano tones, more lush and in a sound bed of dreaminess
2) (18:14) seamless feel from previous
3) (19:19) continuation, slightly more minor, dark
4) (4:01) distilled “radio edit” of previous
5) (18:28) more sparse dreamscapes, sparser feel than rest, piano centered
