Description
2019 remaster, 2×12″ LP, UMG/Virgin EMI.
To tie in with the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landings, Brian Eno has decided to put out a new edition of his decidedly spacey 1983 ambient album “Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks”, which started life as the soundtrack to a long-forgotten documentary about NASA’s space program. The edition is rather special, not only because it contains a remastered version of the original set created by Eno, his brother Roger and regular collaborator Daniel Lanois, but also because it contains a second disc of previously unheard material. This is not old, though, but rather brand new recordings – described as “new interpretations of the film soundtrack” – made by the Lanois and the Eno brothers late last year in a similar style. In a word: essential. – Juno
