Warp Records Brian Eno - LUX

Mmm. I'm not sure. Maybe its his choice of sounds.

I went to the london preview. It was a lovely album to listen to in a church setting although towards the end it seemed to overstay its welcome. I like the main piano motif he works with in the first two tracks.

thanks for the tip. This is quite nice so far. Very pleasant airports-esque ambient

Thanks for posting!

They stopped streaming to Japan. Never mind, it's in the shops here next Wednesday.

guess i missed the stream :(

Saw this and thought of Brian

I'm definitely getting that soap and using it in the bath while the eno album plays in the bg. Lush.

Just when you thought Eno has done it all and given us all that he has, he does something special like this. Seriously impressive looking soap there. Interested to get a sniff

34 years after giving us Music for Airports, ambient maestro Brian Eno has chosen an apt location to preview his latest album. Head to Terminal 2 of Haneda Airport this weekend to check out the studio wonk's newest solo offering, Lux (released next week on Warp Records). The album will be wafting gently over the speakers in the 1st floor arrival lobby from November 2-6, as well as the Discovery Museum up on the 3rd floor. If you'd like to give it your undivided attention, meanwhile, you can swing by the basement Margot Bar (near the ticket gates for the Keikyu line) and listen to the high-end SHM-CD version on headphones. Airports will never sound the same again.

You can listen to the whole thing on Bleep now. Well, that's if you're prepared to sit there pressing play about forty times anyway. :)

Sounds like proper, old-school Eno this. Looking forward to it.

Listening to the Bleep samples again makes me think this is some kind of follow up to 1985's 'Thursday Afternoon'.

Yes! For me it is somewhere between that and 'Neroli' or 'The Shutov Assembly': music to slowly drift away into.

It's a little like the less dynamic pieces on Shutov Assembly such as 'Riverside' and 'Inoccenti'. I don't see the connection with Neroli other than the form factor. On Part 4, there is also a haunting familiarity to Eno's two collaborations with Harold Budd during the early 80's.

I think this will be a classic album.

I remember using a similiar filter in Photoshop seeeveral years ago. I find some of Enos selfmade covers pretty boring. A bit simple compared to the effort he seems to put into the music. Nevertheless I recognize my ambient time is over. Yes, nice sounds and delicate piano but it's not catching me anymore. Aside that, nice that Eno goes back to his roots with this!

Is there a JP bonus track? Also, are SHM-CDs actually supposed to sound discernibly better than regular CDs?
