Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent)

Brian Peter George St. Jean Baptiste de la Salle Eno (born 15 May 1948 in Woodbridge, Suffolk) is a British electronic musician, music theorist and record producer. As a solo artist, he is probably best known as the father of ambient music.

His most recent release, Everything That Happens will Happen Today, is also his first collaboration with David Byrne in 27 years. You can stream the full album or download an MP3 at EverythingThatHappens.com.

Eno first came to prominence as the keyboard and synthesiser player and general sonic wizard of the 1970s glam rock and art rock band Roxy Music. After leaving the group, Eno recorded four highly idiosyncratic and original rock albums, before turning to more abstract soundscapes on subsequent albums such as Discreet Music (1975) and Ambient 1/Music for Airports (1978). Since then, he has produced dozens of albums (many with similarly-minded collaborators such as Harold Budd and Robert Fripp) which have demonstrated his unique approach to music. He has also occasionally returned to the pop song format.

His production credits include some of the most respected albums by Devo, Talking Heads, U2, Laurie Anderson, Paul Simon and Coldplay.

Contrary to popular belief, Brian Eno did not produce David Bowies popular Berlin Trilogy (Low, Heroes, and Lodger). He performed and co-wrote tracks on all three albums, but they were produced by Tony Visconti.

Such blissful sincerity.

Imagine 15000 years from now, someone will be travelling through the universe in their starship, playing this on their sound system.
