A-T-3 208 Brian Eno with Daniel Lanois and Roger Eno - Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks

Did you know Brian Eno had an asteroid named after him in 2019. Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks made with Eno's brother Roger and studio engineer Daniel Lanois it is possibly my favourite of Eno's ambient™ albums. The must-see documentary film For All Mankind (not the The Man In The High Castle style series Apple TV make) that the music was made for wasn't released for another six-years. By the time the film came out the soundtrack had be changed around, some tracked dropped, new tracks added, other artists included. It's great isn't it, in 1983 Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks was a potential soundtrack. Here are some of its highlights imo

Oh! these tracks are on the 1983 version Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks has been expanded with new material a few times

'Evenin', everyone...Mr. Baggins back with a set of music to soothe your achin' nerves and help ease us all into a good night. I thought tonight would be a good time to take that first sentence literally, and listen to some of my favorite ambient music, from back when ambient meant something soothing and evocative. Started officially in 1975 by Brian Eno, the genre expanded and enveloped other musicians who experimented with the same type of music. The very first ambient album I seriously listened to was Eno's "Discrete Music". The wonderful thing about this kind of music is that it doesn't dominate your attention or thoughts. It's wonderful to listen to for meditation or visualization, or just to breathe deeply and relax to! Here is the track entitled "Discrete Music", which takes up the whole first side of the album.

Eno made two albums with pianist Harold Budd, and both of them are gorgeous: 1980's "The Plateaux of Mirror" and 1984's "The Pearl". Where "Discreet Music" might seem a little cold and mechanical, the Budd/Eno albums are sumptuous sonic landscapes that paint their own pictures in your mind with each track.

The first album in the official "Ambient" series, recorded and issued in 1978, "Ambient 1: Music for Airports" was groundbreaking when released, and it still works as a sonic backdrop for spaces that need calming.

Also released in 1978, his album "Music For Films" was another album of sonic exploration and experimentation that is actually wonderful to listen to.

In 1982, Eno recorded and released the fourth album in the Ambient series, "Ambient 4: On Land". A different sort of ambience invoked by sounds that are mimics of or suggestive of sounds we hear in different places "on land".

In 1983, Eno, his brother Roger Eno, and Daniel Lanois created the wondrous "Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks" for a film about the Apollo missions.

In 1985, Eno recorded an hour-long piece as a soundtrack backdrop to a video installation. The resulting music was issued as "Thursday Afternoon".

And that's all the space we have for this evening's program...if you've listened along you should be nice and relaxed and ready to drift off by now, so I'll take my leave. Mr. Baggins signing off for the night, I'll return a 8am with Morning Coffee Music.

Until then, dream sweet dreams, babies, dream sweet dreams.

Baggins out.

music to soothe your soul

[posttexasstressdisorder]

Monday, 11-11-24, 7pm Pacific

'Evenin', folks, Mr. Baggins back with you for another set to soothe your achin' nerves. We'll start this off with my absolute favorite Chopin pianist, the Brazilian wunderkind Guiomar Novaes; her Chopin playing is comfort food for the soul. Here she is with the first volume of Chopin's Nocturnes, recorded in 1957.

This next album has been with me since it was released, one of my favorites of the "new age" genre, Suzanne Ciani's "Neverland", from 1988. I wish I could just play you my copy of this, as there is no direct copy of the album on YouTube. This playist is the best I can do, and it has the songs in the wrong order. This first piece, "Lumiere", was actually the LAST song on the album. sigh.

And now, here's Brian Eno with his brother Roger Eno and Daniel Lanois, the wonderful 1983 album "Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks".

Staying with Eno, from the album that started the whole "Ambient" genre, 1975's "Discrete Music", here is the title cut.

Here is the first of the four Ambient series, Ambient 1: Music for Airports, from 1978.

Moving ahead to 1993, here is his "New Space Music"

Here is a different kind of "space music", from new-age composer Don Robertson, his Starmusic, from 1982, the full album.

Staying with the Space Music genre, here is new-age composer Constance Demby's "Novus Magnificat: Through The Stargate", from 1986.

I want to close this set with another classic that I have often put on repeat to sleep to all night, Bay Area composer Marcy Hamm's album titled simply "Z", from 1986.

Mr. Baggins signing off for the night...I'll be back with you for Morning Coffee Music at 8am Pacific.

Until then, dream sweet dreams, babies, dream sweet dreams.

Baggins out.
