Brian Eno – Always Returning (1983)

YouTube – Spotify – Apple – Discogs

Good evening… ‘Always Returning’ is a contemplative start to the week. It features on Brian Eno’s Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks released in 1983. The album is genius ambient fare that has already featured a couple of times on this blog. He wrote, produced and performed the music with his brother Roger, and the Canadian musician Daniel Lanois. The album eventually served its purpose as a film score in 1989 with the release of For All Mankind, an Oscar-nominated documentary on the NASA space program. The influence of Eno is well known, but by 1989, Lanois had already gone onto co-produce (with Brian Eno) U2’s Unforgettable Fire and The Joshua Tree LPs and record Peter Gabriel’s So album. That’s not too shoddy.
