Customer Reviews
Wow!
I've bought a few of the other Eno Remasters and while they're better than the original CDs they might not be worth the price unless you're a completist or an audiophile. This CD is an exception. I've always disliked the original CD version with its distortion and sound as if heard through cotton batts. This remaster is lightyears away from the original CD. It is crisp and clear and spacious. I hear things I've never heard before. It is amazing. If you like the original--run, don't walk to get this.
Remastering errors
Does anyone have the final word on the degree to which Astralwerks (sic) have screwed up these Eno 'remasters'?
'Another Green World' has the first bars of 'Everything merges with the night' missing, 'Climate Study' is missing from 'More Music For Films, and someone below states that the intro to
'Quartz' on this album is also truncated. Are Astralwerks just a bunch of amateurs or something? Eno must be well pleased with this mess..
The godfather of ambient :)
It's amazing to think that this was recorded in 1978. It sounds timeless. This must have exercised a huge influence on the whole generation of ambient music that appeared in the following two decades, but still sounds more interesting than most.
While sonically similar to Music for Airports, the very brevity of the tracks here works in its favour. None outstay their welcome, whereas with MfA, one's mind pretty quickly wanders (though you might argue that that is precisely the objective -- in his original sleevenotes, Eno suggests that all of the Ambient series be played at barely audible levels.) While MfA is meditative enough for that to work it would be a shame to use this CD in the same way. The structure and space of each piece deserve close attention.
I don't know if any of these tracks made it into films (I wouldn't be surprised) but many of them were staple soundtrack fare for BBC documentaries for many years, as were tracks from Eno's excellent "Apollo" album.
