This CD was released in 1987 apparently, but the original record is much older, it's from the late 70s (75-78). This is the same time period as when Eno was cooperating with David Bowie making 'Low' and 'Heroes' (1977). We can hear some relations beween the sound on all these records, but 'Music for films' is a collection of ideas and atmospheres even more experimental than on Bowies records. Some of them are calm and ambient, and some are more disturbing and axious in their expression. Some of them are made with only electronic tools and others have additional instruments like bass, guitar and percussion. But they are all rather short and functions almost like a 'trailer' to what Eno could have made if he wished to alaborate more on each idea. Despite the fact that the electronic tools which is used on this record must have been very simple, compared to what is beeing used today, the mood and atmosphere on each track is very original and fresh, so it all boils down to the importance of quality of the new idea on each track. The music is very 'arty' one might say, and could easily have been compared to a painting more than a soundtrack to a film, it's more atmosphere and sounds rather than harmonious music. For those of you who like Eno's music and collects it, this record is an important step in his career and gives you a glimpse of what was later to come with his more famous ambient projects. Fore those who are not interrested in meditative music and definately not the history behind how it has developed from the 70s, it's maybe not that interresting. I think this is an important CD, and would absolutely recommend it.Read full review
This is an album that I decided to buy on the spur of the moment. If you like Groove Armada, and that kind of music , you will like this. Brian makes music that is a little bit different from the norm. i would recomend this album to most people. I think it will appeal just about all age groups.
