Product Description
LUX is Brian Eno's first solo album on Warp Records and his first solo release since 2005's Another Day On Earth. It finds him expanding upon the types of themes and sonic textures that were present on such classic albums as Music For Films, Music For Airports and Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks. Eno sees it as a continuation of his 'Music for Thinking' project that includes Discreet Music (1975) and Neroli (1993).

LUX is one of Eno's most ambitious works to date; it is a 76 minute composition in twelve sections that evolved from a work currently housed in the Great Gallery of the Palace of Venaria in Turin, Italy. The album is Eno's third for Warp, following Small Craft on a Milk Sea (with Jon Hopkins and Leo Abrahams) and Drums Between The Bells (with Rick Holland).

Mmmmmmmaybe...... used to be a big fan. Another Day on Earth had some good tracks, didn't like any of the releases since then.

I used to be a big fan as well, but haven't really been grabbed by anything since "More Music For Films" from 1983. The albums he worked on with Talking Heads, and he and Byrne's "My Life In The Bush of Ghosts", are some of my favorite music of all time. Actually, I loved almost everything he worked on from the first Roxy Music LP until 1982. He was a revolutionary figure, at least in how I listen to music. Since that time, his most important contributions are in producing U2, Coldplay and the like, and while I am glad to see him profit from that work ( his composition of the Windows 95 start up music has to have made him a lot of money as well.), it just isn't that interesting to me. But I suppose you can't keep doing cutting edge material for your entire career.

I consider This Way Up, his 1990 collaboration with John Cale, to be an overlooked classic.
