For decades Brian Eno, self described non musician, has been tingling all senses with his intangible pieces of art. His prolific musical career sees innovative sounds where his approach and compositions vary from genres of punk to techno to new age.
Today he unveils a collection of unreleased, rare and new music through box set: Music For Installations.
Although the name states the blatant obvious, strap yourself in to be taken from past, present to future and beyond. What you can expect to hear are his ambient sounds that have accompanied installations around the world from 1986 to present day. Not to mention the final disc showcasing entirely new records titled: Music For Future Installations.
Dust off the old boom box and don’t forget to put in your annual leave, this collection is available in a 6xCD or 9xLP on May 4th.
