![]() ![]() On ‘Icarus Or Bleriot’, Eno wonders whether we will end up like the former (the tragic Greek hero who flew too close to the sun and fell to his death) or the latter (the pioneering aviator who was the first to fly a plane across the English channel). ![]() This album is a clear and direct response to the tumultuous world in which it was made, consumed with existentialist musings on climate change and the future of the human race – it is his first album with vocals for almost two decades. At a time in which the fabric of reality seems to be coming untethered, he argues, perhaps if we can change the way we feel about the world, we might be able to save it. In a short essay that accompanies it, Eno writes about how he’s only recently begun to embrace “the idea that we artists are actually feelings-merchants”. Having spearheaded the genre for half a century, he knows that at its best, it’s music that can touch a listener’s emotional core more powerfully than the most brutal heavy metal.įor his 29th solo studio album ‘FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE’, he’s homing in on that fact. ![]() Among many other things, Brian Eno has always understood that good ambient and minimalist music is far, far more than the bland soundscapes.
