Brian Eno – Lux

Considering the musical background of the Godfather of Ambient Generative Music, the introductory notes for Brian Eno‘s new album Lux are extremely short.
Of course: for those interested, Brian Eno does not need any further introduction.

Compared to its two predecessors released on Warp Records, “Small Craft on a Milk Sea”  and “Drums Between the Bells”, this release is quite different. No relatively short poppy collaboration tracks this time: Lux is a slowly developing, 75 minute composition.
A return to “classic ambient” form, the kind of “music for thinking” Eno has created from the early eighties. A genre that since then has further developed and has diverted into a lot of different branches: drone, dark ambient, dance ambient, improv, soundscapes, field recordings. Each sub-genre with their own leading artists venturing into new territories.  
But, at the very root of it all, there’s only one true Master.

Fovea Hex – Here Is Where We Used To Sing

The music that is presented on Here Is Where We Used To Sing” is not the kind of music usually presented here on Ambientblog.
But ever since their impressive debut release “Neither Speak Nor Remain Silent” I have a weakness for all things Fovea Hex. 

Apart from that, they are closely connected to the ambient music scene because of the musicians involved in the project, and expecially for the extremely mininal drone remixes that come with the special editions of their albums.
