Product Description
From Amazon.com
If you ever wondered what ambient music is all about, you could do worse than listen to the soundtrack by Brian Eno that accompanied the stunning visuals of NASA's Apollo missions to the moon. Created with an intoxicating mixture of acoustic and electronic, the music makes the now-classic space travel images more magical and memorable, introducing a dreamlike element to scenes of cold reality. "An Ending (Ascent)" is about as close to an actual tune as you'll get, but, as with every track, a shining example of what ambient music reveals about itself--slowly and carefully. --Paul Clark

The Godfather of Ambient,
By Gene Bonvie (Halifax, Nova Scotia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks (Audio CD)
If Neil Young is the Godfather of Grunge, Brian Eno is the Godfather of Ambient. Long from his "art" days with Roxy Music, where he countered Bowie for weirdness, we now have a soft-spoken, balding, producer of U2 in plaid, flannel shirts, examining the purity of idle, unobserved moments. Eno takes the mundane incident of being to the alter of the Joy of Existence.Combined with his brother, Roger Eno (buy Voices), and Canadian Daniel Lanois (Buy For the Love of Wynnona), they have created a Desert Island Recording. Particularly challenging to the listener, especially in Deep Blue Day, is the Texan simplicity (brought by the astronauts) meets the face of the cosmos (brought by _____ ) - spectacular! This recording will be relevant 50 years from now. Doubt that? Switched on Bach is 30 years old. Also? Music For Airports WORKS in Airports! Try it! Especially when you have a long wait, at the solitude of a deserted gate, waiting for your plane! :)

One of the best,
This review is from: Apollo Atmospheres and Soundtracks (Audio CD)
One of the songs on this C.D. is one of my fav. songs of all time. It's called"An Ending(Ascent)". I never get tired of listening to it. It has been used in movies and tv shows.

Classic,
By MRCS (toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Apollo Atmospheres and Soundtracks (Audio CD)
This is a classic album with lots of flavour from Daniel Lanois as well as signature Eno gestures. Some of the tracks are all too familiar on film score temp tracks! Its great atmosphere.
