## Description

Product Description Musical oringally recorded in 1983 for the Academy Award nominated Apollo 11 moon mission documentary FOR ALL MANKIND. desertcart.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

Review: Beautiful and Terrifying - I cannot imagine not liking this album. It is timeless, gorgeous, eerie, and haunting, almost not there, but definitely there, everywhere, omnipresent in its tone. When I first got this, I put it on for my one-year-old son as he fell asleep, thinking it was peaceful and relaxing. Ten minutes later, I was in his room, and he was sobbing, crying that the music was "too scary," that there were "monsters in it." Then I brought my copy along on a long drive to California, and it turned the southwestern desert into a place of demented terror for me, though--and only people familiar with this album will know what I mean by this--not in a bad way. This music is enfolding, ensconcing, breathtaking. It is ambient, experimental, and not at all New Agey, featuring ambiguous instrumentation...synth that seems unidentifiable, soft bass, quiet slide guitar.... It captures all the wonders of seeing Earth from space, all the terrors of the night, presents sonic eeriness and beauty but leaves room for listeners to project their own notions of beauty and their own fears into its empty spaces. The standout track is almost certainly, "An Ending (Ascent)," which could be played at nearly any funeral and seem perfect for it, and which sounds a lot like the loveliest song of all time dissolving into something that is not a song at all. The whole album kind of feels like that, like some unreal thing wafting half-consciously along the edge between existence and nonexistence, and its ability to transform any scene you behold while you're listening to it is just astounding. In conclusion: GET THIS, GET THIS, GET THIS! AHAHAHAHA! Brian Eno is a genius, and you will not regret it. This is audio peace, audio fear, audio space. Peace and fear? Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself. This is large. It contains multitudes. Get it.
Review: An Ambient Odyssey - I find "Apollo" to be a perfect active album- it's well suited for astronomy, hiking/backpacking, or simply quiet contemplation. On the other hand, the tunes will relax you, making it useful for falling asleep. I ordered "Apollo" after enjoying For All Mankind - Criterion Collection , an awe-inspiring documentary about the Apollo missions. I highly recommend that you buy this as a companion piece to this album. My Interpretation of the Soundscapes 1. Understars- The sounds of electronic shooting stars set to an aboriginal bass line. 2. The Secret Place- Eno takes us into the past- has a primordial sound to it with dinosaur like rumblings. 3. Matta- One hears the snort of a Triceratops and the sounds of a forest after a storm. 4. Signals- A short, quiet song about the beauty of the Earth below; has a beautiful melancholic feel to it. 5. An Ending (Ascent)- Orbiting the Earth at night. Rings both of sadness and hope. 6. Understars II- Begins where "Understars" left off; has a more otherworldly feel to it. 7. Drift- Approaching the moon from the Earth. 8. Silver Morning- Steel guitar song; suggests the contemplation of home on the voyage to the moon. 9. Deep Blue Day- A beautiful dream in space; with some countrified guitar echoing in and out. 10. Weightless- Suggests the wonder of walking on the Moon. 11. Always Returning- A breathtakingly beautiful song. The twinge of sadness of the module pilot as he orbits the dark side of the moon.. 12. Stars- The crew on their way home from the moon. Space will always be inside of them, and us- who live their experience a thousand times over.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still My Favorite Brian Eno Album
*by D***R on April 23, 2006*

Out of all his work, it's "Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks" that still resonates the most with me. I'm not sure why but I think it's because this album is the most spaced out and perhaps the most distinctive of the Eno works I've heard and I've heard quite a bit. I enjoy ambient space music immensely, it's not the right music for every mood but it sure feels perfect at 3 o'clock in the morning, doesn't it? Drifting blissfully through these electronic textures is what it's all about with Eno but whereas in earlier works like "Music for Airports", Eno can reach a severe aura of banality, in "Apollo" the banality is kept at bay and you are very much transported into space. Several of the tracks seem out of place like some country rock mixed with ambient, but the final few selections redeem "Apollo" and bring it up to the finest in Eno's vast discography. Great album, don't miss it if you love ambient.
