Eno's "an ending" is probably one of the most beautiful, serene and angelic pieces ever written.
Amen, and Enya's Lothlorien for the encore.
R u sure ?
i find the track "Deep blue day" very emotionally charged
Crazy that u can say this about any song on that album
"I think it's very interesting how if you make music that doesn't direct people to much as to what to think, turns out that people have very fertile and creative imaginations" - such a pure comment, we should never take creative geniuses from granted. Respect
Jake Munford I agree . . . first for self then for others. 🔆
As an artist, I aspire to an am walking in the pure and organic directive that these artist are conveying here in this documentary. To learn more about why I am!
Thank you for sharing and for the inspiration.
From?
You can say that loud
And Brian respects his listeners...
I'm a rocket launch documentarian and my partner and I listen to "An Ending (Ascent)" every time we approach the launch pad just before a launch. I've approached pad 39A, the same launchpad that lifted the Apollo astronauts to space, many times in the middle of the night while playing this song. It is surrounded by a wildlife refuge and large bodies of water. This creates an experience that instantly puts me into a meditative state where I ponder what is truly happening. Rockets have already re-shaped humanity and they continue to do so as they send our robotic explorers into the Cosmos. Soon, humans will lift off from that launchpad once again, and we'll hear more yet about the philosophical implications of this collective journey.
I'm so excited to see this music revived and gaining more attention, which it entirely deserves. Thank you.
@MaryLiz Bender Given your description of there being wildlife and a water surround, can I suggest another piece of music that you might find suitable to listen to at night, "Small Hours" by John Martyn from his 1977 album "One World".
Nerd. Your partner is gonna cheat on you with a robot soon.
such a beautiful sentiment. so inspired, so inspiring.
Thank you for sharing, Mary, I’ve driven to watch launches at night - from a lot further away than you, of course, and I can’t see a rocket go up without getting tearful. I can’t imagine how I’d be if I had that track playing as well. Great job you have and thanks for the good work.
What a thoughtful person you must be. 🔆
Brian Eno saved my life…in a very dark time his sounds were a light to follow through the dark…Never said thanks…Thank you Brian.🙏
Its in those times that you really appreciate the value of music, both in listening and making it. It cannot often take you out of that dark place, but it makes that dark place a little more bearable for a bit.
@@HC100_ Wise words - very nice!!!
"You're no longer where you are. You're in 'there'." Yup.
@mr abc No, it's the last thing Roger Eno says on this video. But it is exactly how I feel about Brian's work, and the best related work (Fripp's ambient work, Cluster, and so on). That great ambient music will transport you into an acoustic landscape, created in part with the studio as an instrument of its own, a landscape the probably could not exist in reality - and yet... you're there.
This is peak Brian Eno. My dad worked at Bell Aerospace as an electrical engineer in the 1960's on the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle. His close associate who he shared an office with, an African American named Bill Bascom, trained Neil Armstrong in Houston.
I visited Mr. Bascom in the early 2000's to pay homage to him and he told me my dad was a great engineer but more importantly had been a Great. Friend. To. Mr. Bascom.
My dad is 92 years old now and still has a sharp mind.
Brian doesn't believe in God but God bless Brian Eno and all of the Aerospace Families from the suburbs of America many decades ago.
For me peak Eno is "Ambient 4: On Land", but this one's a masterpiece too.
‘Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks' is a stunningly beautiful album. I've been listening to it sporadically for more than three decades and it has never lost any of its magic for me. If anything, its power to move me deeply has only increased.
Me, too. I remember when it came out, it made me cry. Brian Eno is the only musician that I listen to on a regular basis and I never get tired of, ever. I can't imagine how many times I've heard Another green world, or Taking tiger mountain, yet it never gets old.
Me too. This has given me peace and tranquility since the 1980’s. Utter magic. Grateful!
@@peargrin Grateful for the graceful!
Lucretciela yes. Another Green World kept me alive in the late seventies. Forever grateful.
Brian Eno the genius and founder of ambient wonder...his first ten years creating this entire category of sound will go down as a turning point in the history of music.
I totally agree sir!
The turning point was Pink Floyd in 1967 and the invention of the Moog Synthesizer not Eno.
I'd like to think he'll be rembered
No Pussyfooting was a masterpiece. He and Fripp crafted brilliamt sonic landscapes.
@@philiplindsay225 The invention of something is nothing without a skilled person to utilise it. The BBC Radiophonic Workshop was created in 1958, and produced such mind-blowing music and sounds as the original 'Dr Who' theme in 1963. The first completely electronic movie soundtrack was for 'Forbidden Planet' in 1956, predating the MOOG by 8 years. The first commercially available keyboard synthesiser was in fact the Hammond 'Novachord', first produced in 1938. WWII put paid to its commercial development. Electronic instruments such as the 'theremin', have been used for melody and 'sonic textures' since it was patented in 1928. The origins of 'ambient' music (which focuses on 'sonic textures', rather than defined melodic passages) go back a very long way. 'Gregorian Chant' music dates backs to the 9th century, and instruments that utilise 'drones' like the hurdy-gurdy and didjeridoo also date back, at least, to the first millennium (I.C.E.).
I give a like for Brian Eno music.
The Very Ground
no like for the propaganda?
I hear ya ;)
@@vac8846 I give a LOVE....
@Olivier Swingedau you love fake moon landing propaganda? OK then. Each to his own.
@@vac8846 no idea what you talk about
@Olivier Swingedau i forgive you
3 of some of the most creative people walking the earth. Eno, Eno, and Lanois.
What is better than Eno? More Enos!
Rita Morenos?
An ending (ascent) will never not be my favourite piece of music of all time, I adore it so much, it makes my mind float
I first heard the album when a friend Kevin lent it to me in 1991. We usually lent each other albums for a few weeks then would chat about them when we handed them back. Because of him, my music tastes expanded greatly.
He was away on holiday for a couple of weeks so we planned to regroup when he was back and hang out. Only a few days later his mum called me to tell he he had died.
I still have the CD as well as a couple of others he lent me. 'Always Returning' reminds me of his each time I hear it.
Sorry for your loss mate
Long you and him live
It's still weird "An Ending" has such an effect on me. The body of it is just a series of synth drones, yet I tear up every time. It just fills you with so much hope it almost becomes hard to bear. I would actually have that music at my funeral because it's that powerful.
Deep blue day is one of the best songs of all time, I could listen to Brian Eno all day, absolute legend.
+Weightless - both are my favourites from the album. Weightless when it kicks in at the 2 min mark is just spine tingling.....and it carries on for almost a minute.....
I love that no matter what country you're from, people can say "we" went to the moon. Much love from Texas!
I bought this on Vinyl back in the 80's. I still pull it out and play it regularly. I love having it on in the background while I'm working. Very relaxing and throught proviking at the same time.
Brian Eno, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream and Mike Oldfield. THE BEST OF THE BEST
I'd like to include Popol Vuh in that shortlist.
@@philiplindsay225 Pink Floyd is my number one favourite, but this is a different list!
@@apollomemories7399 ...Thank you for introducing me to Popol music. I thought Pink Floyd's Ummugumma was the only one to do this style of sounds in 1970. Now I have some wonderful new music to listen to while I paint.
I'd add some of Klaus Schulze's 70s stuff. Body love, Mirage, Moondawn, etc.
Don't forget about Jean Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk.
His ambient albums never fail to make me so emotional and relaxed. I love them so much.
As usual, Eno never ceases to astound and astonish the world of music. Genius.
At 13:27 says it all really "... if you make music that doesn't direct people too much as to what to think, turns out that people have very fertile and creative imaginations!" That goes to all forms of art in my view. The listener/observer/spectator should also take part and be encouraged to create the piece alongside with the artist. Maximum respect to Eno
I was thinking the same thing.
When I look at the inner cover of the first Roxy Music and see Brian Eno in his glam glory
So surreal
Talk about evolution
We were all young once, lol. Brian evolved a bit further than most of us.
An incredible video! Brian Eno is such an inspiration of mine. Pure Brilliance
So many inspirational ideas and "secrets" given away here
@@mattiemclean9882 It's incredible! I just can't get enough of it :)))
Grew up to this record. My dad was a big Eno fan. Always comforting when the melancholy hits. It's very therapeutic.
always returning , deep blue day , weightless blew my mind completely
Deep Blue Day brings me out of the funk when I'm down. It's so beautiful.
agree
Brilliant album. "Drift" and "Always Returning" are gems I could listen to on loop or Paulstretched out to last hours.
'Drift' damn that's art!
Daniel Martin ‘always returning’ really hits
thank you brian eno
personally i think its safe to say that if it werent for brian eno we wouldnt have minecraft music or lofi hiphop beats to chill/study to
100%
Reading
thetrashslingingasher's comment I realize I hate Brian Eno.
@@desperatemohammedantheworl5833 oh damn, you've gotten yourself far into the alt-right pipeline. hope you'll grow up soon.
I been a fan of Brian since I heard an ending on 28 days later after that I started searching more of his music. Another movie with his music is safe with Julianne Moore
@@sonofman9279 It's an obvious choice I guess but his (with help from his brother Roger and Daniel Lanois) "country music in space" score for For All Mankind, released as Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks, is with the exception of one sore thumb Lanois track great as well.
I can't thank you guys enough for making this documentary. Such an incredible insight; Brian Eno's music has been such an important part of my life, and I may not even be here without it.
Jos Opdenakker yes. He hit a nerve in me that kept me alive. Sounds overblown when I say it, but without that touchstone that his music gave me, I’m not sure I could’ve been bothered.
I had this album when it came out. Loved it then and still moved by it now. Another Green World is another favorite. Eno’s collaboration with the Talking Heads was also a creative period producing some fantastic material. Love him.
I love Brian Eno. Him and Burial have a special place in my soul.
Eno’s ‘An Ending (Ascent)’ and Vangelis’ ‘Reve’ are like two sides of the same coin for me personally, two absolutely perfect pieces of music
I wish Roger put out more stuff. Seems as bright and deep as his brother.
Stunning record.
tractatusviii I had the great pleasure of seeing Roger in concert recently, his music needs to be heard more!
I love Brian Eno. His music is amazing and his producing is brilliant. The amount of details and textures in his music is just mind blowing. I love his ambient albums. But my most favorite albums from Eno is his Here Come The Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain, Another Green World, and Before and After a Science. Babys on fire and Driving me Backwards are brilliant tracks. They all are!
I first heard An Ending (Ascent) in the movie “Traffic.” I still listen to this song on a regular basis to this day 19 years later.
Eno's intelligence is reliably encouraging.
"...you're no longer where you are, you're in there." Got it in one, Roger - thanks guys!
Experiencing the Overview effect from low earth orbit while listening to An Ending Accent would be the closest thing to Heaven without actually being there. God Bless you Brian and Roger. Ken
Anyone who gave this a 'thumbs down' obviously hasn't been on this planet very long. I was 9 years old when they landed on the moon, and I stayed home from school to watch this amazing event on TV. It's no wonder that Brian Eno was so moved by this, and it showed through in his music, especially this very song.
the deep blue day guitar sound is a fucking omnichord?! I am amazed
When I saw Slowdive at Desert Daze last year, they had Deep Blue Day playing for a bit before they started. One of my favorite concert memories ever.
slowdive? those miserable talentless amateurs. if you took away the excessive use of reverb they hide behind, their lack of talent would be obvious to you too.
some of the most beautiful music ever conceived. Helped get me through some dark times. The other album was Unforgettable Fire, another Eno/Lanois collab. Thanks Brian and Roger and Daniel!
"An Ending", has been my favourite tune ever since I found it as a teenager, it has the power to just still my thoughts no matter what state I'm in, I suffer from ADHD and Bipolar Disorder, and it's never failed to put me at ease, it just has such a gentle, sweet melody to it, beats any meditation I've ever tried, I hope to make a song as good one day.
Brian Eno is a true legend and this piece of music is proof. Thank you Brian for such gorgeous ambient music. 💯
Eno extended and deepened the musical vocabulary and is a genius as far as I am concerned.
The foundation of Ambient Music.
he cant be copied ,,new ambient music seems so processed and hollow
We landed on the Moon in July of 1969
and then in August there was the festival known as Woodstock.
Pretty wild times!
In a world going into a constant downward spiral, videos like this gave me hope that things will get better.
Long time Brian Eno fan, thanks to him and all for putting this together. It is great and fantastically interesting to know the details behind the concept and production of this landmark recording.
CheerZ!
this album calms me down every time i hear it, under stars part II is my favorite
i love the apollo missions so much and this record just encapsulates it perfectly
This album is one of my listened to of all time. Unimaginable beauty. It makes me escape to different places sometimes.
We thank you for standing in that room and making this wonderful sound and music Brian Eno , you are brilliant . Love from Maryland ...
Top quality content. Thak you Noisey. Thank you Brian, Roger and Daniel for all the music.
I've been a listener and feeler of your music for so long, thank you for speaking out about it to us all. This is so beautiful. In the 50s I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up, and in some way, watching this and hearing this you've made that happen for me in my heart. Much love to you.
I remember meeting ENO at the Winter Gardens in Weston-super-mare when he was with rocky music (Virginia plain just came out). He autographed a copy of playboy I had and said that Brian ferry was a prat - good man
Love that these are being uploaded. Everyone needs to see this.
An album that has never been too far from my turntable since 1983.
This was such a long time ago as I was growing up many of my friends thought I was strange listening to Eno's music and with others.But Discreet music was impossible but great with the exceptional life experience and thought experiments, my memory is much stronger because of this music during it's initial listening and now.Atmospheres and Film music were beyond what I would have expected and discover so much more.
I remember that day.
Big fan of Brian Eno and the things he does. Absolute genius.
Being a huge fan of Brian Eno's music and of the space program in general, it was an asolute joy to watch this and share in the reverence that Brian, Roger and Dan have for the music they created and the momentous events that inspired it. Absolutely magical documentary!!
This album means so much to me, it’s my most favorite work by Eno. I have really sweet and tender memories of being 13, visiting the science museum in my city with my headphones on and Apollo on repeat. I’m in my early 20s now but I think I will hold it close to my heart forever
I knew nothing of this album but every Saturday back in the 80's a guy would come down to Wollongong from Sydney with albums in milkcrates to the markets, albums with "Not For Sale" stamped on them, and there it was, I recognised Eno's name and said "That's all I need to know". That was 1989, been mesmerised ever since.....
Three geniuses coming together for one of the best ambient music of all times...
Brian is a mentor and total inspiration for me and my creativity. Inspired by him and Daniel and Roger and numerous other space ambient music pioneers. Thank you boys for all that you do. Watching this is like meeting a movie star you've admired your whole life and getting a peek inside their real life. Much respect to these guys.
Seeing this and knowing the album so well and having it explained to me in this manor is like experiencing it for the first time. Like someone pushed the refresh button and Im hearing it all like new. Cant wait to experience the 2019 re-release with 11 extra tracks... Thanks Guys...
One of the chillest videos mankind has ever seen
This was excellent. Thanks to all who put this together.
Nice to hear Roger speak, and a great piano player !
This music is the most beautiful and sacred of my entire life. I've been loving it since it first came out, and my best friend and I went to see the movie. I can't begin to thank these gentlemen enough for their genius. This video and these interviews only strengthen my sense of the truth in the music. I say this honestly, that this album is right there with the greatest symphonies and piano concertos and most wonderful auditory creations of human history. It's that good to me. Thank you so much!
I journal to this album every morning for a couple of months now. I find myself choking with tears in my eyes from the beauty of this. Especially the second side of the original Apollo album
What a beautiful thing this is. Positivity at a time when we as a species need it most. Thank you all equally (Roger you do great work amigo). Respect due to you all. ty ♥️
An ending empty and beauty, thanks Brian for all
The music is so pure. It’s devoid of meaning. It just is. It really does put you “in there.”
Gives me goosebumps when I hear the tracks and how they got to the finish line with such and awesome album, just so moving
Brian certainly deserves his "Eno" Asteroid and Stephen Hawkings medal.
This human is unbelievable , always makes me feel grateful when I listen to his music
I first bought this album in 1983. So happy to have come across this video!!! LOVE
There is what we often call music. And there’s what what we describe as art.
Eno is the art of music. He redefines the meaning of the ‘Sound of Music’.
I discovered this collection of songs about 30 years ago. Always LOVED An Ending (Assent). I've been reminding family and friends for years that I want it played at my funeral.
Thanks so much for making this, these 3 are some of the biggest geniuses of their generation, and this album proves that.
I was living in the UK with my family when the Americans landed Apollo on the Moon it will be forever in my mind absolutely amazing!
Bought the Apollo cassette years ago...still have it somewhere. Listened to it many many times....still do on occasion, leaving time between listening to let it feel new again. Amazing work.
This is my favorite video on the internet, thankyou
So Roger is a musical therapist. Thanks for breaking this down.
Thank you for this video! I always loved this album from Eno, I watched that film when I was 11 years old & recognized that music. Few years later I discovered that album again. Very much emotion & imagination, mixed with childhood thinking. This is by far my fav Eno album
So many thanks for video! Love you, guys!
Brian Eno:An Ending(Descent)...playing at the beginning was great
I need this album most days of my life. It is pure ambient soulful, often mournful, perfection.
What an amazing tribute to an incredible album. Genius.
Brian Eno is beautiful. This work is beautiful. It's uplifting in an otherworldly way, but like his brother, Roger, it also makes me feel profoundly sad. We had an opportunity to really "see" and to create a better world because of it. But look at where we are now. We destroyed it all, and we still don't get it...
I fall asleep listening to Apollo almost every night. It eases my mind into perfect tranquility.
Ascent has to be one of the most influential pieces of music of all time
That documentary was a huge part of growing up for me. I can't count how many times I watched it and the music stuck with me all these years.
I’m so pleased I stumbled across this and learnt things about ending an ascent which I have always loved - but didn’t know where it came from. Such interesting, thoughtful, eloquent people -
So worth listening to- beautifully edited and put together. Thank you.
Thank you Grant for making this documentary. Such a great album.
Apparently the art critic Jacques Maroges once said, "The greatest colorists have always obtained the maximum brilliance and vibration with a minimum of color."
This record is a treasure in my collection of vinyl. Absolutely stunning.
This is one of my favourite pieces, thank you.
What an incredible documentary. Thank you so much
Just...beautiful. Thanks, guys.
This and here come the warm jets are probably my favourite albums by brian eno
