    Eno's Discreet Music Re-Imagined by Contact

    Another testimony to the timelessness of Brian Eno has emerged with the release of Contact's Discreet Music, an acoustic rendering of Eno's seminal ambient work. Stretched out to 60 minutes, it is worth every mesmerizing minute. Read a review: http://wp.me/p4ZE0X-5Mj

    Sounds great. While I think 1/1 is Eno's very finest piece, this comes a close second.

    Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?

    We liked it so much we made it the Echoes CD of the Month for January: Forty years ago, Brian Eno released the seminal ambient work, Discreet Music. Now a group called Contact Contemporary Music has arranged this piece for 9 instrumentalists and stretched it into an hour long immersion. Contact’s Discreet Music is the January CD of the Month.
