Album Notes & Community Reviews
Two decades after Brian Eno effectively codified ambient music with his groundbreaking synthesized album, the New York-based contemporary classical ensemble meticulously arranged and performed the work using entirely live, acoustic instrumentation. The resulting interpretation breathes a warm, organic resonance into the legendary minimalist compositions while faithfully maintaining their serene, generative structure.
