Album Notes & Community Reviews

Robert Fripp and Brian Eno reunited to continue their groundbreaking tape-loop experiments, expanding upon their previous work with even deeper, more nuanced synthesizer washes. 'Evening Star' is a remarkably peaceful, intensely atmospheric ambient drone masterwork, utilizing deeply hypnotic, heavily repetitive guitar delays to forge a wonderfully soothing, profoundly calm instrumental soundscape.
