1975 was a remarkably creative year for Brian Eno. With his masterpiece Another Green World, Eno began moving away from the structure and sound of pop music toward a more static instrumental model, influenced in part by Erik Satie and strongly informed by his prior collaborations with Robert Fripp. Recorded just a month after Another Green World, Discreet Music is his first full foray into what has become known as ambient music.
Using the same system of two reel-to-reel tape recorders as No Pussyfooting, Eno was able to layer simple parts atop one another, resulting in a beautiful piece of music that never really changes but constantly evolves with the addition and decay of different parts. And while there were elements of noise and dissonance on the albums with Fripp, all the sounds here are calming and serene.Â
Discreet Music's reputation as a groundbreaking and influential work is surpassed only by its placid beauty. Highly recommended. (AMG)
