"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
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.
Its funny because you’re not seeing it from the other angle… it’s absolutely terrifying. Manufacturing music to force people to think a certain way, ie: pop music.
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".
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.
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.
@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.
‘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.
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.
@@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.).
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.
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.
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.
+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.....
"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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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
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.....
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!
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...
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.
I grew up listening to this on vinyl. It is hypnotizing and spiritual for me now, as it was then.. The three amigos made a masterpiece. Thank you, gentlemen.
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!!
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’.
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!
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
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!
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.
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.
Brian Eno’s music really is something to the ears. Definitely ahead of his time with the technology, I would imagine it’s super difficult to recreate the textures/sounds he created on Apollo.
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
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
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.
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 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
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.
When I was in my early 20's, here in the Netherlands, the album " Apollo " was given to me by a friend of a friend of mine, in the 80's, because he knew that I liked the music of Mike Oldfield...." and you may find this album to your liking ".....and he was right ! I thought it was spooky and utterly mesmerizing at the time. I still think about it in the same way as back then. " Apollo " is an extraordinary piece of musical art. Only few other musicians, but Brian Eno, were able to " reach and touch me " in such a way. When I come to think of it, they are all British....... David Sylvian (solo work, post " Japan " ), Talk Talk (album " Laughing stock ")... to name a few.
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 ♥️
Roger, you are spot on about music that has a physiological benefit. As a Clinical Aromatherapist working in AIDS?HIV Palliative care, who wanted to use the subtle effect of music to help my clients to go inside and emotionally and physically heal and strengthen. I regularly used an ending (ascent) from Apollo. Thank you.
I wish this video was titled “Brian Eno, Roger Eno, and Daniel Lanois on Apollo.” Roger and Daniel are just as integral to the project as well as highly respected musicians for decades like Brian.
9:56 Oh boy, I get you old boy. That was exactly my thoughts when I watched the movie today. But I think having gone to the moon and seen the earth from afar, frail and beautiful, still does affect humanity today.
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
Eno is probably one of the most beautiful, serene and angelic characters ever written.

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.

3 of some of the most creative people walking the earth. Eno, Eno, and Lanois.
What is better than Eno? More Enos!

Apollo is always in the running for my favorite Eno album.
I wish Roger put out more stuff. Seems as bright and deep as his brother.
Stunning record.

I fall asleep listening to Apollo almost every night. It eases my mind into perfect tranquility.
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!
This album is one of my listened to of all time. Unimaginable beauty. It makes me escape to different places sometimes.
this album calms me down every time i hear it, under stars part II is my favorite

Three geniuses coming together for one of the best ambient music of all times...
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.

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...
This and here come the warm jets are probably my favourite albums by brian eno
I first bought this album in 1983. So happy to have come across this video!!! LOVE
Eno's intelligence is reliably encouraging.
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
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.
Eno is a genius of the music he touch ours hearts and souls without say any word.
This human is unbelievable , always makes me feel grateful when I listen to his music
When I was in my early 20's, here in the Netherlands, the album " Apollo " was given to me by a friend of a friend of mine, in the 80's, because he knew that I liked the music of Mike Oldfield...." and you may find this album to your liking ".....and he was right !
I thought it was spooky and utterly mesmerizing at the time. I still think about it in the same way as back then.
" Apollo " is an extraordinary piece of musical art.
Only few other musicians, but Brian Eno, were able to " reach and touch me " in such a way.
When I come to think of it, they are all British....... David Sylvian (solo work, post " Japan " ), Talk Talk (album " Laughing stock ")... to name a few.
Brian Eno:An Ending(Descent)...playing at the beginning was great
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 ♥️
His influence on all music is incalculable.
This was excellent. Thanks to all who put this together.
That record opened my ears to Brian, AND Roger, AND Daniel (GUITARIST and producer). Fantastic record.
Amazing artists and what an album. Top 10 ambient records IMO
An ending empty and beauty, thanks Brian for all
Brian certainly deserves his "Eno" Asteroid and Stephen Hawkings medal.
Seeing Eno with an M-Audio Oxygen 61 in his personal studio. So inspiring!
One of the chillest videos mankind has ever seen
The foundation of Ambient Music.
he cant be copied ,,new ambient music seems so processed and hollow
Roger, you are spot on about music that has a physiological benefit. As a Clinical Aromatherapist working in AIDS?HIV Palliative care, who wanted to use the subtle effect of music to help my clients to go inside and emotionally and physically heal and strengthen. I regularly used an ending (ascent) from Apollo. Thank you.
I wish this video was titled “Brian Eno, Roger Eno, and Daniel Lanois on Apollo.” Roger and Daniel are just as integral to the project as well as highly respected musicians for decades like Brian.
Just hearing Brian Eno talk about it is enough. It's enough for me to hear him describe it and then that'll do. That will do.
9:56 Oh boy, I get you old boy. That was exactly my thoughts when I watched the movie today. But I think having gone to the moon and seen the earth from afar, frail and beautiful, still does affect humanity today.
