The Music of Neglected English Composers'A deadpan joke of the fashion so beloved by a certain subset of classical music aficionados, this 1996 album c reates eight composers from the 17th century to the 1990s out of whole cloth and then ascribes several brief compositions to each of them. The period specifics of each composer gives, a classically trained pianist and arranger, plenty of room to make sly musical jokes and poke light fun at different eras such as Jack Hill's 'Hours of Darkness,' a four-part fugue that's a knowing tweak of hyper-serious early 20th century modernism, or Burwell Ruckland and his adoration of his idol. The album can also be enjoyed as a collection of various bits of lyrical light classical music.'
AllMusicTo be re-released for 2013. Damage'Damage is primordial urban music.
Its deceptively simple, often subtle structure exposes the constant inborn struggle for homeostasis as nature battles with nurture. Eno and Hammond could be creating soundscapes for the resistant protagonists of filmmaker Krzysztof Kieslowski's masterfully wrenching early-'90s French trilogy Blue, White, and Red. In off-kilter looping ambient time the compositions rush like blood to blushing cheeks, like mini-cars through the tunnels of Paris, like verbal arrows to one's heart-each leaving a faintly hued streamer behind, pale evidence of movement and transformation.Paige La Grone. The Appointed HourRecorded in collaboration with Peter Hammill in 1999, the two never met. Both musicians sat down each day and improvised for an hour without reference of the other's work. 'That the two players' contributions merge seamlessly says much for their compatability and their generally understated approach. The music isn't without tension, but grand climaxes have been shunned in favour of piquant bitonal effects where contributions overlap.
The gentle, pastel result.is all the more appealing for that.' Fragile (Music)Roger Eno's 2004 release Fragile (Music) was his first album for four years and was perhaps the most uncompromising, personal and starkly beautiful of his career. Comprising a series of haunting and spacious computer manipulated piano pieces, the quietly intense compositions were the positive and cathartic outcome of the creative chronicling of a period of depression that blighted the composer's life during the early part of the 2000s. With echoes of the cool Minimalism of Erik Satie and Harold Budd, Fragile (Music) represented a supremely consistent and moving statement. This Floating WorldThe newest solo work by Roger Eno in nearly a decade. This Floating World holds rustic and melancholic piano works, as grey and mossy as a country cottage. One can hear the LP chiming from the dark corners of a pub, soaking in the damp wood like spilled ale.
' A sublime addition to Sean McCann’s Recital Program, This Floating World is Roger Eno’s first solo LP in a decade, following on from Anatomy 2008 and a split LP with Plumbline in 2013. Mostly solo piano expressions, but with a few intriguing embellishments of electronics in Garden, vocals on Empty Room, and sonorous chimes in Riddle, saving the detuned pearl of Out of Tune, Out of Time, Out of Here for dessert' (Boomkat). On Roger’s 2018 release he teams up with the legendary producer Youth to deliver an atmospheric opus. ' While these nine tracks are all in styles Eno has worked in before - mainly glacial ambience and elegant piano composition - the additional work from Youth has lent the record an air of cinematic grandeur. The pieces reference the likes of Ralph Vaughan-Williams and Humphrey Lyttelton, and they are rendered with such widescreen vision as to suggest the post-rock of a band like Explosions In The Sky' (Bleep).
