“Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks, recorded and performed by Brian Eno together with his brother Roger and Daniel Lanois as a soundtrack to the 1983 feature-length documentary For All Mankind, understands that space travel is an extension of humanity, and not a break from it. Expanding on the ambient approach formerly codified by Brian Eno with 1975’s Discreet Music, the celestial textures of Apollo invoke a futurist pastoralism; great swathes of blissful ambience unfolding over delicately strummed guitars, flitting from graceful candour to trepidatious pause. Well before ambient music became a ubiquity on streaming platforms, the two Enos and Lanois were using it to invoke humanity’s future and, in essence, predicted it.”2LP / Universal
