ARTIST: Brian Eno TITLE: Thursday Afternoon LABEL: Virgin Records GENRE: Ambient BITRATE: 190 kbps PLAYTIME: 1h 00min total RELEASE DATE: 22 Mar 2005 RIP DATE: 26 Mar 2005 Track List ---------- 01. Thursday Afternoon (61 - 60:50 Minute Version) Release Notes: Digitally Remastered/2005 US Release "Re-transferred by Simon Heyworth from the original analogue masters as they are not technically re-EQ'd but transferred to the digital domain using the best technology currently available." At the time of this recording, Eno's creative endeavors had shifted to sound-and-light installations involving unconventional use of video monitors. This CD-only 1985 album was conceived as the soundtrack to one of his experimental videos, which, believe it or not, can be viewed properly only with the TV on its side. This uninterrupted 61-minute piece is probably the first recording created specifically to take advantage of the length of the CD format. Muted piano notes hang suspended in the air, while a soft monochordal synthesizer ambience slowly and subtly unfolds. Perhaps more than any other of his works, Thursday Afternoon epitomizes what Eno calls his "holographic" compositional style, where any brief section of the music is truly representative of the whole. The mood here is spacious and distinctly contemplative.
