Always Returning: Brian Eno Collaboration “Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks” To Be Expanded on LP, CD, and Deluxe Book Set

July 19, 2019 By Sam Stone — No Comments

Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks is one of the most recognizable ambient pieces of Brian Eno’s career. The album was a collaboration with Daniel Lanois and Roger Eno that provided the soundtrack to Al Reinert’s feature-length Apollo 11 documentary, For All Mankind. Since then, the tracks have appeared in numerous other films, along with television programs, commercials, and even the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.

Now, an extended edition of Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks has been announced. Timed for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, the reissue arrives today, July 19, through UMC. There will be a 2-LP 180-gram version, a standard 2-CD edition, and a limited and numbered 2-CD set paired with a 24-page hardcover book. UDiscoverMusic is also offering a bundle with an exclusive lithograph of the album art. For this new reissue, the core album has been remastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road and the new edition will also feature a second album of new instrumental reimagined pieces – marking the first collaboration between Brian Eno, Roger Eno, and Daniel Lanois since the original album release over 35 years ago.

So place your orders with the links below and check out the full track listing while you’re there!

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day.

Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.
