Under Eno's covers

Listen "Under Eno's covers"

Episode Synopsis


At the suggestion of a listener I set out to do a mix of ambient covers.  Not so easy.


But I did find a bunch of Brian Eno cover tunes.  Some I was familiar with, Bang on a Can & Sakamoto, but many of the others were new discoveries made by cruising the web. 


The mix starts with probably the most covered Eno tune - An Ending (Ascent), from Apollo.  The cover of that song comes from a new album by Icebreaker & BJ Cole which covers the entire Apollo album.  It's excellent and any Eno fan will definitely enjoy it.


About a third of the way through the mix, the tunes shift to a few vocal songs. I wasn't sure at first if I wanted go this route but the more I listened to these vocal covers the more I liked them.  From there we switch back into ambient mode.


I think this turned out pretty well and makes for a nice change of pace in the land of Low Light Mixes.


Enjoy.
