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.
