Since Brian Eno signed with the prestigious electronic music label WARP Records in 2010, he seems more active than ever. Lux is already the third album that this influential British composer, ambient pioneer, sound architect and visual artist has released within two years. Lux consists of a long ambient composition or sound sculpture, divided into four parts of around twenty minutes. The work could
… already be heard in the seventeenth-century Venaria Reale palace in Turin as part of an exhibition. This time Eno went back to Music For Films, Music For Airports and Apollo, his albums with which he gave shape to the music genre ambient in the seventies / eighties. The slow and warm sound waves full of rustic piano notes and indefinable rustling and simmering electronics seem endless and transform your living room into a huge womb. That no longer sounds revolutionary - Eno was imitated too much for that - but it is pleasant and audible by the master's hand. (MR)more
