Brian Eno Discreet Music (1975)

• 1. discret music
• 2. three variations on the canon in d major by johann pachelbel

Ambient music ground zero.

First released in Britain in 1975 on his own Obscure Records label, it was an attempt to set up a system by which the music would evolve itself over time.

'Discreet Music' is a piece lasting about 25 minutes. Brian takes two complementary musical phrases, played on a synthesiser, and loops them through his tape delay lines.
