Roger Eno The Turning Year Vinyl
After his debut on Deutsche Grammophon with Mixing Colours, the first duo album with his brother Brian, Roger Eno released his first solo album for the yellow label. Composed of a mix of recent compositions and the most significant pieces that Eno performs in concert, "The Turning Year" represents a significant panorama of the composer's solo production. The album is a kind of collection of stories, photographs or short scenes, "each with its own characteristics and at the same time connected to the others", explains Eno.
14 fascinating songs, from "Stars and Wheels" to "Hymn", originally conceived as solo improvisations; from “A Place We Once Walked,” which opens the album and forms its emotional hub to the simplicity of “Innocence”; from the meditative “On the Horizon” to the ambiguous “Something Made Out of Nothing” up to "Hope (The Kindness of Strangers)", a piece where tenderness reigns.
Roger Eno worked with his brother Brian and Daniel Lanois in 1983 for Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks, made several solo albums and other tracks in collaboration with the likes of Peter Hammill, No-Man (co-founded by Steven Wilson) and his first "band", the ambient supergroup Channel Light Vessel. In the field of film music together with his brother he collaborated on the soundtracks of Dune (1984) by David Lynch, 9 and a half weeks (1986), Opera by Dario Argento (1987) and for the BBC miniseries by Danny Boyle Mr Wroe's Virgins was nominated for a BAFTA in 1993. As an independent composer, Roger has scored Harold Pinter's The Betrayal for the National Theater in London and for the TV series State of the Union.
