Crucial Brian Eno work reissued. Discreet Music was originally released in 1975 and marked a significant stylistic shift toward ambient music. Compared to the more traditional rock aesthetic of his previous efforts (Here Come The Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain, and Another Green World), here Eno utilized a minimalist set up of synthesizer and tape delay to create the striking title track that would influence many works to come. The B-side suite "Three Variations on the Canon in D Major" was actually performed by the Cockpit Ensemble lead by fellow Obscure label alum Gavin Bryers. This 2018 reissue features the 2004 remastered tracks and comes pressed on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl.
