Release Notes:
Digitally Remastered/2005 US Release
"Re-transferred by Simon Heyworth from the original analogue masters as they are
not technically re-EQ'd but transferred to the digital domain using the best
technology currently available."
An exquisite experiment, Apollo takes Eno's spacescapes from albums like Another
Green World and arranges them with some heavenly pedal steel guitar by Daniel
Lanois. The recording engulfs the listener and captures the feel of space
travel, weightlessness, and other sensations vividly. It's also perhaps Eno's
warmest record ever. In the end, it comes off sounding not unlike a Grateful
Dead experiment, with Lanois' lazy pedal steel sounding quite similar to Jerry
Garcia's playing on David Crosby's "Laughing." An excellent nighttime vehicle.
