Thursday Afternoon

"a seamless 61 minutes of random piano notes falling, like raindrops from a leaf onto a shimmering synthesizer puddle".- Five star review from Mojo, April 2005.

Ambient pioneer, glam-rocker, hit producer, multi-media artist, technological innovator, worldbeat proponent and self-described non-musician - over the course of his long, prolific and immensely influential career, Brian Eno was all of these things and much, much more.

He forever altered the ways in which music is approached, composed, performed and perceived, and everything from punk to techno to new age bears his unmistakable influence. At an early stage in his career, Eno came to realise that the studio was ideal in making musical pictures, creating new landscapes and time / space contexts.

'Thursday Afternoon', according to Eno, was the purest expression of what he thought ambient music should be: endless, relatively unchanging moods. Originally released in 1985, Thursday Afternoon was composed specifically for the new CD format, a single track, 61 minute long piece (unachievable previously with the LP format), to accompany a video installation at Sony Tokyo.

'Thursday Afternoon' was a collaboration between Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, Roger Eno.
