Belladonna

When Brian Eno recorded his landmark ambient releases of the 1980s and '90s, he transformed our perception of space, music and performance. His collaborator on those albums and on his subsequent groundbreaking production work with U2 was Daniel Lanois. Lanois took the techniques he developed with Eno and went on to produce career albums for Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel and Emmylou Harris, earning him Rolling Stone's accolade as "the most important record producer to emerge in the '80s."

Now the journey comes full circle with Lanois' album 'Belladonna' - an instrumental record that captures the often-tense emotional dynamics of Eno's pioneering albums. Anchored by Lanois' emotive pedal-steel guitar playing, the album also features powerful contributions from master pianist Brad Mehldau and drummer Brian Blade (Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell).

Lanois productions for U2, Peter Gabriel and others have scanned over 20 million copies collectively and are widely considered the greatest achievements in those artists' careers.

"Lanois taught U2 to be lush and Emmylou to be spare."
