 Four sought after albums from the Eno back catalogue available on vinyl again.
 ‘Lux’: Originally released in 2012. It finds Eno expanding upon the types of themes and sonic textures that were present on such classic albums as ‘Music For Films’, ‘Music For Airports’ and ‘Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks’. Eno sees it as a continuation of his ‘Music for Thinking’ project that includes ‘Discreet Music’ (1975) and ‘Neroli’ (1993).
 2LP in card inners in gatefold outer. Download card insert.
 ‘Nerve Net’: Reissue of Brian Eno’s 1992 album which found him returning to a more rock-oriented sound, albeit skewed through an aesthetic that is simultaneously
playful, funky and claustrophobic and featuring a mixture of vocal and instrumental excursions. Includes contributions from Robert Fripp, Robert Quine and John Paul Jones. Vinyl edition re-cut as a double LP for improved sound quality and includes a download card to access full audio of the original album.
 2LP in gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves. Download card insert.
 ‘Small Craft on a Milk Sea’: Originally released in 2010, ‘Small Craft On A Milk Sea’
was Eno’s first release for Warp and his first new album since 2005’s more songbased
collection ‘Another Day On Earth’. It takes the form of fourteen improvised pieces conceived to be “the mirror-image of silent movies - sound-only movies.” Made in collaboration with long-term associates Jon Hopkins and Leo Abrahams.
 2LP in printed inners in wide spine outer sleeve. Download card insert.
 ‘The Shutov Assembly’: Reissue of Brian Eno’s 1992 album dedicated to Russian
artist and friend Sergei Shutov and a continuation of the atmospheric ambient work
found on records such as ‘On Land’ and ‘Thursday Afternoon’. Eno had discovered
that Shutov often painted to his music but was unable to obtain many of his records
in then-communist Russia. He resolved to collate a tape of previously unreleased
material (recorded between 1985 and 1990) to give to Shutov and upon listening
himself discovered a previously unnoticed thread that ran through the pieces,
creating an unintentional full-length work. Each piece is named after and derived
from one of Eno’s audio-visual installations. Vinyl edition re-cut as a double LP for
improved sound quality and includes a download card to access full audio content.
