But I did find a bunch of Brian Eno cover tunes. Some I was familiar with, Bang on a Can & Sakamoto, but many of the others were new discoveries made by cruising the web.
The mix starts with probably the most covered Eno tune - An Ending (Ascent), from Apollo. The cover of that song comes from a new album by Icebreaker & BJ Cole which covers the entire Apollo album. It's excellent and any Eno fan will definitely enjoy it.
About a third of the way through the mix, the tunes shift to a few vocal songs. I wasn't sure at first if I wanted go this route but the more I listened to these vocal covers the more I liked them. From there we switch back into ambient mode.
I think this turned out pretty well and makes for a nice change of pace in the land of Low Light Mixes.
Enjoy.

You missed UILab's (that's a one-off Stereolab / Ui collaboration) cover of "St. Elmo's Fire", which is just glorious; better than the original IMHO.

Jens, Excellent cover of St Elmos Fire! Thanks for the heads up. I'm still planning on doing a mix of ambient cover tunes other than Eno but maybe I could sneak that one in there.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I'm in love with that version of Becalmed. The cover of And Then So Clear is also a cracker...
