The solstice has arrived and we have entered “Evening Star weather,” in honor of the second collaborative album from pioneering English musicians Brian Eno and Robert Fripp, released in December of 1975. Fifty years on, you can hear large swaths of the ambient genre echoing through Evening Star: The cosmic calm of Steve Roach’s classic 1988 album Structures From Silence. The neo-classical predilections of Eluvium and Stars of the Lid. The billowing atmosphere of Wolfgang Voigt’s music under the name Gas. The cracked nostalgia of Fennesz’s Endless Summer. Kyle Bobby Dunn’s commitment to drones that . . .
Only the good shit. Aquarium Drunkard is powered by its patrons. Keep the servers humming and help us continue doing it by pledging your support.
