The idea of starting this page (and publication) came to me a few weeks ago when I — who almost regularly post random musical reference on my facebook page — thought that it might be a good idea to start a blog dedicated to spreading the amazing music and other interesting content.
And what better way to start this publication by kicking it off by one of the most brilliant musical act that still produces various music today: Brian Eno.
Brian Eno is that one person that MGMT described as “if the sky was synthesised/ he’d probably know” on their song which properly titled “Brian Eno” (from the album Congratulations); painting a picture of how much both Andrew VanWyngarden and Benjamin Goldwasser appreciate his brilliant mind.
While many of his admirers will argue that Eno’s “An Ending (Ascend)” is his magnum opus, to me (and my imaginary career as an arthouse director) “The Big Ship” will be the perfect finale as the movie fades out and the credits starts to roll.
And I’m not the only one who thinks of that…
Forty years after its released, this track perfectly closes two of what in my very honest opinion is some of the best movies in 2015; Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and The End of the Tour. The evocative and emotional build of this track perfectly captures the moment that both movies try to convey to me, leaving me overwhelmingly emotional for what’s left of the movie.
This track also featured in many other movies such as The Lovely Bones (2009), and Adam Curtis’ documentary series The Power of Nightmares (2004), proving that this track is a timeless masterpiece.
