Thursday Afternoon
''Thursday Afternoon'' is the tenth solo studio album by English musician Brian Eno, released in October 1985 on EG Records. Consisting of one eponymous 60-minute composition, it is the rearranged soundtrack to an 80-minute video production of the same title made in 1984. Background Since recording ''Discreet Music'' in 1975, Eno had shown a strong interest in creating music that can influence the atmosphere of the space in which it is played, rather than be focused on directly.

Each of the segments depicts simple imagery that has been treated with visual effects, much in the same way as Eno's music is often made up of simple instrumental performances that have been treated with audio effects. The work was filmed on a Thursday afternoon and named as such. ''Thursday Afternoon'' consists of multiple tracks ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
