1LP Coloured Vinyl Edition of Brian Eno’s ‘The Ship’ in eco-packaging – Newly remastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road – celebrating Eno’s first-ever solo tour, ‘Ships across Europe’, joined by Baltic Sea Philharmonic conducted by Kristjan Järvi in October 2023. “The Ship is a great, unexpected record. The title track and “Fickle Sun (i)” on their own and as a connected piece of music are marvelous accomplishments, distinctive in Eno’s catalog. And “I’m Set Free” immediately ranks among the most perfect-sounding pop songs Eno has ever had a hand in making.” – Pitchfork “The music of “The Ship” is tolling and elegiac, while “Fickle Sun,” with lyrics about the “dismal work” of a soldier’s life, is in constant metamorphosis. Electronic sounds melt into orchestral upheavals and guitar distortion; voices, natural and synthetic, loom from all directions.” – The New York Times “The Ship is the work of someone who fully believes in the power of art as an empathic tool, as a means to invoke a particular viewpoint, an unconsidered perspective.” – The Quietus “sits somewhere between the chilly calm of Music for Airports and the eerie evocations of the Suffolk landscape found on 1982’s On Land” – The Guardian conceived and written by • brian eno except ‘i’m set free’ written by • lou reed produced by • brian eno assistant producer • peter chilvers recorded by • brian eno and peter chilvers additional singers & players peter chilvers • programming, 3d sound analyst, ableton live operator, string keyboards on the ship and additional keyboards and vocoder on fickle sun leo abrahams • guitar on i’m set free jon hopkins • keyboards on i’m set free nell catchpole • violin and viola on i’m set free peter serafinowicz • voice on the hour is thin nuria homs • catalan voice on the ship members of the elgin marvels siren voices on the ship all other instruments • brian eno imagery by • brian eno & nick robertson design by • nick robertson mastered by • miles showell at abbey road studios.
