This is finally available on CD and for the masses. It was a limited edition in vinyl. A varied collection that works as ambient or intrinsic sound enjoyment.Recomended to those familiar with the genre.

Hear no Eno by IRate  3 Stars
March 31, 2009
Eno's film work generally tends to showcase recording over artist, impressing more with production finesse and tonal clarity than anything composed on the paper. For ambient enthusiasts, Eno's impression on the medium could never be overstated, and therefore even scraps can yield impressive audio processing techniques. Casual fans however will want to dip into more popular waters first to decide if these murky, half-brilliant depths deserve plunging.

Roman Twilights by GREG WALLACE (San Francisco, Ca. United States)  5 Stars
August 11, 2006
I read all the reviews on amazon for this cd and went ahead and bought it about a year ago. I have to agree with most of the comments. This is not for someone new to Eno as it is made up of out takes from some of his best albums. However, if you are an Eno fan it is definitely worth buying. It has actually become one of my favorites. True, many of the tracks sound like different versions of previously released tracks. For instance, Reactor, Chermin de Fer and Dark Waters sound like songs that were on Another Green World. Always Returning sounds like something from Apollo. And From the Coast is Quartz from Music For Films, Fuseli is Patrolling Wire Borders. Some of the others were new to me but sound like they could have been quite at home on earlier albums. The Dove and Roman Twilight sound like tracks from The Pearl. Empty Landscape, Drift Study and Dawn, Marshland sound like aural landscapes from On Land. My only complaint is that the pieces are too short. Many could be extended to twice their length and still hold my interest. And it would be nice if the retitled repeats (Fuseli and From the Coast) could be replaced with new pieces. Still, if you enjoy On Land, The Pearl, Apollo, Another Green World and the original Music For Films you will probably like this one as well.

One Man: Two Musics by Ambient American (Atlanta, GA) 4 Stars
July 03, 2005
I don't know if my CD vesrsion of Music for Films is AstralWorks; all I know is that the CD version rearranged the sequence of songs which is a sacrilidge - this is one of the reasons I still keep a high qualty turn-table in operating shape for listening to original vinyl releases.
At my age, I consider myself a fully competent commentator on Brian Eno's Music. Having first "discovered" my liking when I first heard "No One Receiving" and its David Bowid/Carlos Alomar style bomp, I was hooked. (I was in a Bowie phase in 1974-77).
Then my pure interest in Eno's music was the concretely sealed upon hearing "Another Green World" - That LP changed the way I listened to music. All of this on vinyl, at the time in which it was released.
My current opinion of Brian and his music is that he isn't interested in his own back-catalog very much or his re-issues. I am not even sure he owns the rights to much of his pre-OPAL material. Sure he gets royalties. But maybe not say-so in editing, I don't know. I'd be guessing
but, if you have been folowing the Oddities Volumes, you will also know he has a vault of things he (or his record company at the time) never released.
Eno has never been about the past. I consider him one of the greatest Futurists of the modern day.
EnoShop does a great job as distributing his current works which are almost all totally "Installation" music for rooms and enviroments he creates in museums etc.
Installations are Eno's primary "solo" medium. Actually, I think he's rather be raising his daughters or lecturing on a variety of theories and subjects, than making music. Not that he dismisses the fans of his music, but he has always just seemed to shun the lime light.
Eno could have been a great rock-star and he always went out-of-his-way to dodge this categorization.
Back to his current music - (I was fortunate enough to experience the Neroli exhibit in Madrid, over a decade ago.)...
From Neroli forward, Eno has pressed towards "experiential pieces" (in a way, like Stockhausen; These pieces, I feel do not translate well to the home stereo "Active listening mode". These works stil make for very good ambient music (in his defintion of the word) not the current translation of the ambient genre, which I would call "easy-listing techno".
On many great occasions, he has made collaborative musice that is much more extroverted and relative to the Eno we like to associate with the his first 7 solo albums ("The passage of my life is measured out in shirts"). But the lone Eno is a different animal.
His work with John Cale, Jah Wobble, Peter Schwalm and most recently and superbly again with Robert Fripp, brings out the very best of Eno's external musical self. He collaborates extremely well. He composes for himself, I believe.
I also see him faithfully applied as the "5th Beatle" in the music of James, The Talking Heads and of course U2. The song "We're all going to miss you" - on the James album with the pig on the cover - (at over 40 my places and names get foggier)is an excellent example.
This song could be dropped into "Here comes the warm jets" and fit right in; Farfisa Organ and Eno singing one complete refrain and all the backing vocals in his old reminscent style.
His new album, Another day on Earth" is very good. Eno has said it many times himself, he doesn't like to sing and doesn't think he sings well or likes the sound of his own voice.
To me, his singing is is like pure peace ( the second side of "Before and after Science" is just a vocal masterpiece.
Eno's voice is an under-used intstrument. But my opinion about his new vocal Album is that it feels forced; like so many fans wanted him to sing that he felt he had to put and album of songs together, even though this is not his current interest and subsequently resulted in not his best vocal album.
Maybe,I'll write a book, or a blog, because so many younger Eno fans may not have the same time-frame of perspectibeve that older Eno fans might have; I'm nealy his age and have everyting he's ever released and some he didn't release. (Those boot-leg vinyl's from the 70's were pretty rough.
Any way, this is not a criticism, I just think you have to separate the motive of the musician from the motives of the record company and try to figure out who is benefiting and calling the shots.
I personally did not need a re-issue of Another Green World or Before and After Science. But Somebody, EG or Island or Warner/AOL thought it would be a good idea; I don't know if Eno even had a say in it.
That's my 2-cents for the night.
Good night

Astralwerks mastering errors by davip (UK)  1 Stars
June 30, 2005
Does anyone have the final word on the degree to which Astralwerks (sic) have screwed up these Eno 'remasters'?
'Another Green World' has the first bars of 'Everything merges with the night' missing, 'Climate Study' is missing from this release (More Music For Films), and someone on the Amazon review of 'Music For Films' states that the intro to 'Quartz' on that album is also truncated. Are Astralwerks just a bunch of amateurs or something? Eno must be well pleased with this mess..
