Omschrijving

Discreet Music (1975) is the fourth studio album by the British musician Brian Eno, and the first released under his full name "Brian Eno" (as opposed to simply "Eno"). The album is a minimalist work featuring synthesizer and tape delay.


The A-side consists of one 30-minute piece, while the B-side features three variations on Canon in D Major by Johann Pachelbel, performed by the Cockpit Ensemble and conducted by Gavin Bryars. 
While his earlier collaborations with Robert Fripp and several selections from Another Green World (1975) feature similar ideas, Discreet Music marked a clear step toward the ambient aesthetic Eno would later codify with 1978's Ambient 1: Music for Airports.
