Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks is a studio album by the British musician and producer Brian Eno with Daniel Lanois and Roger Eno. It was released on 29 July 1983 by EG Records. It was written by Eno in collaboration with his brother Roger Eno and co-producer Daniel Lanois, and is performed by the three of them. The music was originally written for For All Mankind, a documentary film by Al Reinert about the Apollo program, though the film was not released until 1989. Music from the album has appeared in the films 28 Days Later, Traffic, Trainspotting, and The Lovely Bones, whose soundtrack sold approximately four million copies. Two of the songs from the album, "Silver Morning" and "Deep Blue Day", were issued as a 7" single on EG Records. Overview The music was originally composed in 1983 for a documentary film, For All Mankind, that was released in 1989. The tracks from the album that remain on the final edit of the film are: "Always Returning" "Drift" "Silver Morning" "Stars" "Under Stars" "The Secret Place" "An Ending (Ascent)" The newer tracks from the film that are not on the album (but appear on Music for Films III) are: "Sirens" (Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois) "Theme for 'Opera'" (Brian Eno, Roger Eno) "Fleeting Smile" (Roger Eno) "Tension Block" (Daniel Lanois) "Asian River" (Brian Eno) "Quixote" (Roger Eno) "4-Minute Warning" (John Paul Jones) "For Her Atoms" (Lydia Kavina (Theremin), Misha Malin) In the liner notes, Eno describes his experience of watching the Apollo 11 landing in 1969 and his sense that the strangeness of the event was compromised by the low quality of the television transmission and an excess of journalists' commentary. He thus wished to avoid the melodramatic and uptempo way the event was presented. The album was released on 29 July 1983 by EG Records. A release in the US followed in September 1983. On 19 July 2019, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, a special version of the album was released, featuring the remastered original, as well as an accompanying album of 11 new instrumental compositions by Brian Eno, Roger Eno & Daniel Lanois that reimagine the soundtrack to For All Mankind.
