Overview

Eno, Gary Hustwit's documentary about Brian Eno, premiered at Sundance in January of 2024, and the film subsequently played in several cities around the world. Using generative software which determines the sequencing and transitions, the film is never shown the same way twice, similar to Eno's 2017 ambient album Reflection, which can play infinitely through an app. The soundtrack to Eno is a set-in-stone collection of tracks from throughout the man's career as a recording artist, including three previously unreleased selections. Much like the soundtrack to The Velvet Underground: A Documentary Film by Todd Haynes, Eno is not at all meant to be a definitive best-of collection, but it does provide a well-rounded view of the artist's work, and considering how massive Eno's discography is, there's bound to be material here that many fans have missed or overlooked. All of the tracks are credited to Eno as a solo artist or collaborator, not as a producer for other artists. On paper, the track listing looks like it might've been generated by a shuffle feature, with cuts from albums with Fred again.. and Cluster sitting next to each other near the beginning of the set, but the sequencing feels more deliberate and makes more sense when one actually listens. Appropriately, the set opens with "All I Remember," a gentle pop ballad about looking back through the past. The edgy art-funk of "Sky Saw" from Another Green World precedes "Spinning Away," a surprisingly radio-friendly tune from Eno's album with John Cale, Wrong Way Up. Songs from both of Eno's vastly different albums with David Byrne are present, along with the simultaneously proto-punk and post-punk "Third Uncle" (1974) and more rock-ish early-'90s tracks from both the unreleased (until much later) My Squelchy Life and the 1992-issued Nerve Net. The album ends with two more previously unreleased selections: an abstract drift with horns, scratches, and glitches titled "Lighthouse #429," and a live recording of the sublime "By This River," featuring Roger Eno. Balancing Eno's rock, pop, and ambient sides, the soundtrack does an effective job of boiling a 50-year solo career down to an adventurous 74-minute overview. ~ Paul Simpson
