Reflection

For his 26th solo album, Brian Eno returns to the ambient sound he popularised with 1975’s <i>Discreet Music</i>. As with 1985’s <i>Thursday Afternoon</i>, <i>Reflection</i> consists of just a single track. This is generative music, where Eno programmed a set of sounds to repeat in infinite patterns. There’s an app version where <i>Reflection</i> plays forever—but here, bell tones prick and glimmer, soothing and unsettling in equal measure.
