Another (2) Green World(s)

Let´s start from the basic principle that this is one of the best albums ever made:






















I posted it on my other blog a while back. It´s one of those albums I keep going back to, it´s just so beautifully and creatively made. It stands out for its time and for today, full of innovative sounds and ideas. I won´t get into further detail because I really just wanted to point out two other albums in reference to it:



















This is Eluvium´s latest full length album, and it´s beautiful. Plenty of ambient/post rock soundscapes as usual, but at the first listen I picked up lots of Brian Eno influence that I never noticed in Eluvium´s other albums. The vocals and vocal lines are very reminiscent of Another Green World, as well as other arrangements and sound choices... Great album, highly recommended.

And then we have Arp:



















This is more underground than Eluvium I suppose. Arp is Alexis Georgopoulos, also a member of the Alps with Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. This album is obviously Eno-influenced, someone else compared it to the Apollo album, but really I´d have to say it mostly echoes Another Green World. One track is practically a rip-off, but it´s still a great track:-) Spacey electronics and plenty of modular synth work, while still quite "song-based".

So basically, if you just can´t get enough early Eno and you want to spend some more time in other green worlds, give these two albums a listen.
