Brian Eno — An Ending (Ascent)
Played: 2026-03-06
Album: Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks | Released: 1983 | Label: EG Records (originally); Virgin/UMC (reissue). Created by Brian Eno with his brother Roger Eno and Daniel Lanois for the documentary For All Mankind, about the Apollo space missions. The piece has become one of Eno's most beloved ambient compositions. It has been widely used in film (including 28 Days Later and Traffic), TV, and sporting events. It was performed live at the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony. A masterclass in ambient minimalism, it builds emotional weight through sustained chords and glacial pace.
