Brian Eno will release Film Music 1976—2020, the first ever collection of music from his film and television soundtrack oeuvre.

Eno’s affair with film goes all the way back to 1970 with his soundtrack to Malcolm Le Grice’s short experimental film “Berlin Horse.” In 1976 he followed this with “Sebastiane” and a long forgotten Greek horror film, “Land Of The Minotaur” a.k.a “The Devil’s Men.” Early classic Eno film moments include “Prophecy Theme” from David Lynch’s “Dune,” “From The Beginning” from Dario Argento’s “Opera,” and “Force Marker” from Michael Mann’s “Heat.”

In the years since, Eno has had hundreds of pieces of his music used in films, documentaries, and television programmes, including more than 20 complete scores for some of the best known directors in the world. Spanning five decades, this release features classic Eno compositions, lesser-known gems, and seven previously unreleased tracks.

Included are tracks from movies like “Trainspotting” and Michelangelo Antonioni’s “Beyond The Clouds.” There’s also “Final Sunset,” a track initially featured in “Sebastiane” and included on Eno’s Music For Films.

“An Ending (Ascent)” and “Deep Blue Day” are taken from “Apollo: Atmosphere & Soundtracks,” Eno’s collaboration with his brother Roger and Daniel Lanois. The music was originally written for Al Reinert’s landmark documentary of the Apollo moon landing, “For All Mankind,” although since then “An Ending (Ascent)” has taken on a life of its own and is now remembered just as much from Steven Soderbergh’s “Traffic,” Danny Boyle’s “28 Days Later,” and Miguel Arteta’s “Beatriz at Dinner.”

There’s also music from UK crime drama “Top Boy.”
