Musician, producer, visual artist, thinker, and activist Brian Eno will soon release Music For Installations, a collection of new, rare, and previously unreleased tracks, all of which will be available on vinyl for the first time.

Eno first came to international prominence in the early ’70s as a founding member of Roxy Music, and immediately followed with a series of critically-praised and influential solo albums. His visionary production includes albums with David Bowie, Talking Heads, Devo, Laurie Anderson, and Coldplay, whilst his long list of collaborations includes recordings with John Cale, David Byrne, Grace Jones, and James Blake.

Less widely discussed are his visual experiments with light and video. These are the fertile ground from which so much of his other work has grown. These works have been exhibited all over the globe, from the Venice Biennale and the Marble Palace in St. Petersburg to Beijing’s Ritan Park and the sails of the Sydney Opera House.

Designed by Brian and long-time collaborator Nick Robertson, the package comes with a 64-page booklet featuring rare and unseen exhibition photographs and a new essay written by Eno.
