This collection of Eno tracks was recorded between 1975 and 1978 and first issued in 1978. The pieces were intended for films - hence, obviously, the title - and many have been used as such over the years. There is something very appealing about nearly all of these pieces; most are very short, vignettes of sound, with evocative titles such as "Events In Dense Fog" or "Strange Light" or "Final Sunset". All are recorded on analogue machinery - not a digital sequencer in sight - and it is this that I believe imbues the music with a certain character that you just don't get these days. The sheer act of physically moving tape, altering guitar and piano sounds with analogue synths gives these pieces a vitality and immediacy that remains with the listener for ever. Despite being a collection of fairly random tracks there was a lot of thought and care that went into the sequencing and the album hangs together beautifully. There is a glorious run of tracks on what was side one of the vinyl album which includes the stunning and highly emotional "Slow Water" and the otherworldly "Two Rapid Formations". At the end of side two, my favourite, "Strange Light" (two minutes of deeply affecting music that takes most of its time to fade in and then fade out again) leads into the appropriate "Final Sunset" which sinks slowly out of view, and earshot. I can't recommend this album enough. Eno at his best.
