Originally released earlier this year as a Record Store Day vinyl only exclusive, the album garnered a great deal of attention with unanimously glowing reviews. Due to an overwhelming number of enquiries from fans, UMC have agreed to make it available in a very limited one-off CD pressing which will be available on January 22. Pre-order Rams: Original Soundtrack Album BELOW Eno scored the soundtrack to an intimate documentary about Dieter Rams, one of the most influential designers in history. It takes an unprecedented look at the life and legacy of the man responsible for so many iconic designs and in line with the aesthetic of the film, the director Gary Hustwit asked Brian to write the original score because of “a connection between Dieter's design sensibility and Brian’s music." One of the tracks from Rams OST, ‘Design as Reduction’ is also featured in Eno’s recent Film Music 1976 - 2020 album. Film Music is a first ever collection of music from Brian Eno’s film and TV soundtrack oeuvre and features classic compositions, lesser-known gems and previously unreleased tracks, for films by directors including Michelangelo Antonioni, Michael Mann, Peter Jackson, Derek Jarman and David Lynch. Whilst it was released in the rest of the world in November 2020, Film music 1976 – 2020 will also be made available on CD and 12” double vinyl LP in the US for the first time on January 22nd. To coincide with the U.S release of both albums, from January 22nd, The Music Center in Los Angeles will host an outdoor installation based on Brian and brother Roger's album Mixing Colours for the following month.
