Brian Eno "An Ending [Ascent] (Leama & Moor Mix)"

Brian Eno is regarded to be one of the best contemporary musicians and instrumentalists in the world. From his startings with Roxy Music, through to his highly acclaimed series of ambient albums, most notably 'Music For Airports' his work is always talked about by many artists, musicians and indeed music lovers in general when citing their favourite artists or albums. He's also collaborated with a wide variety of people, from David Byrne to John Cale and also David Bowie, to name but a few, not to mention his skills as a producer with bands such as U2 and James, both of which won him awards at the mainstream UK ceremony known as The Brits. It comes as no surprise that his work has featured in many films, with 'An Ending (Ascent)' one of his most popular, having featured in the films Traffic, Vanilla Sky, Enemy At The Gates, 28 Days Later and SE7EN, and now Leama & Moor have paid tribute to this masterpiece with this superb white label remix.

Retaining Eno's melodic symphonies, and indeed much of the original composition, 'Leama & Moor' extend the track, turning it into a driving 10+ minute progressive opus. The most striking thing about this remix is how they've not only managed to retain the harmonies and emotion of the original musical piece, but have also in fact added to it, with the bubbling hooks and subtle percussion taking a back seat to the's track's stunning arrangements. Added Celtic style vocals add a breathy, earthy edge to the mix, and whilst it's a meant for the dancefloor, this reinterpretation is of such beauty that you might find yourself just taking it in rather than raising your hands up to the air and grooving.

Leama & Moor are without a doubt the production duo of the moment, with this remix one of many they have done over the last few months, but without a doubt their most defining to date. Be sure to seek out a copy of this, as be it your bedroom, your lounge or DJ box at a club, this is a record that you need to hear.
