I agree, when I need to "go somewhere else" and get something done, nothing quite like Apollo for getting me there. You can listen to it and not listen to it and it's equally valid... plus, it's beautiful.
An Ending: Ascent and Deep Blue Day. Two of the best songs ever. Love the ambient pedal steel of Deep Blue. First time I ever heard ambient country. It works! Other Daniel Lanois pedal albums go beyond, but Deep Blue was the first and loveliest.
Just listening to On Land and Apollo now - they share the same floaty spacey - err - atmospheres and yet they're coming from two distinctly different inspirations. On the one hand, the land and sounds from specific places and then on the other, space, free of the Earth's gravity and a place which is far far above the land ! Two brilliant albums, very similar in some ways. Play 'em over and over again. Thanks to all concerned - super interview.
I spoke to Daniel a few years back about Budd / Eno's " The Pearl " which remains quite possibly my favourite album of all time. The way he spoke to me was an artist full of love and pure excitement for the music and wanting to continue to share the music with other artists and music lovers. There aren't many artists like that in the business, but I can tell you that when you meet one, it will never leave you.
Good interview, hey the guy has got notes, so what, he's prepared and professional and doesn't want to rely on memory when sitting before his subject this is admirable not a reason to criticize him he's taking this like he should he's taking it seriously. The questions are good the flow is good he is listening to the answers and responsive and present and he's making eye contact. This is a good interview I'd like to see a better one for those who've been critical of this.
Dan has an attraction about him that can only be appreciated by anyone who has been fortunate enough to notice how special he is in his grounded direct way. That yields knowledge as to his contribution to music and to the spirit of self. He is an iteratively evolving artist, who has 'experience' as a teacher, and holds onto this while allowing what has its will musically to become now. I think one of his "trademarks", across time, is his calm perspective to trust that it always works out.
I am not big on picking desert island discs. Too intimidating of a question to answer but if I had to choose just one it would be Apollo. Lanois and the Eno brothers created something truly special. Just like the Apollo missions, it presents the possibilities of what mankind can accomplish. Beautiful film that it was written for as well.
Deep Blue Day into An Ending (Ascent) into Weightless and Always Returning, Then time to meditate and goto bed. Been part of my sleep hygeine regiment for years now, perfect ambient/electronic/slide/Eno-produced album.
Idiots... some people have really missed the point and context of this interview. It is stated right at the very end its part of a *series* of interviews primarily for radio produced at the time by CBC celebrating Daniel Lanois being inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of fame. Visual presentation isnt primary and the concept using (or not hiding!) note cards isnt so abhorrent. Even as an Aussie I have a fondness for CBC Radio, not only for its Commonwealth cousin status of the ABC, but for the many hours it kept me company during my first snow bound winter in Calgary during my own rite of passage backpacking year in the 1990s.
Whenever someone says 'Rolling Stones says' I instantly take anything after that with a pound of salt ! Not withstanding,..Lanois is a great producer/musician !
Oh, my god. I've justed linked all the Eno and Lanois albums i've heard, with the songs of Red Dead Redemption 2. How did i not realise it was the same name?
Rich Terfry is a good interviewer, however I wish he would have shown more interest in the music of Lanois and less in Eno. He IS talking to Lanois after all.
WTF!!! The guy interviewing has to baltently read of a card!! Couldnt they get someone who acctually knew what they were doing. Give me a job, I can read too.
'Apollo' has been my 'lullaby' album since 1984 One of the most beautiful musical recordings ever.
I so concur, for some reason Eno is not recognized by the profession at his real value, the guy has inspired so many people.
I agree, when I need to "go somewhere else" and get something done, nothing quite like Apollo for getting me there. You can listen to it and not listen to it and it's equally valid... plus, it's beautiful.
Agreed! Most listened to piece of my Life❤
I came to it late, but found the same as you. Puts me to sleep, or just into a better, more thoughtful and relaxed mood, no matter what’s happening.

Everything he touches shines, the softest yet marking traces are in all of his works...a true self made artist, as people say, Dan is music x

william chesterfield agreed. The Pearl is one of the best albums ever.
The Pearl is the greatest ambient music album ever recorded.It is the equivalent of Nerudas poetry or Picassos works.

Daniel Lanois , you are a very talented player , my Father played steel guitar . Sir , you rock ! Thank you .

Clearly a man in full control of his technical and musical equilibrium.

When we both "have a coffee and shut up" creativity just flows!
"Silver Morning" is a chunk of music I cannot tire of.
what a cool guy ,,,,and what an honest exchange between interviewer and him .....

Love the man,along with Mr Eno,a god
Dan, is the man. Pure and simple.
Inspirational man
great interview
That steel guitar is definitely one of the best parts of the album.

Thanks for sharing for insights!

Not withstanding,..Lanois is a great producer/musician !
My favorite team of sonic research scientists.
Oh, my god. I've justed linked all the Eno and Lanois albums i've heard, with the songs of Red Dead Redemption 2. How did i not realise it was the same name?
this is a video of a RADIO interview. Rich is using notes, so what. He's at least prepared and respectful.
He is well prepared .. a great interview.
and cute, thus the video, lol.
Great stuff, Buck.
The interviewer is HipHop artist called Buck 65 his music is amazing check him out ! It's not the norm of Hiphop
perfect
Dan's a genius.
CS-80 Ooolala!
Too bad the interview kept interrupting and got philosophical, the result being little discussion of Apollo. Let Lanois speak.
👋

I am reading this off a card, and now I’m going to fold my arms.
Wtf? Just watch and enjoy the interview. If not switch off, go outside and work on trying to unwind.
Rich Terfry is a good interviewer, however I wish he would have shown more interest in the music of Lanois and less in Eno. He IS talking to Lanois after all.
The interviewer sucks, he needs to be more concise with his questions, and let Daniel speak
WTF!!! The guy interviewing has to baltently read of a card!! Couldnt they get someone who acctually knew what they were doing.
Give me a job, I can read too.
THE 2 WONDERFUL AMAZING GENIUS! RESPECT AND ADMIRATION.
