Electronic Sound Issue 129 features the inimitable BRIAN ENO and BEATIE WOLFE on the cover — plus an exclusive purple vinyl seven-inch featuring two stunning ambient tracks.
With their third collaborative album Liminal landing soon, Eno and Wolfe reflect on a year of bold sonic exploration. Following Luminal and Lateral, this latest work continues their dreamy, subtly psychedelic ambient journey — fusing Americana with spectral atmospheres in a way that’s both seductive and surprising.
In our in-depth cover story, the pair talk freely about the nature of creativity, the poetry of discarded tech, and the strange joy of pulling old speakers out of skips. It’s a glimpse into the shared artistic brainspace of two true visionaries.
Included with this issue is an exclusive purple 7” vinyl, only available with Electronic Sound.
-
Side A: 'Play On' (from Luminal) – a lush, woozy soundworld with an impish glint.
-
Side B: 'Compromised Cowboy' – a Japan-only rarity, now available for the first time on vinyl. This track embodies that classic Eno contradiction: dark, but beautiful.
“It’s ominous but beautiful. Or something like that.” — Brian Eno
