''Music for Films'' (1978) is an ambient album by Brian Eno. It is a conceptual work intended as a soundtrack for imaginary films. == Overview == Originally released as a limited-edition (five hundred copies) LP in 1976 which was sent to a selection of filmmakers for possible inclusion in their work,〔(Brian Eno: The Soundtracks Reissues )〕 the commercial ''Music for Films'' release was expanded to include a number of pieces for, as Eno put it, "possible use as soundtracks to 'imaginary' films". In fact, excerpts from the album did appear in at least six films, "Sparrowfall (1)" in John Woo's ''A Better Tomorrow'', "Slow Water" in Derek Jarman's ''Jubilee'', "Final Sunset" in Jarman's ''Sebastiane'' and Jim McBride's ''Breathless'', and "M386" and "Alternative 3" appear in ''Rock 'n' Roll High School''. "Alternative 3" appeared in Herbert Vesely's ''Egon Schiele: Excess and Punishment'' (1981), and was also used as the theme tune for the television programme ''Alternative 3''. The album is a loose compilation of material from the period 1975 to 1978, composed of short tracks ranging from one-and-a-half minutes to just over four, making it the antithesis of the long, sprawling, ambient pieces he later became known for. The compositional styles and equipment used also carried over onto Eno's work on some of David Bowie's 1977 album ''Low''. Unlike Eno's later ambient works, ''Music for Films'' utilises a broader sonic palette, with Eno's synthesizers and "found sounds" being supplemented by standard studio instrumentation played by other musicians (see ''Credits''). Two further ''Film'' albums were released : ''More Music for Films'', in 1983 (reissued/expanded in 2005) and ''Music for Films, Volume 3'' in 1988. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Music for Films」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
