About This Box
Though it’s been a well-established genre for over 40 years, ambient music continues to evolve thanks to some of the world's most progressive and cutting-edge musicians. This VinylBox collection contains work by some of the genre’s contemporary exponents as well as historically important albums that helped to establish ambient music as a viable artform.
What you’ll be listening to...
Your box will include a handpicked selection of two or three albums from this collection of eight:
Music For Films
Brian Eno
Music For Films
Brian Eno
Another iconic album from a master of their craft
The mid-'70s were still a rather angry period in electronic music at the academic level. Eno's approach differed significantly from both that, and from others, in that his music was not pop-oriented either. Music for Films is the unrecognized link between Discreet Music and Music for Airports -- it is essential Eno, and a landmark collection drawn from among his work.

The second project from the incredible Irish talent Jack Colleran
Jack Colleran’s debut record under his former MMOTH’s alias was praised for its chillwave aesthetic and coming of age intricacy.
On 'Gardenia', his debut project under a new ambient focused moniker J Colleran, the artist has transcended into a world of beauty, sadness, hopefulness and hopelessness and found comfort within its organic and inspiring home.

Gallon Drunk
James Johnston and his band Gallon Drunk set the stage of London’s Town & Country Club ablaze when New Musical Express invited them to play a 1992 charity concert entitled Viva Eight.
The chaotic atmosphere that night spawned breathtaking musical improvisation as the five-piece band tore through material from just-released first album ‘You, The Night…And The Music’ plus single 'Draggin' Along’.

Karma & Desire
Actress
Karma & Desire
Actress
The UK luminary drops his prettiest record to date.
Actress has been something of a force of nature within electronic music and club culture. His latest album Karma & Desire brings out the different iterations of his sound into something more introspective. Where his previous solo album AZD (2017) focused on the life-as-chrome and machinic selfhood, this album is trying to think in terms of organic viscerality through ideas of reincarnation and karmic action.
