Brian Eno is commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing by releasing an extended and remastered reissue of his 1983 album Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks. The reissue is accompanied by 11 new compositions Eno co-wrote, produced, and performed with original Apollo” Atmospheres & Soundtracks collaborators Roger Eno (Brian’s brother) and Daniel Lanois. The new tracks essentially comprise a new album titled For All Mankind, after the 1983 Al Reinert moon landing documentary of the same name for which Enos and Lanois initially composed Apollo.
