But that sense of drift, while inescapable, is actually deliberate and tactile. Music swells and wanes. Alterations of mood and the suggestion of various light shades can be altered in startling fashion--15:47 of \"Lux 1,\" when the piece's tonality drops with piano keys played in the lower register deliberately adding an ominous sense of drama. Here again,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEno's sense of creating space all around the droning themes simply moves one idea along to the next place. As each section fades and disappears, the next emerges, unobtrusively, the new one contains only the trace memory of what previously transpired. While each track exists in a self-contained sphere, it is holistic in its relationship to the others. The listener's isn't so much absorbed in actively engaging the composition, but absorbed by it. That said, there is great reward in focusing on what \"happens.\" That's because\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLux\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebetrays implications of vastness just underneath its dulcet tones and restrained palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"review-author headline\"\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Warp Records \/ Opal Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67942969737492,"sku":"iiu1793373267566","price":21.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/1333\/1988\/files\/eno-brian---lux-2xlp-import-new-lp_1.jpg?v=1793373275","url":"https:\/\/newenglandpreppy.shop\/products\/eno-brian-lux-2xlp-import-new-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
