Download the song with pre-orders of the album from,

"‘The Ship’ started as an Ambient work intended for a multi channel sound installation in Stockholm, but during the making of it I discovered that I could now sing a low C - which happens to be the root note of the piece. Getting older does have a few fringe benefits after all. From that point the work turned into an unusual kind of song...a type I've never made before where the vocal floats free, untethered to a rhythmic grid of any kind."

Brian Eno has said the title is a reference to the sinking of Titanic, which he has called "the apex of human technical power, set to be man's greatest triumph over nature". The album was originally conceived as a multi-channel sound installation, when Eno discovered that he could sing in a low C: "As you get older, you know, your voice drops, so you sort of gain a semi-tone at the bottom and lose about six at the top every year. That's what's happened to me. So I've suddenly got this new, low voice I can sing with, and I just started singing with that piece. And, so it was the first time I thought, "Oh, what about making a song that you could walk around inside?"

No one paints a landscape with sound like Brian Eno.

I'm so happy to listen to Brian Eno for over 40 years. I'm loving this album.

[rogerferns]

Dr Eno still keeping all the old hippies off drugs with his therapeutic audio reveries...

[quercus]

Perfectionism. The music sounds to be sculptured in marble .

[ZOSIMAH]

Simply perfect and beautiful! Words are very inappropriate, because theres not that good word to express the feelings listening to Eno! Reminds me of Byzantine monks singing in c low rooted, they called it monophonic singing, in a manner of unity of a Mind, Soul and you give your, authentic stamp on everything and always leave me, for my 40 years, 25 of listening to your music, absolutely speechless!

[DareHare]

This experiential piece takes me on a journey... Sometimes on the sea and most of the time to space... Every time out of my body...

[markmower]

First time I have heard Brian Eno. Reminds me of the first time I heard Kitaro, it grabs you and takes you to a peaceful place.

LOVE IT. Especially The "Wave After Wave" Part. It's Unusually Soothing.

[stephenlindow]

I adore the last eight minutes or so; the crackling echoing electric will o' wisps.

[jungletimes]

I enjoy his music since the early seventies. This is really great stuff - and very characteristic for him. :-)

[SillsandSmith]

Pure bliss! Can't wait to hear the full album!

[FlipSideCT]

Bravo!! looking forward to this purchase and going for a ride, wherever this takes me.

Another new twist for Master Eno: sound poems with "language" texts embedded twined with richly emotional ambient...even philosophical.

[KUPHSER]

I did dmt again on the weekend, and I had this song on for my trip. Truly amazing experience

[cjmitchell]

Slightly reminds me of Sylvian/Czukay's 'Plight & Premonition'. That's a good thing!

[jiffysquid]

When the voice first cut in I thought WTF? I'm not too sure about this. But I very soon got hooked. Eno has done it again!
