Eno to Reissue Two Albums as He Relaunches Record Label
The label will return with reissues of two albums that have been unavailable outside Japan for nearly two decades, including Another Day On Earth.
- Veteran musician Brian Eno is relaunching his independent label Opal Records, reissuing two albums unavailable outside Japan for nearly 20 years: 'Another Day on Earth' and 'Drawn From Life' , both arriving October 16.
- Eno launched Opal Records in 1988 to release experimental, non-mainstream music, showcasing artists including Harold Budd, Laraaji, John Cale and his brother Roger before suspending operations in 1991.
- To mark the relaunch, Eno released live videos of two pieces: 'Caught Between' filmed at Porto Festival on June 16, 2001, and 'Persis' from 'Drawn From Life' recorded at Fuji Rock Festival on July 29, 2001.
- One percent of proceeds from Opal Records sales will support EarthPercent, Eno's sustainability initiative, as he recently joined over 200 musicians opposing North Sea oil drilling plans in a letter to Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
- Eno described Opal as a 'label for outsiders,' reflecting his philosophy that popular music draws strength from both mainstream and experimental edges; future releases are planned as the 78-year-old continues his almost six-decade career.
