Ambient electronic album inspired brutalist architecture?
February 13, 2022 6:08 PM   Subscribe

I just dredged up a vivid memory about an album that I used to love. It was ambient(?) electronic, big spooky brooding business, and each track was named after a famous brutalist building, possibly specifically ones in the UK.

I think it was all by one artist.

Artists it isn't, courtesy of my failed cursory googling: neither IDLES, nor The Black Dog (though I am currently listening to the latter's 'Music for Real Airports' and am enjoying it).

I'd provide more information if I could remember it, but if I had more info I might be able to find it on my own!

Thanks for reading, and triple thanks if you happen to know what the heck album I'm talking about!

Is it possible it was a release related to Re-Textured?

Response by poster: Oh crap. I'd swear I wrote "I found it a decade ago, give or take", but the content of my post would argue otherwise.

So no, sorry & thanks, pullayup.

Any chance it’s the soundtrack to the film Columbus?

Best answer: Raiden – Beton Armé, maybe?

I don’t know the album, I just searched for Trellick on Discogs.

Having listened to a couple of clips on soundcloud, it’s not the most ambient thing I’ve ever heard, mind you.

Brian Eno's Music for White Cube?

Response by poster: Bam! Thanks, Bloxworth Snout!

Not ambient, not exclusive to the UK, but the album all the same. Thank you for helping my aging brains.

There is a small chance anyone interested in this would be interested in Last And First Men, Jóhann Jóhannsson's posthumously released film and soundtrack. (The score was completed by Yair Elazar Glotman).

There's apparently a 2021 remaster on Bandcamp.
