Featuring a direct sleeve befitting of its subject — influential industrial designer Dieter Rams, vital figure who pioneered sleek designs for consumer electronics — Brian Eno’s original soundtrack for the 2020 documentary reflects the enormous impact Rams has on Eno’s own approach to music. Marvellously uncluttered and staunchly minimal, Eno’s score weaves functionality with inspiring beauty, crafting some of his most vast — and strangely Sunn O)))-esque — drones to date at one end, and delivering twinkling soundscapes straight out of the Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks playbook on the other, stripped down to allow for even more breathing space between the tones.
