Evan Ziporyn & ContaQt - Art Decade (2025) [Official Digital Download]

It can't be stressed enough how much the ambient and 'art rock' work of David Bowie, Brian Eno and Robert Fripp has influenced an entire generation. Add to this the picturesque minimalism of Harold Budd, whose own place in the firmament shines with jewels like "Avalon Sutra" and add Eno with the epic "Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror" and we have all the ingredients for the exploratory wonders that permeate the aptly titled "Art Decade" (after Bowie's haunting meditation from "Low" from 1977).

The album is a wide-ranging cooperation that brings together the composer, producer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist Evan Ziporyn with the renowned ContaQt ensemble from Toronto under the direction of arranger and percussionist Jerry Pergolesi. With completely new interpretations of these classics from the early 70s - King Crimson's psych prog works, Bowie's "Berlin Trilogy" and Eno's "Ambient 1-4" series - "Art Decade" is more than just a tribute album.
