<\/a><\/figure>\nBrian Eno<\/strong> will revive Opal Records on 16 October, beginning with reissues of Another Day on Earth<\/em><\/strong> (2005) and Drawn From Life<\/em><\/strong> (2001), his collaborative project with J. Peter Schwalm<\/strong>. Both albums have remained out of print internationally for nearly two decades. Eno<\/strong>, a founding member of Roxy Music<\/strong> and a pivotal force behind landmark records by David Bowie<\/strong>, Talking Heads<\/strong>, U2<\/strong>, Devo<\/strong> and Coldplay<\/strong>, established Opal in 1988 as a platform for experimental and ambient music that fell outside mainstream industry channels. The label\u2019s initial run, which paused in 1991, featured releases from Roger Eno<\/strong>, Harold Budd<\/strong>, Laraaji<\/strong>, Djivan Gasparyan<\/strong>, Hugo Largo<\/strong>, Zvuki Mu<\/strong>, Daniel Lanois<\/strong>, Jon Hassell<\/strong> and John Cale<\/strong>, before the catalogue transitioned to All Saints Records. One per cent of Opal Records sales will support EarthPercent, with further releases in the pipeline.<\/p>\n Another Day on Earth<\/em><\/strong> marked Eno<\/strong>\u2019s return to song-based solo work after more than a decade focused on ambient and production projects, following 1992\u2019s Nerve Net<\/em><\/strong> and released via Hannibal Records. Tracks like \u2018This\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, \u2018How Many Worlds\u2019<\/em><\/strong> and \u2018Caught Between\u2019<\/em><\/strong> anchor the album\u2019s melodic core. Drawn From Life<\/em><\/strong>, originally licensed to Virgin Records, reflects the collaborative, systems-driven approach that defined Opal\u2019s early catalogue. To coincide with the relaunch, two previously unreleased live videos from 2001 have surfaced: \u2018Caught Between\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, recorded at Coliseu do Porto<\/strong> during Porto Festival<\/strong> on 16 June, and \u2018Persis\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, captured at Naeba Ski Resort<\/strong> during Fuji Rock Festival<\/strong> on 29 July.<\/p>\n Both live recordings feature Eno<\/strong> alongside Schwalm<\/strong>, violinist Nell Catchpole<\/strong>, guitarist Leo Abrahams<\/strong>, drummer Christoph Buhse<\/strong>, bassist Tim Harries<\/strong> and percussionist Heiko Himmighoffen<\/strong>. Rights to both albums eventually reverted to Opal, resulting in their long absence from international circulation until now.<\/p>\n Stream \u2018Afterlife\u2019<\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n \n
