Roger Eno presents 'The Skies: Rarities'. The eight-track album features unreleased material from the original album sessions from 'The Skies, They Shift Like Chords', 2023 World Piano Day track 'Through the Blue (Piano Version)' and former Amazon Original track 'Above and Below'. As well as solo piano pieces, Rarities includes one track for choir and electronics ('Patterned Ground'), and one for string orchestra ('Breaking The Surface'), for which the instrumentalists of Scoring Berlin were asked to both play from the score and improvise. Guitarist Jon Goddard, meanwhile, appears on 'Into Silence', giving the track what Eno calls 'a particular flavour it would otherwise have lacked'.
