    While Mixing Colours has some of these delights, it is a much less grandiose affair borne out of amiable melodies and dulcet tones.

    Mixing Colours shows Roger and Brian Eno at their most casual and unguarded, but there's simply not enough variety, curiosity or sense of adventure here to dub it as a must-listen.

    Elegant and haunting as the individual tracks may be, it's difficult to remain engaged throughout 75 minutes of music with such a uniform mood. [May 2020, p.89]

    The album is too inoffensive to leave much lasting impression. Over 18 songs, its initially appealing tastefulness becomes cloying and monotonous. Instead of the dynamism of mixing colors, the album mostly yields just a uniform pastel wash.

    No es que no sepa apreciar la Música Clásica o la música Ambiental y Experimental, es uno de los géneros que probablemente es más difícil crear, sin embargo Roger Eno y Brian Eno han hecho un álbum sin discurso, sin emoción, sin narrativa. Es apenas una sensación que se va tan rapido como llega. No hay decoro, extensión o tamaño, simplemente un ruido espacial que de dudosa procedencia y que pasa en frente de nuestros oídos con indiferencia, y aunque nos incite a voltear a ver, simplemente la ausencia de una forma o figura es lo que deja al espectador confundido y dormido. Sí hay algún valor en esta música necesita ser explicada pues su destino carece de propósito. Estas canciones de cuna son perfectas para no ser escuchadas.

    It is not that I don't know how to appreciate Classical Music or Ambiental and Experimental music, is probably one of the most difficult genres to create, nevertheless, Roger Eno and Brian Eno has made a speechless album, with no emotion and no narrative. It is barely a sensation that goes away as quickly as it came. There is no embellishment, extension, or size, simply a spatial noise of doubted origin that comes by in front of our ears with indifference, and even if it provokes us to turn to see, simply the absence of form and figure is what leave the spectator confused and sleepy. If there's any value in this music, it needs to be explained because its destiny lacks porpoise. This llulaby is perfect for not being listened to.    … Full Review »
