The Fear of Never Landing takes us on a dynamic journey that's atmospheric, diaphanous and never short of mesmerising. Formed in Manchester in 2003, their debut album, Under Wires and Searchlights (2003), introduced their signature sound, but it was their 2011 release of Weightless that brought international acclaim. Developed in collaboration with a sound therapist, Weightless was scientifcally recognised as \"the world's most relaxing song\", praised for its ability to reduce anxiety and heart rates. With over 900 million streams and widespread coverage across media, the track remains a cultural phenomenon. With The Fear of Never Landing, Marconi Union once again showcases their unmatched ability to create immersive soundscapes that resonate deeply. The album reafrms their position as masters of atmosphere and emotional storytelling, making it an essential addition to their storied catalog - A 55-minuteodyssey presented as one seamless piece divided into nine movements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased \/ \u003cstrong\u003e07\/04\/2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cb\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eJMUS-067\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e677603033423\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eMarconi Union\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eJust Music\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenre \/ \u003cstrong\u003eElectronic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RedEye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42383873671229,"sku":"ELE-M-677603033423","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/4423074-3385689.jpg?v=1748963328"},{"product_id":"marconi-union-multiforms-ambient-transmissions-vol-3","title":"Marconi Union - Multiforms: Ambient Transmissions Vol. 3","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMarconi Union return with Multiforms: Ambient Transmissions Vol.3, the latest chapter in their long-running Ambient Transmissions series, released via Just Music.

From their 2003 debut Under Wires and Searchlights through to a string of critically acclaimed releases, their work has continually balanced texture, emotion and spatial depth. As Uncut succinctly put it: \"Few others offer mellow journeys into night as effectively as Marconi Union.\" Multiforms: Ambient Transmissions Vol.3 builds on the foundations of 2011's Beautifully Falling Apart (Vol.1) and 2012's Weightless (Vol.2). The latter of which introduced their most widely recognised work 'Weightless'. Conceived as a complete listening experience, Multiforms: Ambient Transmissions Vol.3 unfolds as a single, continuous piece, each movement folding seamlessly into the next. There are no standout tracks by design; instead, the album invites full immersion, encouraging the listener to drift through shifting atmospheres, serene soundscapes and quietly evolving emotional states. It is both expansive and intimate, designed for deep listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased \/ \u003cstrong\u003e09\/04\/2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cb\u003eJMUS-68\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cstrong\u003e677603033980\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ \u003cstrong\u003eMarconi Union\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel \/ \u003cstrong\u003eJust Music\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenre \/ \u003cstrong\u003eElectronic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RedEye","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43482664239165,"sku":"ELE-M-677603033980","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/4523378-3664351.jpg?v=1787071748"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.plaidroomrecords.com\/collections\/artist-marconi-union.oembed","provider":"Plaid Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
