Discreet Music (1975) is the fourth studio album by the British musician Brian Eno, and the first released under his full name (as opposed to simply "Eno").
The album is a minimalist work featuring synthesizer and tape delay. The A-side consists of one 30-minute piece, while the B-side features three variations on Canon in D Major by Johann Pachelbel, performed by the Cockpit Ensemble and conducted by Gavin Bryars.
