'The Sinking of the Titanic' is considered by many to be the magnum opus of Yorkshire's own Gavin Bryars. Originally released in 1975, it was the first release on Brian Eno's fledgling Obscure Music Label. This modern classical masterpiece was produced by Eno and was Bryars's first major and most enduring work. It features Derek Bailey, Michael Nyman, and John White and is an imagined reconstruction of the passenger's experience of being aboard the sinking vessel. It's an incredibly poignant work and features 'Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet' which is apparently Tom Waits's favorite piece of music of all time.
