Music of the Spheres is the 3rd solo album released by Ian Brown, the ex-frontman of The Stone Roses. It is noted for its minimalist song structures with tracks like "Hear No See No" and "El mundo pequeño", sung in Spanish.

Highlights on this album include "F.E.A.R.", where the first letters of each word in a stanza spell out the song title. For example, "For each a road" and "Fallen empires are ruling". Other standout tracks include "Stardust" and "Northern Lights".

The Canadian edition of the album omits Track 5, "Hear No See No".
