Brian Eno

I'm listening to this:

and afterwards I may listen to this:

any Eno appreciators out there? Show yourselves!

the jig is up, ive been found , well, actually, you've been found, but i must admit my eno obsession

Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) is my favorite album, though Here Comes the Warm Jets comes a close second.

I liked him back in his Roxy Music days

whew, b.eno's music exists on a level almost above music. definitely a big fan~~

i love brian eno's music and so many of the projects in which he has participated. recently i have been enjoying taking tiger mountain thanks to running across it in a CD store. i listened to it on cassette for years until i just didn't own a functioning cassette deck any more. there was a few year period where i went to sleep listening to "thursday afternoon". he also produced portions of my favorite jane siberry record "when i was a boy". brian eno could be politely described as fabulously talented.

for christmas i got a set of oblique strategies cards. i keep them in my studio and delve into them when i am having moral qualms with a direction a song is headed. i don't know if the musicians appreciate them, but i sure do. i recently pulled,

destroy:
nothing
the most important thing.

when a mix is totally falling apart that is powerful advice.

BIg fan...

As we used to say around here, "Eno is God."

Cindy tells me, "the rich girls are weeping."
Cindy tells me, "they've given up sleeping alone."
And now they're so confused by their new freedoms.

No one can touch Eno.

Eno is the neo one. His work with Harold Budd & Jon Hassell never grows outdated for me.

i'd stick my hand up in adulation... but i find his work incredibly variable, i'll listen to one recording and fall in love all over then listen to another and swear never to touch his work again

wow, Oblique Strategies - i haven't thought about those things in years. i want some now!

yes, i too like Eno very much. especially for his work with and introducing me to Harold Budd...

This baby is always on fire.

I love "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" with David Byrne and his Roxy Music stuff.

An Ending (Ascent) from 28 Days Later, and Deep Blue Day from Trainspotting are my favorites of his.

He's been a big topic lately. We have been listening to him at my work, and my yoga teacher plays some bells album he did during yoga.

I LOOOOOOVE Here comes the Warm Jets!

Eno is god!

xxx

I'm glad his pop albums and early ambient stuff have been reissued. For quite a while there, people would have no idea who Brian Eno was other than Trainspotting soundtrack.
"You mean the boring synthesizer guy?"

destruction.

I did think "Here Comes the Warm Jets" was pretty damn good. The ambient stuff is interesting, but none of it has really stuck with me.

Essential

needle in the camel's eye makes me smile every time i hear it.

luv him.

Those remasters are a godsend. That said, most of his ambient work is quite overrated, and most of his pop work is quite underrated.
