I’m a big fan of Eno’s and it’s a crime that nothing comes up when you do a search for him. I wanted to change that. A call to arms to the domed one’s fans!
I’m more of a fan of Eno’s production work (from classics like Low and Remain in Light to Laid and the Passengers album), but Another Green World, Here come the warm jets, and Taking tiger mountain by strategy are essential listening.

Any chance they’ll do Before and After Science next?
“…There was a senator from Ecuador
Who talked about a meteor
That crashed on a hill in the south of Peru
And was found by a conquistador
Who took it to the emperor
And he passed it on to a Turkish guru…”
…plus the first Roxy Music album, plus his collaborations with Robert Fripp, David Byrne, John Cale…
Eno’s one of the great, yet relatively obscure cultural icons and influences of our era. For over 30 years, he’s been a perennial beacon of what’s
