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. ---

Funny that he’s one of the world’s most recognizable artists from the Windows 95 sound. ---

Back when I was doing my radio show my standard line was “I’m feeling positively (sp?) Enoid this evening” and I would launch into an extended set of BE. I used two different tape loops “under” my voice when I spoke and one was the guitar from “Sky Saw”. I have said for years that if I ever get an elevator it would play Eno. Unclviny (who strongly suggests reading “the vertical color of sound”) ---

I remember a man Who jumped out from a window over the bay There was hardly a raised eyebrow The coroner told me This kind of thing happens every day… …you see, from the pagoda The world is so tiny ---

**fishbicycle** , I was listening to that just last night–but not by Eno. I finally got around to buying Doug Hilsinger and Caroleen Beatty’s recreation of the entire **Taking Tiger Mountain** album. It’s very faithful to the original arrangements for the most part, although Hilsinger gives everything a a more hard-edged grunge-rock sound. Hardly essential, but fun. ---

Ooooooooh! I got that album about a month ago! _Very_ cool, especially Beatty’s vocals! 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 🆒 ---

I’ve been eye-balling this one for awhile now. Like to get it but still haven’t bought all of the Eno remasters yet. ---
