Any Eno fans out there?

What albums should a first timer listen too?

TheVoice · 18 Nov 2012 at 19:02

Apollo is one of my favourites.

Another Green World

Need to dig it out again and give it a spin.

In my opinion he is a musical genius, and one of the best producers ever.

True story:
I went to see Roxy Music in the 70s and Brian Eno used to pick on one person in the audience and stare at them through the whole concert - guess who that person was? It was very unsettling.

This is one of my all time favourite songs -

.... or Baby's on Fire. The really early solo albums sound a bit crap now (to me anyway), but that one really sticks out.

Absolutely adore Music for Airports.

Absolutely.

Another Green World is one of the best albums ever made imo. I also like the one he did with David Byrne.... Life in the bush of ghosts, I think it was called.

Before and After Science gets a bit of a mixed press, but I think it might be down to when it was released. On its merits now, I think it is very good. another great album is Taking Tiger Mountain.

My Life In The Bush of Ghosts is pretty special.

Another vote for Before and After Science as a starter or Discrete Music if you want ambient. His new one ,out last week, is similar ambient. Thursday Afternoon was the first CD I ever bought.
you could,maybe, live without ' The Lion Sleeps tonight''

801 Live has a real 70's feel to it if that's what you are after.

I visit my Uncle and Aunt who have a flat overlooking the English channel. In the mornings at breakfast he plays music for airports. That music, a cup of proper coffee, a view of the sea and good company is all I ask for.

They mentioned that there was a Brian Eno app that lets you compose your own Brian Eno classics. Quick search:
