Here Comes Brian Eno

Advantages: Eno's first musical high
Disadvantages: One bad track

...Music. Only Here Come the Warm Jets is something different. It is an unusual beginning in many ways when considered against some of her later works. Only his second solo album is comparable (Taking Tiger Mountain [By Strategy]) as they are both song based albums. Another Green World and Before and After Science may well have conventional songs (well, as conventional as Eno ever gets) but they also show his leaning towards pure ambient, though in ...
...need some strident, shrieking Fripp here and what happens. We get strident, shrieking, yet Eno controlled Fripp. He adds the body to Eno’s mind, musical wallop to Eno’s calculated ideas. The effect just needs to be heard to be believed. Immensely powerful, the song ending with the two playing off each other near King Crimson style – only one vocal and one instrumental; each complements the other perfectly. Eno met his match in Fripp and vice versa ...

Thursday Afternoon - Brian Eno

Advantages: calming, gentle, ideal for chilling out
Disadvantages: none

...beautiful, calming, relaxing and ideal for quiet reading or thinking. At times I've used Thursday Afternoon as music to fall asleep to. It 's a lovely album and can usually be found a fairly bargain prices. Well worth picking up as a gentle antidote to today's increasingly busy world. ...

Music For Films - Brian Eno

Advantages: gorgeous little vignettes of music, all with their own character
Disadvantages: only that some of pieces are too short

...that I believe imbues the music with a certain character that you just don't get these days. The sheer act of physically moving tape, altering guitar and piano sounds with analogue synths gives these pieces a vitality and immediacy that remains with the listener for ever. Despite being a collection of fairly random tracks there was a lot of thought and care that went into the sequencing and the album hangs together beautifully. There is a glorious ...
...two, my favourite, "Strange Light" (two minutes of deeply affecting music that takes most of its time to fade in and then fade out again) leads into the appropriate "Final Sunset" which sinks slowly out of view, and earshot. I can't recommend this album enough. Eno at his best. ...

Music: Before and After Eno

Advantages: Wonderfully inventive, often moving music from the master
Disadvantages: A few wrong moments

...one has ever written about Before and After Science previously. When shopping for CDs in Paris I remember noticing that they had Before and After Science stickered as being one of the 100 most important albums of all time and rightly so. This is Eno’s final album (barring Wrong Way Up perhaps) before he eschewed conventional song writing for purely ambient and more experimental music, though like Another Green World, Before and After Science (for ...
...These Lands. Pop is Before Science; the experimental is After Science; this being all the more obvious when considering much of Eno’s early ambient was no more than him running a feedback loop through various ‘whatnots’ (being the technical term); Fripp described drinking tea in Eno’s front room as in the room in the back Eno’s music recorded itself. At first it seems even Eno himself was originally blind to the possibilities of his ambient music. ...

Wrong Way Up - Brian Eno and John Cale

Advantages: perfect pop songs, mature, amusing and catchy
Disadvantages: slightly dated production

This album contains some of Brain Eno's most commercial songs ever and some of John Cale's most atmospheric lyrics ever. Recorded in 1990 at Eno's home studio the sessions began amicably enough but by the end the two men were hardly speaking as Cale began to resent what he saw as Eno's constant tinkering with perfectly good recordings. The daggers between the faces on the album cover reflect this tension. However none of this is apparent when listening ...
...I own there is a perpetual sunny atmosphere throughout, which occasionally spills over into outright goofiness. The absurdity of the sea shanty "Empty Frame" is infectious and I defy anyone not to grin along with the tune. But somehow it avoids embarrassment and silliness. Other highlights include one of Eno's most romantic tunes "Spinnig Away" with its delightful lyric about sketching Arles' cathedral "with my pencil turning moments into lines" ...
