This is probably one of the most beautiful musics ever produced by man. It is cold and warm at the same time. It is both spring and autumn as well as endless deserts and endless waters. Track 2 was played on Swedish TV shortly after the horrible "Estonia"-catastrophy and, well, SVT couldn't have chosen a more suitable soundtrack. I recommend this album with all my heart and soul. This is music for births and deaths. My vinyl copy is getting somewhat outworn, though, but it doesn't really matter, because this music is too strong to be outworn...
BRIAN ENO is best known for his pioneering work in rock, ambient, pop, and electronic music. A self-described "non-musician", Eno has helped to introduce a variety of unique conceptual approaches and recording techniques into contemporary music, advocating a methodology of "theory over practice" throughout his career.[1][2] He has been described as one of popular music's most influential and innovative figures.[1][3][4]
Born in Suffolk, Eno studied painting and experimental music at art school in the late 1960s before joining glam rock group Roxy Music as synthesizer player in 1971. After recording two albums with the band, he departed in 1973 to record a number of solo albums, contributing to and ultimately coining the concept of ambient music with works such as Another Green World (1975), Discreet Music (1975), and Music for Airports (1978). He took part in frequent collaborations with artists such as Robert Fripp, Harold Budd, Cluster, David Bowie on his "Berlin Trilogy", and David Byrne on 1981's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. During the 1970s, Eno would also begin a parallel career as a producer, which included work on albums by Talking Heads and Devo, the no wave compilation No New York (1978), and recordings by avant-garde artists such as John Cale, Jon Hassell, Laraaji, and Harold Budd, among others.
