Ambient 3 was the shit.

Too bad it wasn't ambient. Except Meditation, maybe.

the guitar solo in st elmos fire is fucking fantastic btw.

love ambient 2 and the pearl. also not only the original music for airports but also bang on a cans version. um, before and after science, another green world, apollo.. also the harmonia stuff with cluster is good. i like most of it, really.

his work on the u2 an codplay albums was great

p.s taking tiger mountain for the win

king's lead hat

I only have "Music for Airports" and ambient is my favorite musical genre, what should I check out?

I highly recommend On Land, Evening Star, and The Pearl.

Not forget.

Just not "highly recommend".

It's good, but not as good as The Pearl.

i prefer here come the warm jets to any of his ambient stuff

4 realz.

Along with Taking Tiger Mountain and Another Green World, those 3 albums rule my face.

he is in my list of top artists .. ever

yeah me too. The Pearl is a bloody good album. Even his installations CDs are great (Lightness, Forest Proposal, etc..). on Eno producing U2 & Coldplay, see the low sales of the installations cds.

why is Brian Eno not Knighted yet ?? seriously

how the hell has nobody mentioend "Another Green World" and his collab with David Byrne on "My Life in a Bush of Ghosts". That album was made in 1981 and its still ahead for its time

Brian Eno <3

check out anything by Cluster, the band that had a heavy influence on Brian Eno's 'invention' of ambient

h

yes, MLITBOG is fucking fantastic. As is Another Green World. AGW is so utterly perfect and fripp's solo on St. Elmo's Fire kills me every time. How has no one mentioned Discreet Music yet? It was his first conscious effort at ambient. About four years before Music For Airports, and it's just as good.

Yup. Before and After Science was an anagram for the album's original title, Arcane Benefits of Creed.

Still haven't bought his latest release, the new collab with Byrne.

Anyone care to tell me what it's like?

its got a couple of good tracks but it nowhere compared to their previous my life in a bush of ghosts. Its still decent though. Strange Overtones and Life is Long are my fav from the new album

I would recommend a listen though

this is very much true

also music for films

all three of them

also his collabs with bowie are worth a mention. essentially made bowie good again. or good at all.

anything by eno is gold, cept his production work with coldplay(i dont even think hes to blame for that)

every album has its own charm, everything from Here Come the Warm Jets to Discreet Music to The Drop.

you cant really lose out and not appreciate, as a music aficionado what hes done for the modern musical artform.
