In Reply to: Brian Eno doesn't suck... posted by KT88 on July 3, 2005 at 11:29:34:
I like Brian Eno a LOT. Like many others who are very progressive, some of his stuff doesnt do much for me, but when he gets it right, there is nobody better. One disk available (Music for films) is a collection of pieces written for various film or TV spots, is a good listen by itself, however, when heard on the video they were written for, it is remarkable how perfectly it fits. 'Apollo', another disk of music written for a film, is another example of the music being a perfect fit. Find the DVD 'For All Mankind' to hear this music put to film. This was originally a National Geographic video, but the rights are now owned by someone else. A very good DVD, in my opinion.

I believe that I have his "Music for Film" Lp and I know that I have "Music for Airports" as it is so weird!

I didnt mention his non-film stuff, but I am a big fan of it as well, for the most part. Music for Airports was the disk that really turned me on to Brian Eno. Its funny, but when I first brought the LP home and listened to it, it did nothing for me. Then, about 6 months later, I put it on again, and it hit me just right, and I have been a big fan ever since. Its interresting to read the liner notes on that disk, from his original idea for the concept, as well as his audio/visual experiment at the airport (forget which). His collaborations with other artists is worth exploring as well. I am really fond of Laurie Anderson, who has worked with Brian on a few pieces (Bright Red/Tightrope is the best, I think). Quite an interresting artist, overall. Too bad he is not doing as much music as he used to.
