Another Green World

Unimpeachable. I'm a fan, but I'll admit Brian Eno is over-beloved, But, this album along with Here Come Warm Jets and Apollo are all necessary records in my mind.

I’ve had to sit with this record for a few days prior to talking about it. First, this album is a pure joy to listen to. Eno creates an ethereal atmosphere accented by true beauty. The album flows effortlessly between minimalistic ambient pieces that paint a colorful picture to vocal led tracks that stick in your brain. It truly feels like an exploration of a new world full of color, serenity, and simplicity. While the structure can be simple, the songs burst with emotion and imagery. Masterpiece.

Wow thanks The opening track of Another Green World was probably the only Brian Eno piece I had heard before listening to this album in full. Familiar yet never enough to pull me further in. I always knew I should have explored his work more deeply but somehow never did. Better later than sooner I suppose. Because this is not an album you casually step into. Labeling it as ambient music feels wrong it is something much more than that. There are traces of rock prog pop and avant garde throughout but none of them behave the way you expect. Another Green World does not aim to impress or overwhelm it quietly challenges your listening habits instead. My taste buds shaped by nearly twenty years of musical exploration felt ready this time. Ready to be receptive ready to be open. This album is not music meant to disappear into the room. It is music that teaches you how to listen differently. And once you approach it that way what it has to offer starts to reveal itself patiently and on its own terms.

What a beautiful album! It manages to sound interesting, serene, and experimental all at the same time without overdoing any element. I had a hard time deciding which track to add to my Generator playlist before settling on “Golden Hours”.

I listen to this to help me sleep. Wonderful

💚💚💚💚💚

Oh my god... Why did no one ever sit me down and make me listen to this before... I never really explored Eno's work proper although obviously I was aware of his importance and impact on other artists. Now I'm glad I did, it so rarely happens that I come across an album that excites me any more and this is such a delight I've been listening to it repeatedly over a couple of days and saving tracks to playlists. I said a few albums back that Norah Jones was not the sort of thing I go to for relaxing listening but this right here? THIS is it exactly. I swear I can feel it curing my ADHD

Super fun album! Very much enjoyed it

genialer Künstler

nice - divers

4.2/5 A-

Eno goes ambient and I'm here for it. This is like Bowie on sleeping pills, where he nods out for half the songs and it is just instrumental soundscapes. I love it.

This is really nice

Eno's best non-fully ambient, the conversion from a glam freak to a Freak freak. I like how much this feels like Low, especially in comparison to here comes the warm jets (my second fav of his) - I really like Eno's weird vocals when they're used this sparingly. The Big Ship might be the best song ever recorded, Robert Fripp is a fucking god on st. elmo's fire, don't know what more I could possibly want

:)

Early ambince.....

Very nice. I knew Brian Eno but not this album. Awesome experience.

I’m not even done listening and I already know it’s 5/5. This is beautiful.

Even fifty years later, this sounds like alien pop music, with its wobbling synths, surreal lyrics and futuristic sounds. Amazing album!

I’m starting to understand why Brian Eno is held in such high regard.

Eno transitions more fully towards making ambient masterpieces (with a few "traditional" songs, at least by Eno's standards). It's certainly not something you rock out to, but it sounds amazing. I like pretty much every track, but standouts are St. Elmo's Fire (that Fripp solo is amazing - Eno told him to sound like a Wimshurst machine, which generates high voltage with an arc of electricity that jumps between poles. I hear it. I also like his clean solo on Golden Hours), Over Fire Island (love the bass on this and Sky Saw), In Dark Trees (a cool dark ambient instrumental), Everything Merges with the Night (love the cascading piano line - it takes you away on a gentle ride), and Spirits Drifting (cool ambient closing track with a nice little bit of dissonance). Outstanding album.

Brian Eno is obviously a musical genius. But he's also a lot more - he's a proper artist, equally as interested in the process of creativity, as the output. And that's very obvious on this album. Going into the studio with nothing, and using the restrictions of his "Oblique Strategies" cards to funnel creative exploration is a proper artist focused on the act of creativity. But that's not saying that the output captured in the studio, what I'm listening to right now, isn't something great. It really is. But it equally feels like it captured a moment of artistic creativity, rather than a predefined song represented in a recording. This entire act, using the restrictions of the Oblique Strategies, brings about some pretty unique sounds. I often can't tell what instrumentation is used, and I believe that's because so much of this is created using crazy techniques like guitar digital delay feeding back into itself, or playing string instruments with hammers or other madcap ideas in experimentation. What comes through in the album is a collection of brilliant moments in artistic experimentation. Every single song is completely unique, approached from a different perspective, very experimental, but always melodic and enjoyable.

nostalgic and good for me 💚💚💚💚💚

If you like you're music interesting, this is the album to go.

Such a beautiful album. Absolutely loved it. My favourite song was I’ll come running.

esse marca bonitim a transição do eno de rockzim pra ambient. ainda tem os dois, mas BEM pouquinho de rock mas enfim. acho esse lindo demais. st. elmo fire é perfeita e aí vem i'll come running que eh das musica mais bonita do mundo!! até o ambient é bem atmosférico e minimalista, interessante demais, quase onírico. amo a produção e a maneira que o album foi composto a moda caralha, sem nada pronto (ou sequer pensado) antes de entrar no estúdio. enfim eh um clássico, foda-se, tem que ouvir memo

Ese beat pasado a cueca en The Big Ship, esa mención a Santiago, aunque no esté bajo un volcan. Me hizo sonreir. Volveré a escucharlo aunque a ratos era medio olvidable, como la vida misma.

Unique and distinct each song! But comes together beautifully. Clear and abundant talent. In love with this album

Just a compelling listen all the way through, as Eno transitions from artrock to something else. Very easy five stars.

Pretty amazing for 1975

I think Eno truly felt these sounds and brought them to life. Many of the vocal lines sounded like children’s songs to me. I can feel the sounds growing, I feel nature, and I feel hope.

Brian Eno truly is the father of ambient music. His work makes you feel like you’re stepping into a world that exists outside of time. This album plays more like a series of landscapes rather than traditional songs. Synthesizers dominate the soundscape, shifting between warm and melodic to icy and abstract. There are some guitar elements throughout, mostly performed by Robert Fripp of King Crimson, but even those are used more for texture and atmosphere than melody or riffs. Overall, this is definitely a bridge album, transitioning from the glam rock leaning sound of his earlier solo work and his time with Roxy Music into the more ambient, abstract direction he would later evolve towards. You can still hear some traces of glam influence here, but this is first and foremost an ambient driven art rock album, that’s moody, conceptual, and deeply immersive.

Absolutely smashing fusion of avant-garde experimentation and pop sensibilities. Everything on this record is sure-footed and purposeful, even as Eno and his fellow musicians are pushing at the boundaries of rock music.

Solid asf. My first eno. FIVE

Audio nostalgia. Five star album.

Amazing and beautiful soundscapes with prog-rock giants like Robert Fripp on guitar and Phil Collins on drums. This album is a wonder and influenced so many other artists in the electronic, ambient, and rock universe. It's also got great melodies that stick in the mind and senses. It engages on all levels and is an easy 5 stars for me.

This is an album I find myself returning to often. I think it's Brian Eno's best work outside of his strictly ambient stuff. The wonder that St Elmo's fire evokes, the palpable emotion and epic feel of The Big Ship, and its tranquil sequel in Becalmed, the weird whimsy of I'll Come Running, just pick a track and there's something remarkable. Its a record that makes me feel something every time I hear it. Eno is a composer more than a musician at the core, and these songs are all wonderfully composed

Phenomenal album. Probably the most important in Eno’s career as it’s the transitional point between his glam era and his ambient pieces. Both contrast extremely well and makes this an enjoyable listen all the way through 1. THE BIG SHIP 2. ST. ELMO’S FIRE 3. GOLDEN HOURS 4. EVERYTHING MERGES WITH THE NIGHT 5. BECALMED 6. I’LL COME RUNNING 7. ANOTHER GREEN WORLD 8. SKY SAW 9. IN DARK TREES 10. SOMBRE REPTILES 11. ZAWINUL / LAVA 12. SPIRITS DRIFTING 13. OVER FIRE ISLAND 14. LITTLE FISHES

La variété des timbres utilisée avec tous ces instruments funky ça me parle. Pas besoin d'inventer le trip-hop rendu là! Et quel all star line-up! Il y a des passes très prog rock, qui heureusement ne s'éternisent pas (ce que je réalise en vieillissant c'est qu'on a pas besoin d'une toune de 25 minutes pour avoir les bons grooves et les bons riffs du prog). On voit clairement où Phil Collins se dirigeait avec A Trick of the Tail un an plus tard. La plus belle façon de sauver un band en crise à mon avis, mais c'est un autre sujet. Becalmed et ses textures planantes m'ont fait penser à Motion Picture Soundtrack de Radiohead, j'avais jamais vu Eno comme une source d'inspiration pour Radiohead mais ça aurait du sens. Est-ce que Zawinul/Lava a un lien avec le late great Joe Zawinul? Mystère On dirait que Morrissey s'invite sur Everything merges with the night

Vraiment aimé les tracks ambiantes. Sa voix me semble un peu drabe et flat, mais les chansons etaient quand même excellents. J’aurai besoin de temps pour explorer cet album, mais ça va clairement se faire rejouer.

There's maybe a dozen albums that I've kept in the forefront of my mind when going through this list on a week to week basis. Just a handful of albums that, upon refreshing each night, illicit an immediate positive reaction when they pop up on my screen. I pumped my fist and smiled immediately when this album turned up. I love this endeavor with my whole heart. There's a special few albums that I'll have the joy of not just writing about, but writing about how they imprinted upon me; 'Another Green World' is one of those select few. An what an anomalous little beauty of a record this thing is. It's still hard to believe this was done in the mid 70's. AGW is both ahead of it's time and completely left of the flow of time. The confluence of electronics and instrumentation is still unlike anything I've ever heard. Much like it's artwork, the music on here is a bit liminal, a bit evocative, a bit uncanny, and a bit idyllic. "Sky Saw" as the intro is always a bit of a front for me - it sounds more sharp and edgy than the material that follows it. But it's a very effective attention-grabber. "Over Fire Island" takes things in the opposite direction with a mumbly bassline and some meandering synths/sfx that really just set up the next track: "St. Elmo's Fire". I dont know what genre SEF is, artpop? Is there even a genre to describe it?? Much like that new Oklou project, this song has no kickdrum, but is still wildly catchy! How is that possible!! The keys melodies and descriptive lyrics are just so fun. "In Dark Trees" then gives us another shorter, synth driven cut. The reverb/hall effects give this song a slightly eerie, inconspicuous feeling. Next comes everyones favorite "The Big Ship". The simple, sweet synth chords on this track are a warm hug when it's needed most. "I'll Come Running" is Eno's stranger, more surreal "Bridge Over Troubled Water". He sings with conviction but paints a picture that's too silly to consider this a love song. The title track is next, and it's maybe the closest you'll get to hearing a song that actually sounds a bit like the mid 70's - just some electric guitars and a moog synth in passing. After this is "Sombre Reptiles" which is the best waiting room song you'll ever hear. A dive into the ambient and strange happens as we fade into the very short "Little Fishes", which is the stuff of abstract cubist dreams. One of the most incredible tracks I'll ever hear in all my days is "Golden Hours". I am stricken by this songs stillness, it's ability to stop you in your tracks and sit you down. So few songs are as existential and confounding as Golden Hours. Eno may have lyrically come as close as possible to manifesting the feeling of time passing, of aging, and the oddity of the human experience. Under Eno's musings is a looping synth that never really resolves itself, furthering the uncontrollable but kind of warming feeling this song emanates. "Oh me oh my" says Eno with a resolute stoicism. A fun nugget at the end of this song is hearing a drum track aaaalmost fade in under everything, only to immediately stop, and have the whole song fade out. "Beclamed" is a warm synth lullaby that always reminded me of Daft Punk's "Nightvision". Then Zainul/Lava" comes and goes as maybe my only semi-forgettable track on the project, to give way to "Everything Merges With The Night". This is the last time you'll hear Eno's vocals, singing with more of that upright but gentle delivery about memory and the estranged feeling of the thoughts that run through his mind at night. "Spirits Drifting" closes things out and makes sure you are left with little feelings of tacit unease. The wobbly synths truly do hover around like spirits drifting. What I love most about this album is that it portrays feelings and states of being that words don't quite reach. Moments of full beauty and restfulness can be linked together with bizarre, minimalist passages - all within a matter of minutes. Chambered, spooky synth loops will give way to the fullness of a vibrant vocal ballad. This album was one of the first I discovered in my early adult life with no context to hold it to. I knew nothing about Brian Eno and he blew the doors off my perceptions of how music should be linked to the time it came from with this album. I couldnt believe I found something that soundtracked an acceptance of all the oddities in life, with sounds instead of just words. I remember listening to this album in the early A.M. on the 14 hour roadtrip to Oakland for Genesis 7, sharing in the experience of being captivated by the strange & twinkly essence pouring out of it all. I love Another Green World

Holy shit. This is sublime, life-affirming. Each one of these songs is an entirely new sound universe. It's experimental yet very catchy and addicting. Some faves: St. Elmo's Fire - it's basically a pop song? love the frantic vibes + awesome guitar solo The Big Ship - epic build-up, the ultimate pump-up song. makes me want to go on an adventure and do epic shit Becalmed - ethereal, other-worldly synths. Tranquil, everything is going to be okay. Will def be coming back to this over and over again, so much to explore!

I can’t really find any fault with this album, this is Brian Eno at his best. Beautiful album with lots of nice, short yet spacious songs. There is room here for experimentation and solo’ing without it becoming pretentious. Robert Fripp’s guitar work is some of the best he’s ever done here as well.

shit was actually fire !!!

I remember hearing about Eno & Fripp when I was younger, but I never bothered to buy/listen to an album to see what all the talk was about. I don't think my younger self would have appreciated this wonderfully weird music, but I love it now.

Strange and alien but at the same time so deeply human that its kind of painful and hurts my brian eno tulpa when anyone says this album is boring and uninteresting... This wasn't a record I came back to frequently for a very long time but when I downloaded it onto my phone and listened to only it for a whole month during the winter time it did grow on me I used to not really enjoy Ms. Eno's voice but he never has claimed to be a musician or vocalist so it is okay that he sounds like if u put a microphone directly against my lips while I hummed through my teeth in the shower

Hauntingly beautiful tracks like The Big Ship and Everything Merges With the Night. Elsewhere machine noise experimental compositions like Over Fire Island. Somehow this still works as a coherent album and not an explosion of ideas. The vocal tracks are an unexpected treat. 5/5

How this album has such a low rating is beyond me

Eno starting to come into his own. I dig it. Fripp’s contributions are great.

I have listened to this album hundreds of times, and it's one of my favorites and one of the all time greats. An easy 5 stars.

I was about to write this off but in the middle of the album it all clicked when “The Big Ship” played.

This might be my favourite Brian Eno album yet.

Meget bra

A moving and completely wonderful album.

Surprisingly good !

im almost kinda surprised this record as as widely loved as it is when i sit back and think ab it. in what way are u even supposed to Absorb this ...theres a couple more straightforward pop song structures here but eno often applies the same economy to the impressionist/ambient pieces in a way that it kinda feels like only He did (the bowie berlin suites are similar ofc). many tracks on here feel like places that future artists would let u stay in far longer...everything here is so fleeting. ig it drives home that eno's innovations were springboarded off of previously existing types of music...textured sketches in the same length and rhetorical presentation as a pop/rock song. its as good a reason as any to come back to the album repeatedly, anyway. i think ive said it before, but eno rly is the king of sounds that sound Like Themselves. also this is just the cutest album ever fsr...a mental toybox, spaces to run and roll around in, trees to climb, lakes to swim in, and this strange sheen over all of it that reminds me of a timid first-time confession of love

Like a set of musical legos that have been assembled not according to the directions, but better than what was in those instructions, this albums abandons traditional song structure in order to play around with the limits of sound production. And I’m on board with it every step of the way.

One of my favorite world builder’s most emotionally effective and affective creations; every song makes my heart soar, my eyes well, and my mind run wild with reckless abandon, admiration, and awe.

I’m excited to listen to this. Brian Eno is a name I’ve only been hearing more recently. But given how people describe him, on paper I should be a fan. This opening track, Sky Saw, is weird and I love the bass. Over fire island is wonderful from the start. I need to find out who is playing bass on this album. I can’t believe this album was from 1975. Normally when I hear old recordings of people with a modern approach it sounds “old”. This sounds like it could have been recorded in the last decade. And I’ve heard some of these ideas in albums after it. This had to be the influence. “I’ll come running” is a pop song and it blends the Beatles with modern sounds. I love this song. This is a great album.

I’ve known of Brian Eno as a producer of a lot of music I really love. Years and years ago - back in the days of Napster and dial up modems I tried to download some of his music but I didn’t know what to get and frankly the download speeds were so atrocious that I gave up. So it wasn’t until this project that I have really listened to Brian Eno’s music. This is the third album of his that I’ve listened to, and it’s an amazing collection of songs. I hated the airport album but I can’t get enough of this one. If only I’d had more patience back in the day - I could have been listening to this all along. What a find.

Beautiful, one of those albums that's exactly in tune with my brain

Spectacular

Really great. I think I prefer his previous and subsequent albums, but I like this one a lot too.

Nacrt za berlinsku trilogiju i meni najbolji eno

Solid album. Eno is massively creative with his music. I really like his ambient stuff, but this is great too.

Really liked this. Had not listened to the album previously but was recognized many of the songs from all different places. Loved Big Ship in particular. Listened to a lot of country today so this is a sweet relief and probably explains me squeezing it to a 5,

easy 5

I've listened to a few Brian Eno songs here and there but never a whole album. 'I'll Come Running' is one of those here or there songs, and I love it! I love the rest of the album too.

So much of this album sounds like video game background music, and I mean that in the greatest way possible. Many of these sound like they could be written today. It's groundbreaking and full of emotion while also being almost minimalist. There are a couple pop songs sprinkled throughout, but these are honestly mostly forgettable compared to the ambient music Eno brings to the table. My favorites are In Dark Trees, The Big Ship, Another Green World, and Spirits Drifting. Unique and cool.

Afsindigt smuk plade, de fleste af sangene er korte men kunne have fortsat i 20 minutter uden det gjorde noget. Der er nok gode ideer her til at det kunne udgøre en hel karriere for en virkelig god ambientmusiker, alle numre lyder som om de kunne have været en god ambientmusikers bedre nummer.

9/10 I love Brian Eno, I loved this, I want the last 3 songs to be on a future season finale

Wow how did Brian Eno ever get the idea to create this. Some rock type songs, the "regular" songs I'd say. Then there are the best songs, the atmospheric electronic ones. "Becalmed" and "Ziwunal/Lava" were standouts, making me float in space. 5 stars for that alone, overlooking some of the more forgettable tracks

The world of art rock was split wide open by 'Another Green World'. Eno utilized his Oblique Strategies cards to generate ideas and overcome writer's block. The cards were something like odd, minimalist writing prompts. Although Eno had used them before, the results really shine for the first time on this album. Other musicians (including Phil Collins and Robert Fripp) would receive their own cards, often with strange contrasts to what their fellow musicians were playing. Eno would randomly shuffle cards to instruct the others what to play, or imagine instruments such as 'snake guitars' which he'd then have to figure out what that meant. The result is an utterly unique piece of art that's also quite accessible, as long as you don't mind the lack of traditional song structures, which are certainly out of the window here. The legacy of 'Another Green World' for Eno was two paths. One, as a producer for the likes of David Bowie, Talking Heads, and others, he's apply the ideas of this album to their music, to much more commercial success. The other was to take the minimalism of these songs to their logical conclusion when he create 'Music for Airports' and essentially launch the ambient music genre. Either way, this is a landmark album.

Easily my favorite Brian Eno album. His best melange of ambiaent and pop music sesibilities. When he decides to serve up a beautiful pop song melody like in St. Elmo's Fire, beautifully aumented by Fripps beautiful guitar playing or I'll Come Running with it's sardonic chorus and Everything Merges With the Night, he serves up a masterpiece. And when he does ambient souds a studio trckery, again....masterpiece. It all adds up to Eno's, you guessed it, masterpiece. 5 stars

I guess I was expecting an ambient album. Maybe a sort of sound-scapey, tuneless beast. No vocals. Layered crescendos of reverb and delay. Etc. That's not what this is at all. This grooves surprisingly hard for how far it leans into 70s/electro-experimentalism. Deeply creative and melodic through and through.

Loved this

A transitional album between Eno's more glam-inspired early solo albums and his later, ground-breaking ambient work, however it's probably the best transitional album ever made. The ambient tracks really work to highlight the vocal songs and the bright, airy atmosphere is undeniable. Key tracks: St. Elmo's Fire The Big Ship I'll Come Running Zawinul/Lava

Eno's organic "scenius" experiment worked wonderfully, although the songs tend to be far stronger than the soundtracks. This album made a mighty impression on me in my high school years, and I think it still holds up as the best studio-as-an-instrument album made by someone beside the Beatles or Beach Boys.

I can't escape this record. Perhaps because it departs so starkly from the pop of its era, it astounds and confounds me in a way I really rather enjoy. I just keep listening, and that might be the metric that matters most.

This was a super cool album! I honestly wasn't really in the mood for experimental music this morning, but it really captivated me. I think the ambient nature of it is kind of soothing and it kind of pulls you in. A lot of reminded me of Dan Deacon, Sigur Ros and Radiohead. You definitely hear the inspiration for those bands in this record and with this sound. I really love how he goes between pure instrumental and vocals. It keeps you on your toes and kind of acts as a palate cleanser between songs. Holistically, this album really flows and is inviting. You think you don't want it, but then it keeps pulling you in. It was also fun how a lot of this wasn't computer generated. There are a lot of "traditional" instruments. It's fun to hear how they made these sounds with those instruments, where as today, computers kind of make everything seem within reach. And maybe that's the draw with this record, its ambitious but then also completely contempt with just being.

It took me two listens to get into Here Come The Warm Jets, but I got the appeal of this immediately. Just beautiful, calming and serene

I connected to this album inmediately. Great find

Great music. Brian Eno is not the greatest singer, but this is of course still one of these timeless superclassic albums.

"Another Green World" by Brian Eno, released in 1975, is widely regarded as one of his seminal works. This album marked a significant departure from his earlier rock-oriented recordings and showcased his evolution towards a more ambient and experimental sound. Below is an in-depth review focusing on the album's lyrics, music, production, themes, and influence, along with an assessment of its pros and cons. ### Lyrics Brian Eno's approach to lyrics on "Another Green World" is minimalist and abstract, reflecting his broader artistic philosophy. The album features fewer vocal tracks compared to his previous works, with only five of the fourteen tracks containing lyrics. When present, the lyrics are sparse and often surreal, evoking vivid imagery and emotions rather than telling a coherent story. **Examples:** - In "St. Elmo's Fire," Eno conjures up the mystical phenomenon of St. Elmo’s fire with lines like "Let's go, I'll take you there / Touch you with a searing kiss." - "Golden Hours" features cryptic reflections on time and existence, with phrases like "The passage of time is flicking dimly up on the screen." The lyrical content complements the album's ethereal and otherworldly soundscapes, contributing to its dreamlike quality. ### Music Musically, "Another Green World" is a groundbreaking blend of ambient, electronic, and rock elements. Eno's innovative use of synthesizers, tape loops, and unconventional instruments creates a rich and textured soundscape. The album is largely instrumental, with a focus on creating moods and atmospheres rather than traditional song structures. **Key Tracks:** - "Sky Saw" opens the album with a driving rhythm and distorted guitar lines, setting a tone of avant-garde experimentation. - The title track, "Another Green World," is a serene instrumental piece featuring delicate synth melodies and gentle percussion, embodying the album's ambient core. - "The Big Ship" is another standout, with its lush, sweeping synthesizer lines that evoke a sense of grandeur and vastness. Eno's ability to blend electronic and acoustic elements seamlessly is a hallmark of this album. The use of non-traditional instruments, like the electric guitar treated with various effects and synthesizers, gives the album its unique sound. ### Production The production of "Another Green World" is where Brian Eno's genius truly shines. Recorded at Island Studios in London, the album benefits from Eno's meticulous attention to detail and innovative recording techniques. Eno's approach to production is highly experimental, using the studio as an instrument itself. **Innovative Techniques:** - Eno employed the Oblique Strategies, a set of cards with random prompts designed to overcome creative blocks and encourage unconventional thinking. This method helped guide the recording process, leading to unexpected and serendipitous results. - The album features extensive use of tape loops and delay effects, creating complex layers of sound that contribute to its ambient quality. - Eno's collaboration with other musicians, including Phil Collins on drums and Percy Jones on bass, added depth and diversity to the album's sonic palette. The production quality of "Another Green World" is impeccable, with each track meticulously crafted to achieve a specific atmosphere. Eno's role as both artist and producer allowed him to fully realize his vision without compromise. ### Themes "Another Green World" explores themes of nature, time, and the human experience through its abstract and ambient approach. The album's title itself suggests a utopian vision, an escape into a serene and untouched realm. **Thematic Elements:** - Nature: Tracks like "Becalmed" and "Little Fishes" evoke the tranquility and mystery of natural environments. The music often feels organic, despite its electronic origins, creating a bridge between the synthetic and the natural. - Time and Space: The album's ambient nature encourages a contemplative experience, allowing listeners to lose track of time and immerse themselves in the soundscapes. This sense of timelessness is a recurring theme, particularly in tracks like "The Big Ship" and "Sombre Reptiles." - Human Experience: While the album is largely instrumental, the few vocal tracks touch on existential themes. For example, "Golden Hours" contemplates the fleeting nature of time and memory, while "Everything Merges With the Night" offers a melancholic reflection on solitude and connection. ### Influence "Another Green World" has had a profound influence on various genres, particularly ambient and electronic music. Eno's pioneering work laid the groundwork for the ambient genre, influencing artists such as Aphex Twin, Moby, and even mainstream musicians like David Bowie and U2, with whom Eno later collaborated extensively. **Legacy:** - Ambient Music: The album's emphasis on mood and atmosphere over melody and rhythm was revolutionary, helping to define the ambient genre. Tracks like "The Big Ship" and "In Dark Trees" are often cited as seminal works in ambient music. - Production Techniques: Eno's innovative use of studio technology and experimental production methods have been widely emulated. His approach to treating the studio as an instrument influenced countless producers and musicians. - Cross-Genre Appeal: While rooted in ambient and electronic music, "Another Green World" has also been embraced by rock and experimental music fans. Its boundary-pushing nature and timeless quality continue to attract new listeners across different musical landscapes. ### Pros and Cons **Pros:** 1. **Innovative Sound**: Eno's pioneering use of synthesizers, tape loops, and unconventional instruments created a unique and influential sound that remains fresh and relevant. 2. **Atmospheric and Immersive**: The album's ambient nature allows listeners to immerse themselves fully, providing a deeply atmospheric and contemplative experience. 3. **High Production Quality**: The meticulous production and innovative recording techniques make for an impeccably crafted album. 4. **Versatility**: The blend of ambient, electronic, and rock elements gives the album a broad appeal and showcases Eno's versatility as an artist. 5. **Influential Legacy**: The album's impact on subsequent generations of musicians and producers is significant, cementing its status as a landmark recording. **Cons:** 1. **Abstract and Non-Traditional**: The album's lack of traditional song structures and sparse lyrics may not appeal to listeners who prefer more conventional music. 2. **Challenging Accessibility**: Its experimental nature can be challenging for some listeners, particularly those unfamiliar with ambient or avant-garde music. 3. **Inconsistent Pacing**: The shift between more rhythmic tracks and serene ambient pieces can sometimes disrupt the album's flow, potentially jarring for some listeners. ### Conclusion "Another Green World" by Brian Eno is a groundbreaking and influential album that transcends traditional genre boundaries. Its innovative sound, high production quality, and atmospheric depth make it a seminal work in ambient and electronic music. While its abstract nature and non-traditional approach may not be to everyone's taste, the album's enduring influence and artistic merit are undeniable. Brian Eno's "Another Green World" remains a timeless masterpiece, inviting listeners to explore its rich, immersive soundscapes and contemplate the themes of nature, time, and the human experience.

cool sound

That was good. Listened to it twice - was distracted early so came back to give it a proper listen.

Classic

Very enjoyable sound. The cover art is aptly appropriate as it feels less like your stereotypical album and more like an experimental piece of artwork that belongs in the music version of a museum. Which I guess is exactly what this list is. Some songs hit harder than others. Sky Saw might be my favorite.b

A bit biased since this has always been a favourite of mine. I'm suprised it's so popular since it's not mainstream at all. Quirky and odd with cameos by others it sticks in your brain......

The absolute GOAT. Some of the more vocal songs are a bit of an acquired taste but this album is beautiful. Lots of nods to his more ambient stuff. “The Big Ship” is one of my all time favourites.

Had a Tom Waits album yesterday and I'd consider him a musical genius, Brain Eno is firmly in the same category. This is his best album imo, perfect mix of his earlier experimental rock stuff and the later ambient that he'd become known for. Some of the most beautiful songs you'll ever hear are on this: 'Becalmed', 'Golden Hours', 'Everything Merges With the Night', and of course 'The Big Ship' which is honestly just one of the most incredible songs ever written.

This is a groundbreaking album, but its flow is not as predictable as you might expect. Eno starts you with Sky Saw, with a riff intro and a jazzy bassline, but by track 2 (Over Fire Island), he's already leading the listener into a new wilderness of ambient, unstructured tracks. Once in a while you hear something more like a song (I'll Come Running and Golden Hours), but you get lost in some beautiful jungle of sounds and a dream-like atmosphere along the path of the album. What's most remarkable about this album is how this is only the beginning of Eno's genre-defining and category-defying role as a musician throughout his career. Absolutely essential listening for adventurous ears.

Lekker vreemd, vette nummers, vette sound

5/5. A unique and experimental album from an artist who is not afraid to expand his horizons. The transition from quirky rock to ambient instrumentals finds this album at the perfect transition stage, combining the best parts of both. Each song is a pleasure for the ears, creating imaginative worlds in less than 3 minutes each. It's a new experience at first but is a sensational listen. Best Song: Sky Saw, Big Ship, Becalmed

This list introduced me to Brian Eno and I’ve become a fan of basically everything he put his hands on…even that David Bowie album. This is my first time hearing his solo work, which I’d been looking forward to quite a bit. I can’t believe I’m giving three albums in a row 5 stars but fuck it, I really enjoyed this.

Best album

maybe

Just an amazing record. Quite want to buy it myself! The poppier songs and ambient music are an amazing blend. Sky Jaw is a great opener and sets the tone perfectly. I love ambient, and the final trio of ambient tracks are an amazing bunch and it showcases most this album’s strengths well. It’s an atmospheric and ethereal ear massage like every song on this album. Spirits Drifting is an excellent farewell that feels heartfelt and personal. The amazing production is all throughout staple of Brian Eno, and that applies here as well. The lyricism is simplistic but amazing as well. I just love everything about this. The shorter tracks, the longer tracks, it’s all amazing! Easy 5 stars.

At first, I thought I wasn't going to like this album. It has a very strange sound, and it doesn't ease you into it. As the album progresses it sucks you in, and by the end of it, I was feeling emotional. A unique album that I am very glad was on this list, as I doubt I would have come across otherwise. Definitely one of my favourites so far.

Oh Eno! Definitive. Perfection. Mastery. A master artist of a genre, creating perfect musical instrumental impressionist topography akin to feelings of meditation or guided astral travel. He produces the highest quality music of this style I have ever had the pleasure of trying. I have searched a lot too. While this album might have been seminal for being so new (it was the 70s!), it is terribly flawed and jarring, compared to his best works. It's neither a vocal album nor a pure instrumental, a real pity and early mistake in production. Start elsewhere. Go straight to "Ambient 1: Music For Airports" or his other great album “Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks” . I didn't realise it was all so old though It still feels so current. I find a rare comfort in it, almost incomparable to anything around. Maybe the band AIR comes close. And Vangelis and JM Jarre are different too. Hans Zimmer has been maturing and broadening too. I love the architectural solidity and range in Eno's work. He creates a soundscape that feels bounded yet enormous, like an empty airport – enormous, safe, liminal space. This album is only a taster. The sensibility of a progressive intelligent trance composer is forming but yet to be perfected. If you liked closing your eyes and floating to some of this, go to his Ambient 1. Happy lucid dreaming and Happy Landings.

This is one of those auto five rating albums for me. It's an album I've loved for a long time, and I think anyone that appreciates interesting instrumentation and intelligent songwriting can enjoy it.

This record is great - Pre-Ambient & Pre-New Wave at the same time --- terrific!

Oh man I’m a really big FAN! It’s no Here Come the Warm Jets, Taking Tiger MTN or Before or after Science but it’s really super fantastic regardless IMHO! 11/10 all day ENO ILU

I really enjoy this style of music. It is very easy to listen to.

Near perfect

This one! I often see it on lists as inspiration and top of genres I like, but never really committed to listening to it! Definitely up there with A Wizard, a True Star, but more ambient. You can see where Eno's going. The Big Ship is basically pre-post rock. This inspired so many of my favorite albums.

album two sky saw: 4/5 over fire island: 3/5 st. elmo’s fire: 5/5 in dark trees: 3.5/5 the big ship: 4/5 i’ll come running: 5/5 another green world: 3/5 sombre reptiles: 4/5 little fishes: 3/5 golden hours: 4.5/5 becalmed: 3/5 zawinul/lava: 3/5 everything merges with the night: 4/5 spirits drifting: 3.5/5 i enjoyed this album way more than i thought it would. usually an album that includes a majority of instrumental songs would bore me, but that wasn’t the case here i think it works best to listen to the complete body of work rather than just listening to the individual songs (that’s why my ranking is so high compared to the song rankings)

9/10 not Brian Eno’s strongest project, but still some damn enjoyable prog-rock

Loved it a lot! Made me lissten to a lot more of his stuff which I also enjoyed.

Pure scrumtrulescence. I had no idea how much I'd like Brian Eno before 1001.

"Another Green World" is the third solo studio album by English musician, composer and producer Brian Eno. It marked a transition from his first two rock- based albums towards minimalist instrumentals of his late 70's ambient work. Only five of the fourteen songs have vocals. Eno used unconventional recording techniques and instrumental approaches. As with his previous albums, he employed a core of musicians including Robert Fripp (guitar), Phil Collins (drums), Percy Jones (fretless bass), Rod Melvin (piano) and John Cale (viola). Commercially, the album didn't do much but had and continues to have wide-spread critical acclaim. "Sky Saw" opens the album with bass, keyboards, drums and guitar slashes. This is very mechanical sounding and moves like a machine. The guitar then changes and sounds like his famous "snake" guitar. Layered vocals come in midway through. Piano and what sounds like a xylophone and gong open open "St. Elmo's Fire." We get that classic, spacey Fripp guitar. He's walking through St. Elmo's fire splitting ions into the ether. "I'll Come Running" is the most pop-sounding song on the album. Piano, bass, drums and percussion that sounds Caribbean. Another great Fripp guitar solo. One of my favorite Eno songs. He will come running to tie your shoes. "Golden Hours has keyboards, guitars, Cale's viola and "spasmodic" nervous sounding percussion. Layered vocals. "Be Calmed" has just a piano and dramatic background keyboards. An instrumental. Simple and beautiful. Eno uses that magnificent long, feedback guitar sound as he did in "Here Come The Warm Jets" in "Everything Merges with Night." A bass and that guitar sound. That is all that is needed. This is a compelling listen. The mix of songs is perfect. Top notch musicianship and creative use of instruments. Dramatic, ambient, simple at times. Each song could be listened to on their own but works within the album flow. Maybe, my favorite Eno. A must hear.

Prime example of an album being ahead of its time Love the contributions from Fripp and Cale too Favourite tracks: Over Fire Island, St. Elmo’s Fire, The Big Ship, I’ll Come Running, Another Green World, Golden Hours

I've regretted giving Here Come the Warm Jets a 4 initially for a while now, and while it is at a 4.5 now, it sitting on my 1001 Album profile in the 4 category hurts my soul. Luckily, this album comes in clutch to at least make me look like I have some intelligence. This album is gorgeous, with so many moments where just sitting back and letting the music swallow you will do wonders. I mean, this is 1975, yet it sounds light years ahead of even now. I can picture a whole film from the very music that pours from this album, and still enjoy it on an average drive to and from work. Those moments of contemplation from the instrumental tracks make the vocal tracks even more gorgeous, with Eno still showing he can write a banger of a pop diddy. I could see why one would find this boring if you were expecting something more exciting, but I urge you to let this record play whilst you are laying in bed in the dark, and let everything wash over you. You don't need drugs to feel transcendent, you need In Dark Trees and The Big Ship.

I am a very big Eno fan, from his work with Roxy Music to his latest ambient albums. Another Green World is a transitionary album, but it doesn't miss on either side of the fence, between more standard rock song structures to film score-esque interludes.

Wow this is easily the best album of the ones I haven't heard before yet. I've loved a lot of the people he's worked with. But never tried his solo stuff before. Easy 5 stars.

Ah, what a fantastic album. Love the ambient bits, love how dark and solitary it feels some of the times. Love the lyrics on it and the use of guitars. The first two songs do feel a bit out of place with their use of bass and drums and guitar. They feel more rock oriented but then the albums moved a bit into the ambient electronic path and progressively gets nostalgic and blue. I love it. It’s a strong 4 to a light 5 for me.

Oeh toffe album cover! Wow hele gave beetje ambient muziek 😍 Sommige nummers ook wel een beetje vaag en experimenteel (zoals little fishes) maar vind het wel leuk om naar te luisteren Ja dit album wil ik (al is het alleen al om de cover), would buy!!

This record is one I've been meaning to listen to for awhile. I'm the most familiar with Brian Eno via his Music for Airports ambient record and I wouldn't say I can immediately recall that record by tune either but it definitely puts me in a place for travelling. I'm not sure where this falls on his catalog being so prolific/legendary but I think it really kicks off with "St. Elmo's Fire" as it has really cool guitar and the vocal hook really fits. "The Big Ship" I am familiar with through films like Me, Earl and the Dying Girl as well as End of Tour. More of the ambient tracks on this grip me than the ones with vocals like the cool dark synths and percussion in "In Dark Trees" and "Sombre Reptiles" or the beautiful layers on "Another Green World" or "Becalmed" or "Zawinul/Lava." That being said, "i'll come running" and " everything merges with the night" have some good pink floyd song vibes. A good record overall by a very notable voice in music.

Love the opening track. St. Elmo's Fire and I'll come Running have amazing guitar playing from Robert Fripp. The title track was the theme for Arena! For me, this was the perfect balance of ambient and actual songs - will go into my rotation.

This topped Before and After Science easily, and I flipping loved that one. This was so good, so experimental but so well done and easy to take in on every factor.

Great Ambient. I think Eno just really knows how to lock in a soundscape tightly.

I love this one, its so comforting

An album that enters, makes a statement and then leaves quietly out of the backdoor…

One of my favorites from Eno. Expérimental, yet very accessible. I just love this.

This album got me into ambient. Now to me this isn’t ambient anymore. Still love the album.

Oh god I adore this album. Has to be my favourite Eno record I think, and so one of my favourite albums of all time. I have so much of it scattered across various playlists, as tracks stand so well on their own - however their true power is when listened to of a piece. I love it. There's some kinda angular music on here but I just find it all so beautiful and comforting. As well as the obviously beautiful and comfortable ambient tracks. Sky saw works so well, whatever instrument making that noise is, that's a saw. Fripp's work throughout this is outstanding. St Elmo's Fire and I'll come running are lovely. But the instrumentals kick me in the face, they are so perfect. The Big Ship, one of the most gorgeous things I've ever heard. The title track, and Becalmed, similar. Zawinul/Lava is low key magnificent. I didn't think I could listen to it today as my Mrs is having a major op today, but this is a uniquely calming record and so it's perhaps for best it came out today. After a long and stressful day, and finding out she was ok for the night, I came home and put this on again. At first I only had one speaker working, and everything sounded wrong. Some would take that as a negative, but for me it is excellent. this is such a headphones album I guess, and when focused on, the sound positively dances around between your ears and it is just magical. Got to say, Another Green World is basically the perfect album for the day I've just had.

Why had I not listened to this before?

A monumental classic. After listening to this I went and listened to Brian Eno for like 3 more hours (Whoops!) My man has released like 4+ hours of music in 2023 alone. Hardest working minimalist out there.

The experimentalism of this one was groundbreaking, and the music is great. Both the ambient songs and songs with vocals stand out, and they combine for a unique listening experience. I loved it, and it’s probably even better than Before And After Science, my other record from him.

I can’t be objective about this album. It’s one of my all time favorites. I love the dreamlike feel of it and I find new things in it every time I listen.

Fantastic from start to finish.

I adore Brian Eno. This albumb is drifting, beautiful and weird.

Yesss, Brian Eno, go OFF! Love this album so much. It’s the perfect mix of minimal ambient tracks and beautiful subtle melodies. He just knows how it’s done.

An excellent art pop, experimental album, which was way ahead of its time when it was released in the mid-1970s. It is between Eno's previously rock oriented music, and the ambient music he later made in the end of the 1970s, some of the songs already are very ambient-like. An excellent album. It's 4.5-4.75 for me but since it is so influental I'm giving it a 5.

Classic. This album really hits the high notes of Eno's earlier more rock-based stuff, while still integrating plenty of the more ambitious electronic/ambient material that I'm particularly fond of.

Some shitty stuff, some interesting stuff 3 Ok dis good Ok finally some good Brian Eno stuff. This is awesome I am not sure what to think of this one. So I'll give it a 5

This is a very interesting and pretty unique record, especially for 1975. It certainly sounds more recent than a nearly 50 year old album, that's for sure. All quite ambient and tranquil, occasionally getting a bit weird but never too much so. I'm really starting to love a lot of these old synth-laden pop and rock albums. Favourite: St. Elmo's Fire

Very enjoyable album. The vocals were surprising to me, for someone known for ambient soundscapes, but a lot of these songs are quite catchy and have a strong emotional component. I listened to it twice through and I'll be listening again for sure.

Eno has released many excellent records but I think this one is my favourite. It spans his more aggressive rock side eg the manic frenzy of Baby’s on Fire or Third uncle and his somnolent ambient masterpieces, eg Music for Airports. Don’t mistake the quieter songs for being simple, he packs incredible beauty in those simple sparse notes. For some reason Spotify didn’t play any other music when the album was a finished but just kept repeating it and before I knew it, I had listened to it three times. It never got boring and was the perfect background to a languid Sunday morning. I’ve always loved St Elmo’s fire, but I was reminded how great the Big Ship and Golden Hours are. This is simply a masterpiece.

Oh yeah, lovely! Part ambient, part art rock, all my kinda thing. Fave tracks - The opening run of "Sky Saw" -> "St. Elmo's Fire" -> "The Big Ship" with their ambient interludes is fantastic! Also "Becalmed" into "Zawinul/Lava" is properly dreamy...

I love Brian Eno so much. I listen to his stuff all the time on my own and I appreciate his acerbic point of view. It's groovy, interesting, well-recorded, and always seems to have a purpose. He makes art with sound and I've always appreciated that. He's not trying to write a hit, he's not writing an anthem, he's not writing something for radio, he's not writing music to listen to while you do other things. Sometimes he's not even trying to write a song. He's writing music for the same reason painters paint and sculptors sculpt and writers write; because he has something to say and art is the way he chooses to put those ideas into the world. I love Eno b/c what he has to say is always different than what anyone else has to say and it's always relevant to me and my experience in the world. This album is wonderful and weird and interesting and unlike just about anything else anyone had ever made to this point. It's singular to Eno in the early/mid 70's. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm totally into Eno's brew.

Such diverse sound! Such interesting synth and back in the 70's! Amazing! Five stars.

Odd and wonderful

Kind of amazing, actually. Timeless. Will add to my library.

Замечательная минималистичная электронщина, в которую идеально время от времени вживляются живые инструменты. Брайан Ино действительно опередил время с этим альбомом, ведь он предугадал звук почти что каждой второй инди-бедрум-поп группы нашего времени аж за 50 лет до появления таких групп. Хоть и начинается это произведение довольно бодро, большая его часть спокойная и умиротворённая. Меланхоличные тексты идеально переплетаются с ненавязчивыми мотивами и спокойными мелодиями, голос Брайана максимально расслаблен, что только сильнее подчёркивает по-простому добрую атмосферу этого альбома. Музыкальный эквивалент чашки зелёного чая. (9)

5.0 + This album retains Eno's abstruse sensibilities but with pop flourishes to make it probably the best entry point into his incredible catalog. Every song is a beautifully conceived composition such that it's hard to pinpoint any standouts. But my pulse always quickens when I hear the atmospheric dirge of "In Dark Trees" and the sweet chorus of "I'll Come Running" followed by the strange guitar/synth solo. Such an immersive and layered listen filled with ear candy.

Clear influence on some of my favorite electronic/instrumental stuff: RATTATAT and Postal Service, etc.

I love Brian Eno and this is a brilliant record. Its bold and so packed with interesting ideas it can barely contain them all. You could accuse it of maybe jumping around a bit too much but I think that's part of what give it its charm. This is Brian Eno taking his influences and inventing modern ambient music before your very ears. My two standout tracks are The Big ship, an incredible though provoking swell of sawtooth synths and galloping drums. The Big Ship also contains some guitar work which is shockingly prescient of what would become post rock decades later. Second is Becalmed which would have sounded equally at home on his later Ambient works or indeed an underworld album from the 90's. Not my ultimate favourite Eno work but to say that on about an album which is this incredibly shows you how brilliant Eno's career is.

bello figo

Micidiale, bello. sonorità anni 70 rock (pink floyd) e pop odierno (pur essendo '75!)

I listened to this album recently and it is damn near perfect. One of my favorite Eno projects ever.

This album represents a transition period in Brian Eno’s career at the crossroads between his earlier rock music and later ambient and experimental music. The result is one of the most important and influentials albums of the 1970s. This album uses quite a bit of repeating patterns and slowly builds on that. The use of electronic sounds is never intrusive and does not take date the album. The result is something that is absurdly beautiful and groundbreaking. I loved every second of it.

I love this. Love it.

As perfect as an album could get in my eyes without (good) vocals. Every track is just pure genius, reminding of so many of my favorite artists (Joy Division, PJ Harvey) if they were even more attentive to each note of music. You could hear pop structures if you actually compare it to real works, such as "Golden Hours" with Q Lazzarus "Goodbye Horses." This is the definition of art rock, like walking through an art exhibition. Each song paints a different environment and places you in a unique setting, and yet each one is peaceful or at the very least introspective if you're the anxious "In Dark Trees." You're never overwhelmed or carried by intense emotions, though songs do get fairly close with their beauty. This is achieved by Eno's careful use of space and minimal instrumentation, serving as a forerunner toward his ambient work. It feels like a rollercoaster you can barely handle as long as you don't close your eyes. For the novel listeners, there are a few pop songs dispersed to help audiences become familiar with his style and approach. With perfect track transitions, it only takes a few listens to appreciate at least most of the tracks. One of my favorite things about this album is that 7 of the first 9 tracks don't even run longer than about 3 minutes, and those other 2 tracks are the opener (excusable as we use it to gauge the album) and the catchiest track "I'll Come Running", so audiences wouldn't mind those. What we get instead is a slideshow of Eno's different ideas before we reach his more intricate, refined works near the end, starting with the masterpiece "Golden Hours." Favorites: St Elmo's Fire, The Big Ship, Another Green World, Little Fishes, Golden Hours, Zawinul Lava, Spirits Drifting

Always loved this. Experimental and accessible. Half way between his rock and ambient phase. Fripps guitar is astonishing. Brilliant. 5

Lovely. An example of Eno's genius that still sounds fresh.

Feels like everything Eno touches for me is an absolute fucking banger. Loved this one.

Still great

Literally got this album generated today while sitting in bed- with my giant “Another Green World” poster hanging on the wall right next to me. Yeah this albums amazing, long live Brian Eno and his experiments with textures in sound. Easy 5 Stars

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. It's a solid Eno album from start to finish with lots of guest stars like Robert Fripp, John Cale, Phil Collins, Percy Jones, et al. Simple rhythms and rhymes set to infectious instrumentals.

One of music's great injustices is that Eno is best known for his work on other people's albums. This is at least as good as the Bowie Berlin albums that came in the next couple of years get all the column inches, and probably better. It's more coherent as an overall collection of songs and a lot denser sounding and textured, more polished, and I say that as a massive massive Bowie fan. Admittedly, he doesn't have the greatest voice but maybe if Eno had had better hair, it could have all been different.

The ribbon of melancholy that runs through this is quite addictive.

FIVE STARS An all-time classic. As is usually the case with those five-stars albums, I won't write a full-blown review about this particular record, because others have already written wonderful stuff about it and there's not much I can add that I feel could be relevant and interesting. It's just a gem. Go and listen to it a.s.a.p. [Number of albums left to review or just listen to: 981 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 9 (including this one) Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 6 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (as I think many others are more important): 4 Albums I might not be able to judge (some might end up on my final list if they're culturally important): 1]

One of my favs

Yummmmm Brian Eno just what I needed today, also a really old album which I haven't listened to either ever in full or in a long time. So interesting to think of this being released in the 70s and how it would have been received. Right now I'm receiving it extremely well, exciting unique sounds and innovative creation methods for its day. Well done Brian, 5 stars!

I love Brian Eno, and it was good to hear this album again after a long time. He blows me away with his varied material, this was just that!

I'm thrilled by the number of Brian Eno albums I've been getting on here to review. He’s one of my favorite artists and I am fascinated with his music, no matter how often I hear it. This is undoubtedly the best album Eno created in that first group of albums he released in the 1970s, possibly his best one period. It’s really the launching point into more of a minimalist style of music for him and the beginning of his departure from rock music. I listen to it frequently and it never fails to move me. For any other artist, this album would be the masterpiece, but Eno’s just getting started here. The album is challenging in subtle ways, but absolutely accessible for those with an interest who are just getting into this kind of music. This is probably the album I would recommend for a new listener to Eno. For all of his creative dalliances over the years and tinkering with noise, there is an inherent prettiness to Eno’s approach on Another Green World. It's just simply lovely to listen to. The songs are all economical in composition, nothing over 4 minutes and the majority of them without vocals. The arrangements are quite simple and subtle, but with an incredibly rich and textured use of instruments and sounds. You can listen to them over and over and you’ll continue to notice new touches you hadn’t heard before. As usual, Eno brings together a murderer's row of talented musicians to this work, continuing his work with the brilliant Robert Fripp on guitar and Phil Collins on Drums. I absolutely love John Cale's contributions on viola. A lot of rock artists bring in strings here and there to their work, but Cale is always a next level collaborator in that regard, particularly on "Sky Saw." Cale and Fripp together on “Golden Hours” are a delight. On almost half of the songs, Eno is the only musician credited, working adeptly with a variety of instruments, from guitar and bass to synthesizer. His use of synthetic percussion on songs like “In Dark Trees” and “Sombre Reptiles” is really terrific and brings to mind future sounds utilized by Talking Heads (go check out “Listening Wind” after hearing this). His use of synthesizers in general is emotionally compelling and a pleasure to hear. Lyrically, Eno starts out with a joke in “Sky Saw,” suggesting that no one gets his lyrics anyway. But overall, when he does sing on this album, the lyrics are softer than on previous works, more poetic and more contemplative. The line I love is “I’ll come running to tie your shoes.” It's so intimate and sweet, a completely unexpected lyric from Eno. What a gem, all of it. Fave Songs (All songs from most to least favorite): Golden Hours, Everything Merges with the Night, I'll Come Running, St. Elmo's Fire, Sky Saw, Becalmed, The Big Ship, Sombre Reptiles, In Dark Trees, Another Green World, Little Fishes, Spirits Drifting, Over Fire Island, Zawinul/Lava

We talked about this at dinner before seeing the Stones. I love this record. I own it. And I have unsuccessfully sought reproduction prints of the cover art, which is by Tom Phillips. Eno's previous two records is also great but the fretless bass factors more prominently here. The prior two records feel much more guitar and synth based. I listen to Eno's music because it's interesting to think about how the sounds I hear factor into his production efforts for bands I love like Bowie, Talking Heads, U2, etc. But at this point, the songs were actually song like. Not long after this record, they just become soundscapes. Which is also cool. But they definitely don't grab you like this one does.

I like this a lot. Reminds me of Bowie’s Low, for obvious reasons, but not quite as dark. I can definitely hear the influence on a lot of indie rock here

Some crazy cool stuff here. Very strange but very nice

Sort of record one would toot a barb to Decadent barbiturate of an evening Bald eunuch

If I could take with me only one recording Brian Eno had a hand in creating throughout his accomplished career, this would be the one. There's something entirely entrancing and transporting about this record. I feel like it represents so much more than the album itself, but a steadfast belief in the process of making music. I'm always inspired and calmed by this record. It's been too long since I've revisited it, but those days will be behind me for quite some time. Listening through this with fresh ears, I'm struck by just how influential this record may be in so many realms of music from electronic/ambient to shoegaze and even the aesthetics of some hip hop. Favourite song: I think The Big Ship takes it this time around, but if you ask me another day, my answer would be different.

Me ha parecido la hostia. No tanto las canciones o la voz, sino todo lo que lo envuelve. Hay sonidos, ambientes maravillosos, todo ejecutado con una elegancia tremenda salvo algunos puntos que chirrían. Aun así, sobresaliente.

Ich vermute, dieses Album schon immer durch all jene davon inspiriert geblaubte Musiker (Sandro Perri, Eric Chenaux, Electrelane, Future Islands, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, ...) quer-geliebt, jedoch zur falschen Zeit probiert zu haben. Satter Bedroom Sound, warm knarzend, verträumt pluckernd und mit ordentlichem Dada-Gestus entsteht ein Anti-Pop, der in seiner Schrägheit völlig leicht und zugänglich ist, also poppig. Verzauberte 4.6

Brian Eno! 😭 Have spent endless nights listening to Brian Eno and Harold Budd.

I'm a big fan of Brian Eno. Trail blazer of ambient sound

By 1975, Brian Eno had crafted his own planet with a select few that could fit in effortlessly in regards to how he wanted them to. Another Green World, while continuing on with the song based records prior, marked a transition into something else that has not ceased being. It marked the moment where Brian Eno became less glam god, more rock shaman. Another Green World has been, for the last half century, the nucleus of all that was or is pertaining to Eno in ways that have had a ripple effect. This is, amongst other things, the pinnacle of what's been labeled art rock; it may have been improved upon or reinvented afterwards but this is the definition of it.

I found myself enjoying this very much. I was waiting for a long time to listen to this and was worth it. Experimental and uncompromising, great listen.

This is Eno in transition from conventional glam to the more abstract heights he'd reach later, which explains the lack of coherence. He's still writing a few (wonderful) pop songs ("Everything Merges with the Night," "I'll Come Running") and is clearly not ready to give that up entirely, and yet the bulk of his attention is on the more freeform instrumentals that make up most of this album. As to the latter he feels oddly tentative - or I guess maybe it's not so odd, but the tracks mostly pass by too quickly to register as anything other than ephemeral. And again, maybe that's the point (he is a capital-A Artist, after all) but I found myself sometimes frustrated rather than wistful at the temporary nature of reality or whatever. That said, everyone playing on this is first-rate (especially Robert Fripp and Percy Jones) and the enormous influence it's had on multiple genres is obvious. This is really a 3.75, rounding up.

Þessi þykir mesta tímamótaverkið, en af fyrstu fjórum plötum Eno finnst mér þessi síst. Hún er samt flott og ég enda í fjarka.

Not a good album to work to, because it needs attention to truly appreciate. The music is beautiful, and it's not all pseudo-poppy. There are a couple of tracks that remind me of Music For Airports. All in all, decent for lo-fi electronica. I don't know if that's what he was going for. My rating: 4/5

This is awesome, man. I love Brian Eno. Goated ambient songs, just so good. Hard to believe it's from 1975. Easy four stars for me.

The vibiest of vibey albums. Love it so much. Can't believe it's 1975.

Influences to other groups abound! Devo here, Pink Floyd there. Bowie feels, Peter Gabriel too.

Weird

I generally prefer his ambient stuff and I find that true here. Still very good.

Turns out I quite like Brian Eno. Who knew?

Accessible ambient, a wonderful calming world.

Good album. Mostly instrumental. Sounds like David Bowie’s late 70’s albums that he did with Brian Eno. Enjoyed it.

I like it. It's very pretty. You're not getting anything clever from me today.

Good prog rock with some interesting features.

This album was way ahead of its time. I can hear sounds that definitely influenced NIN and other industrial electronic artists of subsequent decades.

i really like 'golden hours'

It’s 2026. People are losing their minds over Angine de Poitrine. Little do they know, good music that is just weird noises arranged in a melodic way has existed for a very long time.

Some highs and some snores.

OK "The Big Ship" has NO RIGHT being that good

Fantastic album. I wasn’t familiar with Eno’s work from this era. This will be added to my regular rotation for background and ambient music.

4.5

Sort of reminds me of what I like about Animal Collective and Panda Bear. Building on sounds on an interesting way, with some funny details throughout. Wild he was making this sort of thing while everyone was rocking out.

Pleasant and relaxing with strange sounds that become familiar as it incorporates more and more new sounds, very interesting

I hadn't heard the album before. The Wikipedia article about it really raised my expectations. Unfortunately, the album didn't live up to them. It was pretty good, but not so captivating that I absolutely have to listen to it again. 4/5

Mostly easy listening and good background music. A couple of the vocal tracks caught my attention tho. Solid album

никогда особо плотно не погружался в творчество брайана ино, хотя его личность регулярно мелькает много где, послушал альбом - понравилось, пошел слушать другие альбомы, а тут хорошая 4ка. upd. apollo не понравился

This list decided to feed me this album mid-vacation in Hawaii. Being just over halfway thru this list by now, and thus knowing full well the musical experience Brian Eno's music provides, I opted to save it for halfway through the second plane ride home, when the instrumental-ish music would fully encapsulate my delirious half-awake/half-asleep state of being. Safe to say I don't remember a lick of what I listened to, but it did the job.

3.5/5 Favorite Songs: St. Elmos Fire I'll Come Running Golden Hours Spirits Drifting

Sounds like MagFields 4

Trippy

This was different than I expected, and repeatedly different than I expected. Great sounding, distinctive, and never dull. Fantastic guitar work from Robert Fripp. It's definitely a singular record, not totally sure it's one I'd put on a list of recommendations for anyone, but I like it. 4/5

A real mixed bag, but a fun one.

Classic Brian Eno soundscapes and wobbly rock guitars. The Big Ship is stunning, and one of his best compositions. This album includes some of his stronger solo work, and for me is one of his better collections of songs.

The instrumental tracks are great, the vocal ones not so much.

Very interesting sonically. Not sure I’d go back to it but a very good album

Lastig album om te reviewen, moet hiervoor in een bepaalde headspace zijn en dat ben ik nu niet. Maar dat terzijde is het wel gewoon een kwalitatief giga goed album

Absolutely lovely. Never heard anything other than the Titale track. His voice lacks the atmosphere that the rest of the music delivers. One of the finds of 1001 albums.

A fun and fascinating album of experimental rock that moves into beautiful ambient music at the end. This is rich, dense music that is also light on its feet. It’s bold and strange but pleasant and accessible. The arrangements are complex but never feel overstuffed. More than once I felt like I was hearing something genuinely new.

Albums like 'Another Green World' are why I love this project. I've never heard of this Brian Eno project, and this record is such a vibe. I kinda loved it. It'll go into my regular rotation.

Heard this before, not my usual thing but still a classic

Відразу дисклеймер: цей чортяка гірше за RATM. У тих там відбиток викривленого лівого політичного компаса, а цей походу просто притрушений а-ля Уотерс. Не можу сказати, що колись багато слухав Ено. Раніше це було для мене занадто вичурно та завигадливо, а потім якось руки не доходили. Добре зпродюсований, цікавий баланс між доступністю та експериментальністю. Є також фірмовий ембієнт. Якби автор не був галімим чортом, то можна було б детальніше послухати, порозбиратися в ньому. А так не буду.

Listen to this on a good system. Some hard skips for sure (anytime he sings) but some very cool production.

A mix of Art Rock and Ambient. A must for Brian Eno fans.

Love me some Eno. This one sits between his rock roots and his better known ambient sounds, but still has the chill vibe. Perfect for sitting around Sunday morning.

Eno's best album probably. Not fully an Ambient record but not really rock and roll either. Definitely was nice to revisit this one.

This was great fun and it reminded me of Iggy pop at parts. Really good study music, will be revisiting. I will say that it got kind of repetitive at the end.

There's something that's not only calming but soothing about this album in a way that I wouldn't normally associate with electronic music. However, I would say that there's a slightly disjointed feeling between the songs like they don't all quite fit together but well exceeded my initial expectations of 'boringness'.

Weird and wonderful, Eno to a tee. That perfect moment between Roxy Music and getting really conceptually ambient Beautiful artwork too

Absolutely goated when it comes to putting this on in the background to crank out some work. I was so efficient I planned and got resources together for my next two weeks of teaching in two hours today. Might come back to this one again, I feel like I liked this one more than our earlier Brian Eno album. Side note: I wish Phil Collins sang on this album.

4.5/5. An album I’ve heard before, but I didn’t actually know how stacked the lineup on here is. Robert Fripp does some guitar work, Phil Collin’s some drum work among other guests. And this albums got that freewheeling sense of fun experimentation/exploration that Berlin era Bowie has (which tracks since those albums were produced by Eno.) a great time and glad I got to revisit it here.

more workings from innovative musician brian eno. this album is the start of his shift from rock to more ambient, experimental works. and it's very much like that, especially with his dabbling into early samplers and drum machines. it sounds like you're in an elevator that's infinitely going up and you don't know where you're headed. it has a specific sound that unfortunately doesn't get me as obsessed when compared to other works of eno... but it's very interesting hearing some of the equipment he's dabbling in. this is a gem where if it hits right, you'll be obsessed with it.

I confess that I knew nothing of Brian Eno’s work before this morning. Sure, I’ve heard his name mentioned countless times over the years, but I’ve never once felt compelled to listen to his music - and if I had, it’s highly unlikely I would have picked 1975 as my entry point. This album is weird. Not in an unapproachable way, but in a slightly disorienting “out of its own time” kind of way. Parts of it feel very much like late 60’s post-Beatles psychedelia, and other parts - the electronic elements - feels very advanced for 1975. Without looking, I might house this loosely under the ‘prog rock’ umbrella when describing it to other Eno newbies. The combination doesn’t feel forced or overly complicated, it just feels like a natural evolution of the psychedelic sound - if The Beatles kept making music together past 1969, I think we could have gotten a few tracks similar to “I’ll Come Running” or “Golden Hours”. Still, the instrumental tracks feel new and freshly experimental; Eno is making his own art and not just channeling influences. Confession #2 - I’ve recently watched The Beatles Anthology and I’m in the process of watching Get Back (2021) so I am DEEP into Beatle lore at the moment, which no doubt has colored this review.

Very experimental for the time period. Pretty interesting listen.

Very good ambient album but I find this slightly overrated within the ambient sphere, I find plenty other albums much better though this for sure has some solid stuff

Great album, as ambient music goes. Not really my kind of thing, but you can tell it’s done really well.

A really good album, I liked In Dark Trees, The Big Ship, Sombre Reptiles and Golden Hours the most.

Very good album quite to listen to. ‘In the dark woods’, ‘Sky Saw’ the Title Track and ‘Golden Hours’ were standout tracks for me. I will write a compare dive review elsewhere. :D - GEMV (10-11.02.2026)

Great mix of ‘conventional’ rock and more ambient experimental stuff

Surprise banger of an album

Brand new for me, and glad to have discovered this. It inspired me to immediately listened to Dennis Wilson's Pacific Island Blue, same vibe.

It's very artsy, atmospheric rock music with diverse, vivid instrumentation. The songs have this organic vibe that I appreciate a lot. The quality ranges from pretty good to some of the best shit you've ever heard - especially St Elmo's Fire with that amazing chorus. It's a really good album, even if not always super stunning. Also, what a pretty cover!

De Eno poco más se puede hablar. Es una figura esencial, por su papel en Roxy Music, por su colaboración con Bowie en laTrilogía de Berlín (sus tres álbumes entre 1977 y 1978), por su papel con Talking heads, con los últimos U2 que merecieron la pena de verdad... Fue el compositor del archivo de sonido de inicio de sesión de Windows 95. metodología creativa de las cartas Oblique Strategies Before and After Science es otro de sus mejores discos, como el innvador uso del sampling en My Life in the Bush of Ghosts con Byrne Another Green World es un clásico,es corto de por sí, pero se hace aún más corto debido a su fuerza y bellezas, las letras son estilo de asociación libre. Abre con Sky Saw, con Phil Collins en la batería y John Cale con la viola. Collins repite como baterista en el siguiente tema, ya instrumental, titulado ‘Over Fire Island’ , más logrado que el anterior. St. Elmos´s fire ya logra despegar, más próximo a la música de su debut (también aquí merecidamente en la lista) que a los pasajes ambientales del inicio del álbum. La guitarra sorprende con un sonido acelerado y sintetizado. In dark trees vuelve a los sonidos instrumentales de bandas sonoras imaginarias. The big ship. lúgubre y solemne, reluce como uno de los mejores temas del álbum. St . Elmo´s fire con Robert Fripp y un magistral solo de guitarra. I'll Come Running, alegre y en cierto sentido juguetón. Cualquier grupo de la movida madrileña se lo sabe de memoria. Donde se nota más la viola de Cale, marcando el ritmo, es en la balada ‘Golden Hours’, ayudando a crear un entramado instrumental que le sirvió como inspiración treinta años después a Coldplay para mezclarlo con una melodía de Joe Satriani y darle gato por liebre a millones de personas con la pegadiza ‘Viva La Vida’. Sombre reptiles y sobre todo Little Fishes son un masaje auditivo. Golden hours nos remite al Viva la vida.. Becalmed es otro oasis de relax Everything Merges with the Night es otro tema con desarrollo vocal, Spirits Drifting es un cierre onírico

I really enjoyed this album. Good music. Great experimentation

8/10

brian. eno!

3.5/5

Na

This was pretty relaxing

Extremely creative and well produced. A very relaxing listening experience that I could see myself returning to. Already knew the song I'll Come Running, and the rest was very pleasant. Super cool to hear Phil Collins and Robert Fripp contribute on this record as well, among others.

Haunting and weird and so interesting

Another Green World will be my fourth Brian Eno solo album to review, leaving his David Byrne collaboration as my last of his works to listen to. I’d never listened to any of Brian Eno’s solo music before starting this project, but I’d heard some of his work with Roxy music, and some of the albums he produced for Talking Heads and U2. I’ve enjoyed getting to know his work a bit better, and I’m really intrigued to listen to this album in particular. I didn’t enjoy Another Green World as much as I enjoyed Before and After Science, but I thought it was a really good album. I really enjoyed the way Eno blended ambient techniques with traditional rock and pop sounds. The result was an album full of lush soundscapes, beautiful melodies, and interesting techniques to craft some really fun sounds. Eno did a wonderful job on this album creating settings and moods with just music. I really enjoyed how certain parts of the arrangements would loop, while other elements would be crafted with less rigidity, creating a really interesting contrast between structure and freedom. At times, this album reminded me of Yeasayer, Pet Sounds, and the Drive soundtrack. It’s hard to imagine some of my favorite music from the eighties and 2010’s existing without Eno’s work here and later on in his career. Listening to this album, I can understand why MGMT had a song about Brian Eno on their album Congratulations. The only drawback of this album was that I thought the second half was noticeable weaker than the first half. A handful of songs on the second half of the album were pretty boring to me, and some of them, like “Little Fishes” just didn’t sound great, and took away from the overall beauty of the album. Other than those few songs though, I really enjoyed this album. Some notes on the individual songs: I really liked how “Sky Saw” sounded like a saw; the guitar felt like it cut through the main melody looped melody. I don’t know if I’m trying to force this song’s title to have meaning, or if that was intentional, but I choose to believe the latter. I really liked the overall way the music was constructed though. It was aggressive in a way, but also had the markings of ambient music. “St. Elmo’s Fire” was really my jam. It reminded me of Yeasayer songs that I love. It’s a beautiful song, and I loved the piano and organ playing. The percussion was great too, and it complimented the main melody really well. “In Dark Trees” reminded me of the Drive soundtrack. I loved how haunting the melody was, and the guitars and synths really created an awesome sense of dread and a dark environment. “The Big Ship” was really beautiful, and I loved that gentle synthesizer melody that slowly kicked in and evolved over the course of the song. “Sombre Reptiles” had a reptilian feel to it, like how “Sky Saw” had a saw-like sound to it. There was something sidewinder-esque about the sound here, mostly in the rhythms and percussion. Again, maybe I’m trying to force meaning into a place where it doesn’t belong, but I choose to believe this was intentional. While I didn’t think this was a five-star album, I really enjoyed listening to it, and it’s definitely worthy of being on this list for how innovative it was. It’s been very illuminating to listen to Brian Eno’s work, and this album was no exception.

Brian Eno is a thoughtful person. On the surface, electronic music feels it should be the furthest from human emotion - in this case, it is surely the opposite.

Yeah, cool midpoint between just post Roxy and his later work. Had heard a couple of tracks from it before and I liked it.

Before this album, I was only really familiar with Eno through his work with the Talking Heads, and before them his collaboration with Robert Fripp on the 1973 ambient album "No Pussyfooting". That ambient album with Fripp, in particular, has it's footprints all over this album, but now in a more tightly written art pop/rock sound. The session musician work is a treat, especially the bass guitar of Percy Jones, and Robert Fripp contributing guitar on a couple songs in his signature fuzzy, high sustain tone. 8/10

I’ve been pretty mid on Eno thus far here but this one is great! Goes down reeeeeallll easy, mostly gentle, nice instrumental music and a couple catchy songs. Very listenable.

Always

I actually quite liked it. Didn't really know what to expect from it. It felt like a film soundtrack at times. Felt a bit like Holdovers maybe. Didn't really like it near the start but it started to grow on me as I listened. Ended up listening to it again straight after. Good album.

Nothing special, but great production, some banger tracks and solid ambient stuff

Precursor to ambient music. Cool stuff.

relisten at the end to decide if 4 or 5

This was actually a solid listen. Not mad about Brian’s voice but what can you do.

Love the artwork on a side note. Peaceful listening although probably not his best

Mostly calm, quite experimental, quite good.

Some lovely pieces and some quirky songs. The track “Another Green World” or “the theme tune to Arena” is amazing though. I’ll come back to this one. Hap Eno Year!

Beautiful album.

Only heard of Brian Eno before this because of the MGMT song but didn’t realize he invented ambient music until this album and reading the Apple Music summary. I thought it was nice and was impressed that it’s from the mid 70’s. It wasn’t until I listened while driving and looking at the sky in the setting sun. Really cool feeling. 4 stars. Added songs and will come back to this album for sure.

Pretty good.

Pretty fun and light most of the way. It’s a mix of some pop songs and then Eno experimenting on the others. It creates a comforting palette that I’m sure I’ll want to return to in the future. Rating: 3.8

9/10 super trippy album

I liked it, but I can see why he stopped doing vocals

Cool sounds. Would Relisten again.

Great vibes. Feel like I’m in a movie. Listening while walking down beach boardwalk.

I've listened to this before and liked it. In Dark Trees and Sombre Reptiles were my favorite tracks.

Some really cool instrumentals occasionally interrupted by slightly boring vocals. I don't think I gave this one enough time for a thorough review but I enjoyed it enough for a 4. Worth a revisit.

Okay I was really not into this when I started it, then came back to it a few days later and totally different experience. Didn’t want it to end. Intrigued by whaat else this guy does

3.6 It's quite enjoyable, but I can't see myself coming back to it. Interesting hearing his solo stuff from around the time he was then producing Bowie & Iggy with this flavour of music in mind. Pleasant, but certainly not earth shattering.

I haven’t historically enjoyed Brian Eno but I feel like I really grasped the story he was trying to tell with the music here. Didn’t hate it.

Eno er snillingur.

Made me want to listen to some Bowie

Another Eno, more evidence of creativity in abundance.

Really cool

Experimental/art rock/pop. Interesting instrument choices and fx. Early use of synths, but in a more naturalistic, less robotic context than Kraftwerk. Many instrumental/atmospheric pieces. Some tracks (The Big Ship) has Mike Oldfield vibes. It's actually quite a nice album to let wash over you. Best track - In Dark Trees, The Big Ship, Golden Hours 4 stars, it grows on you

This was highly influential album for the creation of Bowie's "Berlin period" albums, which of course Eno co-created and it kind of created the format of an album half pop songs and half instumental/ambient tracks. Brian Eno is not the best singer in the world, but his singing style kind of suites this quite academic style of song writing. Plus, it's always a pleasure to listen to Robert Fripp's avantgardist guitar playing.

I quite liked this album. I wasn't expecting to, but there you go! It was weird but in a good way.

Great for falling asleep. Apparently I’ve hear stuff from this guy before but I’ll listen more from now on.

Great tunes for concentrating.

A solid, but not spectacular Eno album. The man's done a lot of good stuff.

Eclectic And different quite instrumental I enjoyed it

I feel like this album achieved everything it sets out to, and was really enjoyable during.

More classic eno

Didn’t like this at first but grew into it. Sounds surprisingly modern. One criticism is that this album feels like lots of ideas each of which had potential to be developed further but aren’t. St Elmo’s fire is the standout.

Eno does it again, and he does it every time too

This is experimental probably to a fault but there's a lot of interesting soundwork going on here. This is pretty much a masterpiece at what it's going for, but it also should rightly be poked fun at for being so conceptual and exploratory. I like listening to this and anyone who doesn't is justified. It's well done.

Pleasant relaxing music. Great if you are in the mood

Liked it. Some sick experimentation going on with creating some of these sounds. Also some tracks becoming more ambient, foreshadowing Eno's shift(or creation) of that genre

Strong

hell yeah dude

Forward thinking, bold, and full of wonderful ideas, this album stands out as a landmark in Eno's incredible solo career

Not sure what I was expecting, but some really cool songs here. It must have sounded wild when it first came out--it feels a decade too early. You can sense the seeds of Talking Heads (obvs), but also Robyn Hitchcock and Radiohead at times. Probably a 3.5 for me but bumping.
