Another Green World

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.

I gave this 3 listens. I liked bits here and there, but I just couldn't sink my teeth in. Seems fine. Sonically it sounded fine. Could be tightened up as an album. I'd be willing to try again some day.

Pleasant relaxing music. Great if you are in the mood

An album

Not good at all

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

I love “St. Elmo’s Fire.” Discovered it during the pandemic and have loved the song since. Album flows like a quiet river.

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

Couldn't really get into it. I liked the more heavily instrumental pieces (The Big Ship and Becalmed).

The album split me. I’ll coming running was #1

hell yeah dude

With Another Green World, Brian Eno pivots from the glam-rock eccentricities of his Roxy Music days into something far stranger and more forward-looking: a blend of ambient soundscapes, quirky pop, and experimental funk that still feels ahead of its time. The record drifts between eerie, cinematic instrumentals like the suspense-filled “In Dark Trees” and left-field pop gems such as the jaunty, piano-driven “I’ll Come Running,” while opener “Sky Saw” layers a warped funk groove over unsettling textures. It’s not the kind of album that demands repeat listens so much as it dares you to rethink what rock, pop, and electronic music could become.

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

More proggy stuff. Never heard of this guy but a cool little record. One song totally reminded me of the guy who had a record on this list that sang chicken bones. I liked this. Interesting.

Strange product of those times.

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.

Brian Eno is just that guy. Some other review said the vocals remind them of John Grant and yeah I see it. Great soundscapes and atmosphere with some vocal tracks mixed in. Phil Collins is here too? Fantastic album cover as well. Favorites were St Elmo’s Fire, The Big Ship, I’ll Come Running, and Golden Hours.

Really enjoyed this, possibly the most accessible of his solo work I have listened to to date. Will circle back.

I enjoy both ambient and art rock and am obviously familiar with Brian Eno, so I thought this was a fitting first choice considering I hadn’t yet heard this album of his yet. There’s a lot of sounds here and it goes in many different directions. I was thrown off by the first track, but the album settled in nicely and offered an entertaining journey of rock and ambient sounds intertwined.

01) Sky Saw - 6,0 02) Over Fire Island - 5,5 03) St. Elmo's Fire - 7,0 04) In Dark Trees - 6,0 05) The Big Ship - 5,5 06) I'll Come Running - 6,0 07) Another Green World - 5,0 08) Sombre Reptiles - 5,5 09) Little Fishes - 5,0 10) Golden Hours - 6,5 11) Becalmed - 5,5 12) Zawinul/Lava - 5,0 13) Everything Merges with the Night - 6,0 14) Spirits Drifting - 5,0 TOTAL: 5,68 (57/100) Current ranking: 571/682

This is probably the better of the albums on the list. The vocals by Eno were... okay. The whole Oblique Strategies idea reminds me of Fripp and his aphorisms. I find it an interesting idea, but when bands use it, it sounds kinda pretentious. But that's are for you, I guess. It makes sense, you get blocked and you need to try something new. And sometimes you are at a loss for ideas. So, have the fates decide. It just seems odd to let your art be decided for you so randomly. The band that Eno put together for this album is a prog-lover's wet dream: Fripp, Collins, Percy Jones, John Cale. But if the music isn't anything, all the proggers in the world won't be able to help. I find it interesting how Fripp's laser-like guitar changes the mood of the songs. Any other guitarist would be all "ROCK AND ROLL" and it would just not sound as alien as it does. Listening to the vocals, it's obvious that Eno is not known for his lyrics. ("I'll come running to tie your shoes," indeed). "Little Fishes"... I think of Radiohead's "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi" when I hear it. I'll probably come back to this again. I know a number of publications called it one of the best albums of all time, and I am not sure about that. But it is definitely a 70s album. Top tracks: "St. Elmo's Fire," "Another Green World," "In Dark trees"

I'm assuming this is the last album I get by Brian Eno, as I've got about 5 more albums to rate before I finish this list and there's only one album unrevealed. So, to be clear, I like ambient Brian Eno. Ambient 1/Music for Airports is amazing. Side two (the ambient side) of Before and After Science is awesome (though I also like the poppier side one). Here he's moving toward ambient sounds but he's still in experimental weird. And I feel a bit indifferent. St Elmo's Fire (not ambient) is kind of fun and the guitarwork is pretty slick. Of the other non-ambient songs, Sky Saw is funky but gets to be a bit much and the singing or lyrics in I'll Come Running and Golden Hours kind of ruin it. Of the ambient ones, In Dark Trees was really good (like a horror movie), though my wife hated it - on my second go through she asked incredulously if I was still listening to that music. The Big Ship was ok - started off slow but finished strong. The title track and Sombre Reptiles were also decent. I thought he had two awesome ambient songs toward the end with Becalmed and Zawinul/Lava. Like I said, good but a bit up and down and not all the way to a style of his I like. Closing in on 3.5 but I don't feel like it's a 4 for me.

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.

Wie viel Brian Eno kommt noch? Das klingt zu sehr nach Talking Heads, aber eher ihre nervigen Sachen. Nicht so meins.

I feel I had more of a connection with Eno's earlier work, and this ambient music, well it does what it says, and it slips away into the background. I enjoyed this album the first time playing it, but the second spin didn't do much for me, enough to drop it to 3 stars. Strangely, the song about shoelaces became annoying, as it stood out above the crowd and wasn't ambient enough to fit in.

88/1001 :: Brian Eno - Another Green World Heard before? :x: Would I revisit? :x: Rating: 6 Listen before you die: Yes In Brian Eno fashion this album was a little bizarre. Bizarre but also very cool. Production was immaculate and a lot of the songs were interesting/good. You could hear these influences show up in Bowie’s work and beyond. So while it was cool to hear all these things it also felt a little empty at times. So, I’m not sure there was enough for me here to go back.

91/1001 Brian Eno - Another Green World Heard before? ❎ Revisit? ❓ Everything works together in this cold, experimental sounding record, however I would have preferred just to have experienced a soundscape and no lyrics, as this is where I find the most interest. The production on this is excellent as well.

Good

Atmospheric, immersive production, playful bass. Listenable and vibey but not emotionally stimulating Stand out tracks: St Elmo’s Fire, The Big Ship

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 💚💚💚💚💚

The Big Ship is an easy 5, the rest is 4 for me me

pretty fucking amazing for me and feels like something that could get up to a 5 as i listen to it more Fav song: The Big Ship

Not bad, but I can't say I enjoyed it.

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

Fascinerend album, en wat mij betreft zijn gloriewerk. De plaat die ambient catchy weet te maken, wat een prestatie op zich is. Ik vind de tracklisting soms een beetje onnatuurlijk, waar het voortdurend switcht tussen indie pop en ambient, maar de algehele mellow vibe houdt alles wel bij elkaar. En 'The Big Ship' had natuurlijk de afsluiter moeten zijn, van de plaat en van het universum. Altijd weer kippenvel. Unieke luisterervaring, en vér voor zijn tijd. Een bevestiging dat Eno één van mijn muziekhelden is. 8,5/10 Highlights: The Big Ship Golden Hours I'll Come Running Becalmed

Best vreemd zo'n combinatie tussen ambient en rock-songs. Maar door de op- en afbouw van ambient naar de rocknummers in het midden van het album klopt het eigenlijk best goed. Ik vind I'll Come Running echt een 5-sterren track. Daar heb ik dan al 10 minuten zin in terwijl Eno met zijn synthesizer-flows de luisteraar al een beetje in de stemming brengt. En na het hoogtepunt bouwt hij dat ook weer af met mooie dromerige geluiden. Sferisch en ook gewoon mooi. Los is zo'n nummer helemaal niks, maar vanuit de tracks ervoor raak je in een soort flow state. Goeie shit. Eno, wat een master... 8/10 Highlights I'll Come Running

You can feel Eno starting to shift from glam rock irony to ambient composition in this one, with short tone pieces driven by synths and droning guitars. He’s already playing with the forms he’d later lean into working with Bowie and Talking Heads. That said, it’s definitely a hodge-podge, lacking a real central theme or connection. Sometimes it feels weird for the sake of being weird, as opposed to his later compositions which all connected in their own way. But it’s a worthwhile listen all the same.

I don't get it...

Cool

Nice mix of rock songs and soft ambient ones.

*1975. English ambient pop. *I'm not really sure how to describe this - it was like something off of Garden State, but circa 1975 with some electronic elements. *Good background music - very mellow. *St. Elmo's Fire was a cool track - catchy but low-key. *Pretty forgettable for the most part. RATING - 6/10

Another Brian Eno album that I've largely got along with. I like this. It's weird and moody, with a good variety of tracks. I like the layers of sounds building up over time, creating real textures and mood.

Он из будущего. Лучшая песня - Everything Merges With the Night.

I didn't know what to expect, but it was much more accessible than I was thinking it would be.

Simultaneously experimental and boring.

Pleasant listening.

Added to my (virtual) collection. An almost ambient album that benefits from repeat listens.

Way more accessible then some of his previous albums. Rather enjoyed and might have to add this to

I appreciate how original this is, but not really my cup of tea.

This was different, but nice

Ooh, very interesting and contemporary-sounding sonic experiments for 1975. I much prefer the all-instrumental tracks vs. the few with lyrics, which are both weak and sung weakly. But the tracks where musicians explore the edges of sounds, keeping a beat throughout, really pleased my ears. I know Brian Eno as a superstar producer and not his own music. While I fear that may have been him singing, I’m into what he’s doing here.

Chilled good I'll come running was the highlight Solid

Good to chill.

Lowkey bewildering.

Ok 2/5

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

não que seja ruim, mas é chato a produção é incrível

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

Some Bowie, early Pink Floyd, and even some Ween.

The middle phase between ambient eno and warm jets eno. I like warm jets personally, actually I like roxy music eno the most… maybe it’s basic for music nerds but I struggle a bit even here 3/5 generously

1.42

Klanglich experimentell, aber oft zu fragmentiert und distanziert. Zwischen Ambient und Art-Pop fehlt es dem Album an emotionalem Zugang und musikalischem Fluss. Ein respektiertes Werk – doch schwer zugänglich für Hörer, die nach Tiefe und Struktur suchen.

Thought it was going to be a bit try-hard artsy but quite liked it. On my patented -100 to 100 rating scale - where 100 is god herself coming down and giving me the best sex ever, respecting me in the morning and doing the dishes on the way out is 90+ (because nothing get 100 in an imperfect world - i mean look at the sheets!) it gets 60

Very interesting just not the kind of interesting I’m a fan of really

Very good, considering its instrumental it holds up well. The tracks have great depth. Great album

Gostei quando estava pra dormir, mas não dá pra ficar ouvindo.

It wasn’t for me

Experimental, and I mean that in a good way. I found there weren't enough tracks for me to hang my hat on to really be into this album but I liked some of what he was doing and respect the innovation.

Kind of the same thing happens every time I listen to a Brian Eno album. He's obviously and incredibly talented musician. His music has a lot of brilliant moments, but what's between them ranges from alright to just boring. This album is no exception. The highs are very high, but there are a lot of parts where just nothing happens (and I’m not just talking about the ambient portions). Overall, I still enjoyed this album, but I feel like it had potential to be a lot better if it were a little more dense. 7/10

More good stuff from the man Eno. It doesn't have the same impact as Before and After Science, but it's kind of in the same vein - I suppose being right on the cusp of the more straightforward Roxys influenced rock and his foray into ambient. The instrumental track on here don't quite have the ethereal beauty he finds later on, but they are still interesting and do something to you deep inside.

ENOugh already! This list keeps shoving Eno at me and I’m still not buying it. Its like every effort of his is some bizarre graduate project.

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.

1. Sky Saw - 2 Pretty rough sounding instrumentals outside of the bass guitar that's been reduced to a bland coffee shop background music sound. Lyrically the track is lost. Ending violins are a ear-bleeding pitch of sound. 2. Over Fire Island - 3 Sounds like a rejected Super Mario background music track. 3. St Elmo's Fire - 3 It's a pretty weak track. Piano starts well but none of the other instruments sound particularly great. Lyrically it's okay at times and lost at others. Gutar is nice but the track is so random you wonder why it's on there. 4. In Dark Trees - 7 Decent track. Instrumentally pretty good. Reminds me almost of Minecart Madness from the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack but still, a really enjoyable track. 5. The Big Ship - 5 Not a bad song but it sounds like it would just mainly be used for a photo montage. 6. I'll Come Running - 2 Lyrically absolutely awful. Guitar sound is okay but it's pretty much bad elevator music. 7. Another Green World - 4 Sounds like a Minecraft theme with guitars. Way too short lived and simple a track. 8. Sombre Reptiles - 4 Another way too simplistic track devoid of both quality and purpose. 9. Little Fishes - 0 The soundtrack to an area in a really MMORPG. That's what this sounds like. 10. Golden Horse - 2 Might as well be a lullaby. Really dull song. 11. Becalmed - 3 Slow building ambient music. It's calm, but it's also just three minutes of what feels like a funeral procession. 12. Zawinul/Lava - 1 This is the track that shows you exactly where "Ambient 1/Music for Airports" came from. Sounds just like something off that album. 13. Everything Merges With The Night - 2 Just way too simplistic a track. Monotony in a song. 14. Spirits Drifting - 1 Another funeral procession of a song. Average Rating: 2.79 Adjusted to 5 Point Scale: 1.39 Rounded Down: 1 Star

Brian I'm so so sorry I love you and Thursday Afternoon, DM, and Airports are some of my favourite albums but I just don't get this.

I want you to know I was a very good sport about this one. I do not like Brian Eno.

I'm sure I'm not the first one to call this album boring. Kinda cool I guess, but just wasn't super interested in anything.

sooo listened while doing schoolwork so wasn’t paying 100% attention but i DEF wanna relisten and loved the vibes and felt like pink floyd!!

I liked it. I didn't really know what to expect. Always thought Eno was new wavey stuff, not for me. But this surprised me. Many good thing on here. A few misses - but well worth the listen.

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

Another Eno album…another head scratcher in a good way.

Started good but wasn't a fan of the vocals as I'm not used to this from Eno.

quite idiotic music.

I think it's exceptional. I'm curious about what the community score will be though. Because this project fucking LOVES 70s music, but very much hates electronic/ambient music. For me, though, this is a banger.

Je déteste pas mais peut-être un peu trop industriel pour mon goût, je pense pas le réécouter

Une BO de film, j’avais des images en tête ! C’est sympa, c’est très bien exécuté. Quelques sons sympa Ce n’est pas ce que j’écouterai tous les jours car j’ai l’impression qu’il me manque le visonnage du film avant d’être totalement plongé

D'habitude j'aime bien les albums expérimentaux mais là ça m'a vraiment pas marqué. Ça reste pas mauvais en soit donc 2/5

Boring, I don't like this album.

It took some effort to separate this from all of the indie try-hard acts that borrowed from Eno's sound in the early part of the century. Once I could focus on the music for what it was, I quite liked it. Nothing left a lasting impression on me, but I got the sense that it would require multiple listens to truly appreciate the depth of this album. One day I'll need to revisit this more earnestly. Standout tracks: St. Elmo's Fire, The Big Ship, I'll Come Running

This album is so interesting. It is very "soundscape". It isnt like...bad. But I will never return to this. Anytime Brian sings Im like...please stop. It is kinda of a snooze album. It all blended together and I was waiting for something to happen. Actual rating....1.5 Liked Songs: "I'll Come Running" and "Becalmed"

This kinda sucks. I don't think I needed to listen to this much Brian Eno. 1.5

I get it. Brian Eno is a phenomenal sound engineer and producer. I just find his stuff boring.

The idea of ambient music is pretty cool but you can still see it in its early stages here. Not quite refined just yet

I liked it

A great illustration of why Brian Eno is very well known as a collaborator and producer, not so much as a solo artist. Because this is all very well produced and clever, but not that... Concise as an album/collection of songs.

Dang, there seems to be a bunch of Brian Eno on this list. This must be my 4th or 5th album of his. I thoroughly enjoyed this album. It was a fun ride.

Listened in the truck via YouTube music. Brian Eno’s been all over the place with sound and textures. Another great one.

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

This was a fun listen. Easy listening for a chilled eve, but interesting and took you on a journey throughout. I didn't recognise any of the tracks, and none stood out to me, but great as a piece.

Podría haber muerto perfectamente sin escuchar esto, nada que ver con mi estilo y están súper raras las canciones

Eeee no me gustó

Brian Emo

Background music. If you are a musician, probably inspiring.

I put in a little extra effort on this one. Gave it three listens. Never not liked it, but it mostly ended up as background music. I really like the first track. If I try to put myself back in 1975, I think I can see how this would have been exciting.

Some people I greatly respect worship at the altar of Brian Eno, but I've never really connected to his music. I was just thinking I need to give Hear Come the Warm Jets another try, though I'm sure it's on this list. Another Green World sounds a little undercooked to me, with songs that just sort of end—which makes sense if Eno had nothing prepared when we went into the studio and kind of winged it. Smarter people than I can argue for the genius of this album, but it doesn't do much for me.

Wow, I didn’t expect this album to be this good. When I first got this album, all I know of Brian Eno was that he worked with the Talking Heads at some point, and that’s it, so I had no idea what this album was going to be like. So I went out to my back porch and started listening to the album, and it was ok, but not great. I liked Robert Fripp’s guitar solo on St. Elmo’s Fire, and some of the songs were actually pretty good, but I wasn’t into it yet. But everything changed when I got to Becalmed. Listening to the soft, spacey piano, while watching the sun go down made me understand everything that I’d headed beforehand. You have to be in the mood to listen to the album. If you’re too actively listening(like I was) you’re not gonna enjoy it, but if you turn your brain off and take in your surroundings, it can be a great experience. Eno’s production on this album is amazing. He knows how to create an atmosphere by layering sounds. He also has a group of great session musicians on this album, he even gets Phil Collin’s to drum on a few tracks. Songs like In Dark Trees, Another Green World, and Spirits Drifting create a great ambience, and allow you to get lost in the music. So, I say, get this album, go outside at sunset, and prepare to have you’re ears opened.

songs with vocals were quite good, its very 70s contemporary like futuristic vibes, kinda weird but kinda good at the same time, could do with another listen to cement fav songs

Not bad

Pretty amazing for 1975

I like this. It's silly goose music. and I am certainly a silly goose. So many good layered sounds and melodies and interesting pieces! I greatly prefer when the words come in, but this album is SO much better than the first one I listened to by him. (Ambient 1) It's also just produced so well. Which makes sense bc it's Brian Eno. Each song sonically fits it's title and lyrics so well. I loved I'll Come Running. Gimme 10 of those please and thank you!

Always wary of anything “experimental” but Brian Eno is a master of sound. I wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to this but I’d be happy to have it as background music while I’m doing something else.

I listened to this on a train journey while staring out of the window, which might be the optimum way to hear it. It’s a good soundtrack for drifting off into your own little world.

i appreciate brian but he is not for me

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.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the tracks with vocals but the ambient tracks are 10/10. Incredible vibes.

So peaceful. Listen to this on the beach if you can

I was looking forward for another album. I couldn’t listen to it. I’m sure it’s fantastic to some. Just not my cup of tea.

7/10 Highlights: In Dark Trees Sky Saw Spirits Drifting

strange in an accessible way.

Listening. but a bit funky for my taste

I listened to this album back to back with "Music for airports", and I was pleasantly surprised since I wasn’t familiar with that side of Eno’s works. It’s actually quite interesting, even if I’m not really into that kind of art rock (or is it proto-synthpop ?). Will I ever listen to it again ? Probably not, but I still enjoyed listening it once. Nice effort. 5/10

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.

It's okay, nice background music.

I’m not sure what to do with this one. I loved Art of Noise growing up - I think I’m open to the genre of environmental, experimental, instrumental music. This was a pleasant listen, the songs are interesting in places and boring in others. But it feels largely forgettable. I guess I go middle of the road until I potentially revisit and feel otherwise. 3/5

Shades of pseudo new wave and Pink Floyd

Great start to Eno’s Another Green World, which is a kinda cool mid-70s “new age” album. Starts to fade after The Big Ship. Title cut is short, but ecology was pretty new and near the top of the western world agenda. Best song is Sombre Reptiles (and must be the one they’re talking about that new instrument the snake guitar.) Definitely some innovative ideas and instruments on this album. And he certainly put together a group of well known musicians. My thoughts are that the album would have been even better with no lyrics. Solid (3.2*s)

"Another Green World" is another soft, light music ensemble for your background enjoyment. Nothing to turn off and works nicely while you work. Eno getting into the experimental side of things with his snake guitar and uncertain piano is cool considering it's is early stuff for the elctro-ambient genre. Certainly liked it more than sleeping in the airport. 2.0 stars for taking me out for a nice trip in a big ship over the planet.

Going to reiterate that I like the products of Brian Eno the producer, but not really a fan of Brian Eno the musician. Another Green World is another example of him getting too weird with it. Most of the tracks sounds like demos or early concepts as opposed to songs. It's great that Brian Eno is able to experiment with his creative side, it just doesn't turn into anything that interesting for me. 1.06 stars

Solid asf. My first eno. FIVE

Quelques chansons étaient quand même une vibe (notamment Zawinul/Lava), mais le début n’était pas assez mélodieux à mon goût

Overall: 8/10 This is a transitional album for Brian Eno as it blends poppier music with some more ambient stuff. I kind of wish there were a couple more pop songs on here but it doesn't make much of a difference to the quality of the music. It's obvious that Eno was ready to take the next step toward ambience anyway. Fav Song: The Big Ship Least Fav Song: Little Fishes

Modern / synthetic

Very interesting

I like this. I like Eno's ambient stuff a lot more, but there's a prog bent here that is kind of cool. I'll return to Eno's other stuff, but some of this may make its way onto a mix tape. 6/10

First thought when I saw this: "What? Two in a row from this guy? I haven't even listened to the first one! What did I ever do to you?" But really, it wasn't bad. Another 3.

Audio nostalgia. Five star album.

Cool sound scapes and depth. But lacks the hooks to make it a classic.

Not his bet not his worst, very fun listen

Favorite Track: The Big Ship

altern. Rock, 1975 -> 2

Not extraordinary, however, it is original and not a bad listen.

3.9/i can see why he's one of the greats. very eery but also beautiful sounding album

This album was very fun i loved the sound Idk who this guy is but he seems very cool cuz he made quite the album

Kul lyssning. Musikaliskt och ”ambitiöst ”. Rätt spretigt, typ tre olika skivor. Alla funkar på olika sätt, men hade kunnat vara utan avslappningsmusiken. Gillade det instrumentala bäst. Kräver fler lyssningar. Kommer lyssna igen : ja Bästa spår: the big ship (D)(D2) Betyg: D - 6 av 10 (3 av 5) D2 - 7 av 10 (3 av 5)

I guess the music is revolutionary, I wasn’t alive to witness it. The music doesn’t really stand on its own and it feels like they are being experimental for the sake of it… 3/5

The precursor to Bowie in Berlin, and Talking Heads beginnings, and, I guess, the better part of U2's discography... and it's pretty wild and weird and amazing and dull and everything all at once. I mean it opens with Phil Collins on drums and John Cale absolutely abusing a viola...

Beautiful

Truly glorious

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

I did not enjoy this as much as either the ambient album or Here Come The Warm Jets, but it was still a good listen. 3.5

yeah that's a brian eno album. weird and interesting. annoying sometimes. and a good *album* experience

I can't believe it but I actually prefer the totally instrumental ambient albums by far

Special...a bit musicians music for me...

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

Not for me!

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.

Good for the plane ride I listened to it on. Eno was definitely ahead of his time and there is some groundbreaking stuff here. It can also be hard to focus in on at times with the ambience. But I’m working at it!

Eno got some major talent in the studio with him. He definitely got a bit of a boost from surrounding himself with those guys. Nothing stands out to me here, but I did like Phil Collins on the first track.

J - 2/5 Best Track - "St Elmo's Fire" F - 2/5

What we can expect from a Brian Eno album. Thoughtful and ambient.

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

A nice ambient album. Beautifully produced, great as background music, but not particularly memorable for me.

Beautiful

Eh

Are we seriously calling this ‘music’?

A good ambient album overall. I really liked The Big Ship. The other songs were interesting at points, but not as engaging and immersive. I could see myself listening to this at work during focus time. A lawful good 3 for me.

Sometimes I felt like I was listening to the start page of Zelda

Listened a second time with my over the ear headphones and heard a lot more nuance and lovely moments. Some songs I really enjoyed, Like St. Elmo's Fire and Golden Hour. Overall I liked it but found some songs too repetitive and preferred the ones with lyrics. The ones without were varied and interesting, but didn't draw me in as much.

This was an Andrew album through and through, so while I loved watching him love the songs, I thought they were okay.

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!

Background vibes

While I do really enjoy some of Brian Eno's work, this is just okay for me. There are some enjoyable tracks and some which feel more like filler to make the record 40 minutes long.

Loved it so much more than I anticipated from the genre. Great one to listen to as I was working. Lots of really cool beats. I bet a lot of people really hate this though.

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.

I thought I would find Brian Eno twee and pretentious But this is the 2nd album of his I’m giving 4 ⭐️ This is an oddly affecting collection that loses nothing through it mostly being instrumentals And the title track is the theme to the old BBC arts show Arena. Always loved that bit of music but never knew it was Eno

Great soundscape album from one of the originators of the genre. Excited to hear more from him on this list, really enjoyed this one

I like alot of the instrumental tracks but not so keen on the ones with singing

I've never been a big Eno-stan, and always thought he took away more than he added to Bowie and Talking Heads. That says, gave this a few listens and it has its moments - some great sounds on In Dark Trees and the proto-Berlin trilogy Sky Saw and a couple of the vocal tracks had some of the wistfulness of Pink Floyd's elegies for lost summers. Overall though, probably at turns a little overly academic and too twee so perhaps fitting I recognized a song or two from late night BBC2.

This album sounds like it’s been recorded by one of the greatest producers in the history of popular music. Oh hang on…. Shame he didn’t stick to production, as a song writer and singer he is not. This is a collection of disparate ideas barely masquerading as songs. Really good production though.

Very nice background ambience.

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.

Not for me

I don't much like Prog Rock, but if I did like Prog Rock, I think I'd love this album. When the song had no lyrics, I wanted lyrics. When the song had lyrics, I wanted no lyrics.

I keep wanting to really like Eno, but honestly, I found it a bit of a mixed bag.

Don’t really know how I feel about ambient but Brian Eno is that good of a producer. This album feels like a middle aged man on a journey around the world if that makes. Something I really liked is the guitar solo in “St Elmo’s fire” that resembles electricity. Right now I feel like this album is 3.5 but I think that some songs have the chance to grow up on me

I think I like this one a little less than "Here Come the Warm Jets" but there it was a thing where I warmed up to so many of its ideas as well how Eno integrated so many cool and interesting little things to a genre that otherwise is kinda there for me like Glam Rock. Here is more just straight up the crossroads of rock and electronic ambient which both sound good and he still is adding new ideas to it that I'm really enjoying, but I think I'll need time to really sink my teeth into this one.

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

1,5

Tenía otra idea de Brian Eno pero este disco es muy bueno.

Chill, experimental, different

I almost willed myself to like this more than I actually do. I get that it’s pioneering and features great musicians and som of the tracks are quite lovely but overall it’s just lacking something for me

Feel like this was a compilation of music that an artist/band would create on their journey to an actual album, lots of experimental noise and could perhaps be interesting to hear the process alongside a more exciting album, but probably not something you'd release into the wild without context.

I get it but i don;t get it... you know what i mean. its not there but also its there... thats how this album feels like

This has as much emotional impact as elevator music. 2.5.

This was a really interesting album conceptually and in execution. I'm really surprised I liked it, to be honest. Personal enjoyment: 4/5 Relevance to this list: 5/5

This could well grow on me after more listens, but for now...

You had me at Eno and Fripp! Yes, I’m one of those “olds” that think King Crimson hung the moon… Super weird and unique in its vision. Transitional between the rock and minimalism/ambient phases of Brian Eno’s recording career. An important and worthwhile album, but I acknowledge won’t be to everyone’s taste or popular on the radio. 4⭐️

I preferred the instrumental songs over the ones with vocals. A really interesting album to relax into.

So zen, I would happily have this on while doing things. Nice tracks a few little highlights, really liked the little fishes, very evocative.

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

The first 2 tracks feature Percy Jones and Phil Collins. If you like these you'd probably like Percy's band Brand X, which also featured Phil in the 70s. The rest of the album is made up of pleasant vinyets and dities. While the approach to song writing may have been experimental, the outcomes are surprisingly conventional. Overall a pleasing listen.

It’s an interesting production but not one that I have fallen in love with like others. My favourite part is the middle of the record which swells with positivity as a more straightforward counterpoint to the esoteric beginning and end. For me it’s a reward / relief when it becomes a pop album, then a bit of a drag when it’s discordant, noodling or meditative. As a fan of his ambient albums I suppose this record sits as a bit of a halfway house between styles that I don’t personally “get”.

A high 4 for me, i prefer both Eno’s poppier tunes w Roxy Music and his more experimental stuff with Fripp and especially his solo ambient oeuvre - this midpoint on Another Green World is frequently beautiful and sounds great but engages me less than his work either side

Not really my sort of thing but it was ok

Some interesting sounds and arrangements, but the songs all sorta hit the same tone. Eno’s monotonous droning vocals don’t add much to the excitement either.

I wasn’t in the right mood. And/or it’s just boring. I understand its historic importance and I see its influence all over but on its own it’s just a little boring.

Certainly not my sound but very artsy

That’s Eno-ugh! But like not really cuz it’s great

May need to circle back to this one!

Some story driven 64 bit video game bangers in there. Digital prog. Sky Saw reminds me of Jeff Wayne’s War of The Worlds, over Fire Island had me pulling a funk face a bit like this 😖in a good way. From that point on he started talking about tying my shoe. I was more of a fan of the instrumentals than the vocals. Interesting listen but it’s not one for the dinner party or Music for Chameleons

Brian Eno is just a chill dude who likes to make chill music.

Too experimental for me

The songs with lyrics were kind of dreamy. I could take or leave the others.

Yeah. Sure. OK.

I have mixed feelings about this album. On one hand, I really dislike the more minimalist/ambient 'songs' scattered throughout, especially those at the start, but on the other hand some songs were decent (St Elmo's Fire) and others were actually pretty good for ambient music (The Big Ship, Zawinul/Lava).

An enjoyable album that sheds light on his long career.

Couldn't get thru it

Prog rock is not so much for me. However, I appreciate how experimental it was for the time.

I definitely prefer Brian Eno as producer to Brian Eno as solo musician, but this album is still very good. It's a strong showcase of a broad skillset. On this listen, one track stood out in particular: "Everything Merges With the Night." It somehow straddles the line between Eno's more mainstream music and his more ambient work.

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.

The best thing this project has done is help me discover Brian Eno, holy shit this dude is great

A really cool ethereal sound that holds up to this day. The sparse vocals create a mood that lets you really settle in.

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.

Pues lo que es. Justo lo que alguien que ha escuchado a Brian Eno podría esperar de un disco de Brian Eno. ¿Es esto bueno o es esto malo? Depende de cada quién. No me pareció un mal disco, pero tampoco me provocó emoción alguna. Se puede escuchar y bye.

Bit weird and not my style. Somewhat relaxing and easy listening. Mostly music with minimal or no lyrics. Listened to in the morning cleaning my shed.

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

Not very interesting

Was looking forward to another Eno album to see how it compares to ‘…Warm Jets.’ Found it more enjoyable and connectable. Although, felt like the tracks were quite brief, just starting up and then faded out. A kind of nothingness or at least never gets going or leads anywhere. ‘Meh’ is the most fitting summary. Kinda beginner soundscape, ambient, stock backing/slightly experimental music. Struggling to find the one track I like most because it’s all kind of nondescript nothing.

Better than Coldplay

I am a fan of Eno as a producer or other acts, but I never really spent time with this one. It is certainly interesting, but not something I think I'd ever come back to.

Kanske en platta jag egentligen inte behöver höra innan jag dör.

certains son cools, d'autres moins

All instrumental. Didn’t enjoy.

This might be my favourite Brian Eno album yet.

I enjoyed this album, definitely some movie soundtracks vibes at times.

Eminently forgettable, verging on annoying. His brother does 'ambient' so much better.

Listened July 2021. I find it hard to rate this kind of ambient music because I find it perfectly pleasant and would happily put it on in the background anytime, but I can't say I really love it or would choose to listen to it often. I respect the craft and what people enjoy about it, even though it isn't really for me.

Meget bra

This one missed the mark for me

Interesting listen as I was hiking up a new mountain

Art Rock is just not my thing. I kind of liked some of the songs, but I could have died without hearing this and been OK. 2.25/5.

Did the person putting this list together have a long career in the NFL, because you'd have to have some extreme CTE to put some of these shit albums on this list. Christ almighty I hate this pots-and-pans-banging-and-call-it-music bullshit. Fucking nerds ruin everything. 1/5

Very experimental artist..recognised the theme tune that was used for bbc 2's arts programme Arena.

A moving and completely wonderful album.

Solid. A little funk. 3/5

Nope Just nope

I prefer the longer, purely instrumental tracks of e.g. Music for Airports, as far as ambient Eno is concerned, but this is good too.

Very good album.

Surprisingly good !

eu não paro de me supreender com a produção desse cara. eu não sei se ele que faz os arranjos nos albuns dele, imagino que sim, mas se for ele tem um dom absurdo pra ritmo. os baixos são lindos. embora musica ambiente não seja meu tipo de coisa eu adoro os trabalhos dele com bowie, talking heads, fripp e pra mim é bom que esse album não seja inteiramente focado na ambiencia.

I like it. It's not an album I'd recommend to just anyone, but if they like ambiant music I might suggest they check it out. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but nothing is weird enough to really stand out in a negative way. Standouts Over Fire Island The Big Ship Becalmed Spirits Drifting 4/5

p337. 1975. 2 stars. Bland ambient music with awful vocals and lyrics. "I'll tie your shoe". Saved from 1 star by a couple of lovely instrumentals. Next time Brian, no need to sing, eh?

Ben normaal helemaal niet van de ambient, maar vond dit toch best aardig. 4 sterren is meer een waardering naar Brian Eno dan naar het album an sich

Kinda interesting, kinda dull. Eno'msayin'?

very weird but very nice

I love background music. Go ahead give me sweet nothings, Brian!!!

Different (affectionate)

I like Brian Eno, but have never listened to this before (another artist with a daunting back catalogue)...or so I thought. Several of the tracks rang a bell with me, especially the lovely title track which I had to google to find out why it was so familiar (it was used as the title music for UK docuentary programme 'Arena'). an accessible stepping stone between the glam rock stuff and the later ambient excursions.

Im not sure how I felt about this one tbh. A fine listen all things considered, but nothing really grabbed me

Good but not my favorite Eno by far.

Endlessly creative. Doesn't always hit the mark but there are some sublime moments on this album. Zawinal/Lava a singpost towards his later pure ambeint works which are just fantastic.

My man invented ambient music that’s crazy

Two songs worth listening to - I’ll Come Running and Everything Merges with the Night. Even those are like second class Jona Lewie songs. The others are pretentious Muzak.

Probably as much as I could like an ambient album.

Seems like this was on the cusp of Brian Eno pioneering the ambient music scene... it was a lot more jazzy than I expected. Even chaotic at times. Maybe it was because of preconceived notions but I didn't care for it.

Not Eno's best work. I definitely consider this album to be a bridge from his experimental pop/rock to his straight ambient work.

This is a cool album. Sounds like it could have been recorded today. Sky saw sounds really cool. May revisit this later. 1001 album worthy: yes - 77/140

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

I read the review of it being a waking nightmare and I didn't want to harsh my mellow.

As soon as I saw this I was like FML, another bloody Eno album in the same month. While that sentiment wasn't entirely proven wrong, this album is a little more palatable than Here Come the Warm Jets, which was a solid 1 star for me. This one is at least inoffensive ambient music with some weird ticks, which is a huge step up from the other one. Progress, right? I just read that this guy produced Bowie and U2 at some points. Well, to quote the poet and philosopher Oshea Jackson, "stick to producing." Two lofty stars, which is pretty solid for Eno.

LIFE CHANGING AND NEVER FAILING

It’s an interestingly creative album. I don’t understand the endless 5 star reviews over an album that is essentially a soundscape. It’s really good at what it does, but it’s not a masterpiece in my opinion.

St. Elmo's fire is a pretty good song. Rest of the album is ok. Not what I would normally listen but wasn't the worst. 3/5

I can respect the artistry and talent that went into this album. That being said it just didn't click for me but I can see why people would love it.

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.

He's one of the few artists who deserve to have multiple albums on the list, because they're all very different. I don't like his later work very much, but this is good. Favorite song: sombre reptiles

This guy has been around for a long time, and was with Roxy music before they rose to famousness. This album is very early electronica along with some mellow rock tunes. Some of these sound like they would be perfect for museums or airports. Overall pleasant and cutting edge for 1975.

I have heard of Brian Eno before but had no idea what his deal was. His deal is apparently Phil Collins drumming with some electronic woobly noises mixed in and occasional uncaptivating vocals. I like the album cover -- did it inspire Conclave (2024)? Highlight: 'The Big Ship'

Aika ambient. Ei paha! 3/5

Harmikseni olin tätä Enon levyä kuunnellut vähemmän kuin muita. Onneksi asian voi tästä eteenpäin korjata! Erinomainen 4/5

I recently heard FredAgain talking about Brian Eno, so was keen to hear his work. It's a bit like a fever dream in all the right ways? Fave Tracks - St Elmo's fire - Golden Hours

A little too much silence between most tracks. It doesn't make it flow very well. The music is alright for the most part. My favourites were St Elmo's Fire and Golden Hours.

Likes this better than the last Eno album I got two days ago. Lyrics were kept to a minimum and I was able to enjoy the ethereal music landscape. 3/5

This is kinda strange, but I really like it. And the musicians joining him on the records are incredible also.

Goofy goober ass album. The first song baited me so hard.

Eh. Mostly unenjoyable and unmemorable.

It was okay, but kinda boring lol

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.

A classic. Love the mix of ambience and art rock. Not fully enticing to me than some of the more rocky stuff but still very solid

I just can't fully appreciate music like this. Some of it is nice, some of it is just so simple like background music. None of it is offensive, I guess? Best Song: St. Elmo's Fire Rating: 4.5/10 (Forgettable) Stars: 2/5

1/5 none of the songs stood out

No

This one is a lot better than Before and After Science. When “ambient musician Brian ENO” sticks to the ambience, it works a lot better than when he does stuff that other artists do better.
