Another Green World

Weird feels music

Good background work music

Did not do anything for me

A collection of prog-pop vignettes. Not bad actually (possibly helped by the fact that any given piece is rather short).

1. Sky Saw - an interesting sound, but I didn’t live the lyrics. 2. Over Fire Island - I don’t love instrumentals but it was an ok sound. 3. St. Elmo’s Fire - it’s got a unique sound, I like the guitar solo. 4. In Dark Trees - a very ominous sound for me, another instrumental 5. The Big Ship - this sounds a bit more hopeful to me, so I like that but it’s another instrumental 6. I’ll Come Running - I actually don’t mind this one. 7. Another Green World - another instrumental. 8. Sombre Reptiles - this one sounds a bit more low but exciting, another instrumental. 9. Little Fishes - flowed well from the last one, much more mellow a little different sounding, instrumental. 10. Golden Hours - sounds a little electronic almost which is cool for the 70s, sounds pretty innovative for the time. 11. Becalmed - kinda soothing instrumental 12. Zawinul/Lava - nice piano instrumental 13. Everything Merges with the Night - kinda liked the lyrics and sound. 14. Spirits Drifting - sounds kinda ethereal so it’s an interesting note to end it Overall, I didn’t mind the sound of it but I didn’t think it was that great. I don’t love when albums have a lot of instrumentals, I think that’s better for interludes. I also looked it up and didn’t realise he was also in Roxy music which I had an album earlier that I didn’t really like that much either. Interesting to see the impact he had on music though.

Nah

Eno's works are usually a hit and miss for me and I didn't think much of this album at first. The opening tracks are not that interesting but the later works like 'Sombre Reptiles' really have a strange charm to it. Very much recommended!

3/5 Very interesting for its time Quite enjoyed Melodic, electronic

It's so hard to judge music that has instrumentals all through it. Yeah, the music is great, but how often am I really going to listen to it? This album, especially the songs with lyrics, really grew on me as I continued to listen. Would I ever just put this album on? Probably not. I'm interested in hearing more of Eno's work, though I would like to hear a similar sound with more vocals.

Just not for me

As with Roxy Music, I don’t have much context with Brian Eno, as I was born 10 years after this release and have never listened to any of his music, minus Country Life which was given to me here. I wanted to not like Another Green World but I do. There are only about 3 actual songs on this album, the structure reminds me of Radiohead’s Kid A but much brighter and upbeat. It really is a beautiful album, particularly the aptly named Becalmed and everything after it. The production is way ahead of it’s time as expected and to me this feels like the invention of ambient music that many credit with his next album, yet still has some pop elements. 8.4/10

Another Eno Masterpiece.

Not my cup of tea, nothing grabbed my attention.

Really not my thing

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 is WEIRD. I wrote that immediately and then allowed this album to take me on its journey. Aside from a few standout moments, this just kind of became a part of my day. Like, I almost forgot it was playing a few times. It will be in my focus rotation.

to be honest, the sound of another green world is exactly what i imagined a brian eno album to sound like. mostly instrumental, and a mix of electronic, ambient, art/experimental. the vocals themselves weren't anything special, because eno's strength lies in the instrumentals. maybe the album as a whole could be considered boring, but the instrumentals could have such moments of beautiful brilliance that i wasn't bored. these types of instrumentals were still new and different for 1975--not to mention the kind of creativity that went into this album. there were fiddle-like and outer-space sounds, and i don't know how the album managed to sound cohesive, but eno managed it.

This was an intriguing listen! I found this to be enjoyable music, though I wasn't really moved by it. I would say the highlight of the album for me was the background piano. It always sounded a bit mystical, as if each track had short little piano "themes" dancing across them. This was a creative endeavor, and while not particularly wowed, I never knew what was coming next. Certainly a unique listen! This is one of those albums I'd like to return to for more listens and pick up on new nuances!

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.

It's the best Brian Eno album I've ever listened to until now. This is not exactly a compliment.

Expectations were on the floor after "music for airports"

I love this one, its so comforting

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

3,5

There's probably too many Brian Eno albums on this list. This is the 5th one I've reviewed, not sure how many more there are. Anyway, this one is not doing anything for me. Just bored and uninterested throughout.

A mig camí entre els àlbums més purament experimentals d'Eno i els seus més accessibles. Les virtuts creatives i coneixement del seu medi no se li poden negar en cap cas. Aquí permet un cert espai a la melodia, sobretot en els temes vocals, i la seva perícia fa que tots ells, amb veu i instrumentals, siguin disfrutables a la seva manera

Another fantastic Eno record, this one leaning more into the ambient side he’d continue to pioneer

During my first playthrough this left with no real impression, even though Brian Eno is often brought up as a pioneer in electronic music. I was working while listening and nothing really stood out. I skimmed again now just before writing this, and it's actually not that bad, but not great either. I think it just passed my by since it's mostly ambient and mellow stuff. It would work much better as soundtrack to a movie rather than a typical album. Might be something I'd put on again while working. Weak 3 overall, not that exciting.

Very ambient and different. It didn't really leave any big impression but it was still nice. I think i need to listen to this a bit more to have a real opinion. Could be anywhere between a 2 and a 4 so I'll give it 3 for now. "Sombre Reptiles" was quite cool.

This is the definition of art rock to me. Really great album from Brian Eno, even if it's a little scattered. It's part of its charm.

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

Unbelievable ethereal tones and instruments all the way. In 2023, it's still an amazing and surprising record.

Ganz cool eigentlich!

Two Eno albums in three days. What have I done to deserve this? Anyway, fucking awful, just like every other Eno album I've listened to.

C'est vraiment spécial et avant-gardiste. Ce n'est pas toujours mon genre mais je comprends vraiment comment la musique d'Eno a contribué grandement à l'évolution de la scène musicale. Je devrais réécouter cet album dans un meilleur état d'esprit. 7/10

It's hard to come away from anything Brian Eno does without a massive amount of respect. He is so evidently an artist with a capital A... the kind that someone in the contemporary art world would recognize a bit of themselves in. An experimentalist, an intellectual, but– thankfully for us– he actually walks the walk. I love that. I always come away from anything he does with a little bit of awe, looking up at the structure he's trying to erect. It's often ragged, rough around the edges. But there's really an artist there, amid it all. He's a perfect blend for me between the avant garde and the popular taste. This album has some bright moments. It's just hard to figure out which would have been groundbreaking to contemporaneous listeners, and which (to my ear), sound overplayed. That's because Eno is so massively influential in instrumental music, period– never mind ambient, which he undeniably invented– that any of his best ideas seem like they were destined to be reprinted for the next 25 years by the ambient film scorers and elevator musicians of the world. So I lack context to know what truly breaks the mold. I will say that the title track, Another Green World, always grabs me. I love that kind of immediacy... that's the version of Brian Eno I am unconsciously imitating in my own work. What a great listen. Rough around the edges, and so much less fleshed out than any ambient work is going to be in 25 years. But hey... it's 1975. So rarely does a new sound both break ground and crystallize into a solid form so quickly. This is a lot of broken ground. But what an expanse! 4/5

Haunting and soothing - sheer class

From this adventure, I'm learning that I really do not like Brian Eno's music. His melodies tend not to resonate with me, and when he's produced an album, I've tended not to vibe with it. It's wild to know how much influence he's had on music over the past half a century and to feel such a divide between what he's creating and what I enjoy. But I just really can't seem to enjoy his work. (It really doesn't help that he produced U2's absolutely horrific 2000 album) This album itself seems to encapsulate almost a lofi style, which I could really appreciate on tracks like Big Ship, or really any of the tracks without vocals. I can see how important this is to ambient music, to production, etc. But I still struggle to enjoy it.

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

Certified Eno classik

Blassic

"The Big Ship" is one of my favorites for a long time. The rest of the album is just so weird and intriguing, but overall I think it settles as an average album for me. I come back to it every once in a while, but it doesn't quite click with me like Eno's ambient stuff does.

Grew on me

Early eno, love hearing what’s to come

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.

Very good. Enjoyed it quite a bit and want to listen more

3.5/5 needed more weed for this prolly but still a vintage fun time. Love a dark atmospheric synth

Nice mix of pop-ish harmonies (one song pretty reminiscent of Animal Collective) and ambient tunes. 3.7/5

Kaksi Brian Enoa peräkkäin... Tämä oli bändillisempi enemmän kuin elektroninen ja meluisa, joten helpompaa kuunneltavaa. Tosi tylsä vain, ei ilottele tarpeeksi soittimilla ja ideoilla.

Sisältää kivoja hetkiä, mutta myös paljon pelkkää kivaa ääntä. Onhan tämä ihan tällainen juu.

Why had I not listened to this before?

It was ok

Very abstract and experimental. Not my cup of tea but I must say was interesting to listen to Brian Eno's solo work, after only really knowing him for his production work.

Way too abstract and experimental for my tastes.

When I listened to this album a second time, on my headphones instead of over my speakers, this album kept my full and undivided attention and I recommend anyone that found the sound collages a bit dull to do exactly that. It opened up the album.

6/10. Pretty good album once you get past the super abrasive first song. Not quite my thing though

I’m pretty sympathetic towards Brian Eno’s solo stuff. 7/10

this was weird but not too weird. also it was the good weird

Parts sound like a movie soundtrack. But this didn’t hold my interest

listened to again weird and wonderful

Intriguing album and no doubt influential to the electronic genre.

Starts of strong with Sky Saw, Over Fire Island, and St Elmo's Fire. Interesting instrumentation. Funky and Jazzy riffs. It has all the ingredients to make a 5 star album. But somehow even on those songs, the whole is much less than the sum of its parts, and struggles to hold my attention. It gets worse as the album goes on. Even on my dedicated listening session, I got distracted and reached for my phone around the time of Sombre Reptiles. Conclusion: I like Eno more as a producer than a composer. Would make a good movie soundtrack, I think. I would give the first 3 songs a 4, but they are significantly dragged down by the rest. Struggling whether to leave 2 or 3 stars.

I tried to put my "year 1975" shoes on to understand this album, its background, and the weight it had on music, and it was not an easy task. It demands attention, context, and a pinch of musical snobbism to appreciate it completely. Unluckily, I do not count on these attributes today since it is summer, school is closed, and I have been dealing with a 5-year-old that does not give rest to my soul. I think I am adding this to my backlog and moving to the next album.

I liked this one in high school!

I'm sure he enjoyed making this but I didn't enjoy my time listening to it. I mainly just wished I had a better album to listen to.

Relistening this and collecting thoughts since my browser refreshed and I lost what I wrote. Up front I'm somewhere between a 4 and a 5 here... I had seen Brian Eno's name a lot, but had never listened to his work until yesterday. I don't know what I expected, but this was not it. The album opens on a jazzy number lead largely by a warbling bass line with some electronic sounds interspersed; the song feels as if it wants to pull itself apart, but it keeps driving forward. Love everything about Golden Hours. Such a dreamy atmosphere. The production on this album is top notch and the sounds feel well ahead of their time. I'm a 4 / 5 on this. Found a lot of things interesting and enjoyed the listen.

sorry i just don’t get it

Background music

I mean it's not unpleasant, but nothing to really like here either. Also incredibly forgettable

Long live Eno

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.

This was interesting and a bit above average. Still nothing knocking me of my socks, but it's a nice and interesting listen. 3.5/5

En bra Eno.

Weird ass sound scapes. Kind of call but prefer music for airpots

I don't dislike it, I just don't see the point of it

it’s a singular vision but i don’t feel any heart in it

Good but there are better Eno albums out there!

Acabou aparecendo para mim a sequência da consolidação da música ambiente "de trás para frente". Assim este disco não me impressionou tanto, mesmo percebendo as bases do uso da melodia instrumental para apresentar a música ambiente consolidada.

3-4

4/5

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.

Interesting album. Not sure if it's good for background music, or putting on headphones for a dedicated play through.

Fantastic from start to finish.

58 of 1001 Brian Eno - Another Green World Favorite Track : I'll Come Running Rating : 3.5 / 5 Awesome ambient music. Eno was doing some new things. The first couple of tracks were a little too electronic for me, but it picked up. Can appreciate the man's talent and vision. Certainly one to keep in the library.

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

Feels like a soundtrack to a film I would want to watch on hallucinogenics

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.

Mooi maar saai!! Moet het denk ik nog een keertje luisteren om de bijzonderheid ervan in te zien

Mooie introductie voor ambient muziek. Erg bijzonder hoe dit al 50 jaar oud is en zo futuristisch klinkt. Voor nu een 4 maar kan in de toekomst prima een 5 worden.

The transition between classic rock and incorporating synth/industrial rock sounds is incredible. I'd love to hear Phil Collins talk about making this album. I think he hit the drum kit 17 times at most. As a huge Trent Reznor fan I can see where he may have found some inspiration from Eno. This album is awesome.

First song isn't great. I like St Elmo's Fire, The Big Ship, and Little Fishes. So far it feels like there are some good songs, one or two nothing songs, and some average songs. Every song sounds so different it feels like I'm shuffling a random playlist. The short interludes were interesting. I think this is one of the most engaged I've been on an album so far because I'm really trying to determine if I like it or not. I would say this is an enjoyable listen. I appreciate the originality, but I'm not going to listen to this one again.

Gives me the Willy's, but in a good way. I don't want my shoes tied, Eno! Such a trippy album with some crazy electronic noises and mysterious singing. Not sure if I would pick to listen to any Eno albums in my free time, but i know I will definitely be happy to listen if any more come up. This album did drugs then listened to me

More of Golden Hours pls. This album is unique af I love the rock/ambientness it's a jam

Decent.

Bizarre album, not even sure what to say

Too much fretless bass and the singing reminds me of Pink Floyd. It's a shame. I really wanted to love this one. I don't consider these songs to be minimal or even really ambient, either. Perhaps at the time of the album's release they were? For me the songs with vocals sound too druggy and the instrumentals veer into new age whale sounds territory.

Love a bit of Eno baby! This wasn’t his best ever but it was good. Couple of duff tracks but overall it was a pleasant listen.

A surprisingly fun album! A lot of funky sounds with the altered instruments that Brian employed on the songs, and each of the vocal/less ambient tracks are refreshing as you move through the track list. 8/10

It's pretty crazy that this album was recorded in 1975. There's a lot of modern ideas here. For the most part I found it pleasant to listen to, but there was nothing really that grabbed me except for the track "Everything Merges With the Night" which I really loved. I can see a lot of influence on Smashing Pumpkins in that track.

I understand they wanted to include Brian Eno because he pioneered ambient music. But why do I need to listen to this pre-ambient uninspired prog album?

Progressive and good sounding. Rounded up to a three

Not even Eno's best album... :)

Struggled to get this to 3. Not much spark.

pretty alright, interesting stuff

Bastante rollo.

Interesting

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.

I understand how influential Brian Eno is and maybe I would enjoy some of his other albums more, but this just didn't do it for me. I did like some of the songs, but it's not something I would go out of my way to listen to again.

An album I suspect I need to explore further before making a final decision. There is curiosity value to it and you can see clearly the roots for later work with Bowie and Talking Heads.

There's no denying that Brian Eno is a music legend, he is responsible for some of the best known masterpieces, ever. I really enjoyed the experimental nature of this album, and whilst some tracks did give me "alarm clock at 5am vibes" others were the perfect backing to my day.

I am a Brian eno Stan

Good! I enjoyed the ambient and electronic instrumentals.

Seriously a fifth Brian Eno album?! Why?! I get it, it is ambient music. It was only 40 minutes long and I couldn't take it any longer so I skipped through songs. Just no.

Brian Eno makes weird songs, and the world of music is all the better because of it. He goes places where most musicians wouldn't even try reaching, but the end result never suffers from being inaccessible or too avant garde. Thank the music gods for his solo stuff, for his influence, and for the work he's made with a lot of our favorite artists. Standout tracks were Sky Saw and I'll Come Running.

Very, very unique album. Unfortunately, most of it doesn't land for me. Too many ambient sounds does not a cohesive song make for me. With that being said, there are a few times where it does all come together for me. Favorite track: Zawinul/Lava

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

Particolare

A bit wishy-washy. Another album where I'm not quite sure what it's doing on the '1000 best' list....

A weird and surprising album. Definitely liked the first half better but I can appreciate the craftsmanship! Saved tracks: In Dark Trees, The Big Ship, Golden Hours

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

4,5

One of the most boring musical experiences of my entire life

Sorry Brain couldn't get into it

Took me by surprise, wasnt expecting all the jazzy bass and such. Certainly a forward-thinking engineer in the studio but I just didn't like any of these songs. Nothing grabbed me.

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.

Just when I thought I didn't know anything about Brian Eno along comes the title track, and can confirm, yes it's from Arena... So apparently it's seminal, it's certainly technical. It's pleasant that's for sure, but I'm struggling to be able to analyse much more of this.

fantastic

Pleasant but mostly unmemorable.

Funny to see Phil Collins included with the cool kids invited to play on this album. They recorded this just after the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tour ended. Back then Phil was a cool guy to have in the Stu-Stu-Studio. The record buying public passed this off as weird and "not my style" when it was released. I also think it's weird and it's not my style. I don't think it was anyone's style when it was released. It wasn't supposed to be. It is a highly creative and well played album.

I like the textures and minimalist feel. Robert Fripp makes great contributions, remiscent of what he did for Bowie a couple years later, especially on the openning track. Phil Collins, I've always found to be a highly creative drummer - it's a shame he decided to pick up a microphone. Speaking of picking up a microphone I'm not sure if it's Eno's voice or phrasing that I find off putting but I could barely listen to his singing, and for that I deduct a point.

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.

Det går vildt for sig

Loved this. Great soundscapes, interesting, well recorded.

Goddamn I love me some Brian Eno. That's been one of the real surprises as I've encountered the albums on this list is how often he shows up in various roles, and how much I like what he does. It helps that I really enjoy ambient music. Another Green World is not my favorite Eno album, but it's great just like all of the others. He runs through a diverse set of styles, but it always sounds like him, and it's good throughout It's so weird that there was so much great music made during the 1970s, and yet all I ever heard on the radio growing up was Zeppelin and Foghat. I'd file a class action lawsuit if anyone other than me seemed to care 4/5

Ian Breno. Other Ween Gran.

castanet guitars and Leslie piano have never sounded better. Or worse. nor has the gorilla on drums

What a great album. I really enjoyed the opener and all the tracks leading up to the incredible The Big Ship.

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...

Artistan Banger récidiviste

très appréciable reviens quand tu veux

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.

This is some wild stuff; I really dig creative ambient music like this for focusing and getting into a creative groove. I always look up the artist on wikipedia and read about them for these selections, and I learned that Brian Eno invented the oblique strategies card deck! Sounds like this guy might be pretty familiar with LSD and it's effects on the mind :-p Some of this stuff reminds me of King Crimson

Pop rock. Original.

Another Green World is the fourth album recommended for Brian Eno on this list for me. I still generally like his work, but this album is like the others I have listened to in that the final rating is a little mixed. The album is uneven, particularly when it comes to the tracks with vocals. "I'll Come Running" is the track I'd probably skip on a re-listen. I don't think I can round up to a full four stars, but I liked a lot of what I heard.

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

Me hace acordar al gabi nervi

Nogmaals luisteren

Like Pink Floyd, but without Pink Floyd

Holy cow. I had Brian Eno 4 days ago. I’m not a big fan of Brit glam. But this one is the beginning of ambient music.

It was ok. I thought it would be a bit more trippy than it was, but it was quite tame.

It's hard to say what this album is. Apparently it marks a transition from rock to ambient music in Eno' canon of work. Well, I don't know anything about that. It exists. It's fine. Quite nice in many ways. That's all I have to say about it. Rating: 2.5/5 Playlist track: The Big Ship Date listened: 17/01/23

Thought I would enjoy this album a lot more than I actually did. I'm a big fan of Eno's work especially on Remain in Light. I didn't enjoy a good few of the songs on this album but I respect Eno for experimenting with sounds even though there are a few pop tracks on this album that weren't bad at all. Overall 7/10

Great

Odd and wonderful

Great!

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

Ça m'a semblé court! J'entendais à travers cet album l'influence d'Eno sur les artistes qu'il a produits ou qui lui ont succédé. Le côté ambiant à son meilleur, qui a parfois été dilué par la suite.

I tried to listen to 3 different songs and could not get through them. If you are into mainly bass with synthesized random sounds on top, this is the album for you but not for me.

This sounds like something that would be behind a montage of plants growing in fast forward

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)

Not my favourite Eno album, as it falls between his more prog-glam Warm Jets material and the full-on flotation tank later ambient works like Music For. And growing up in the UK, the Arena music (title track) feels very dated now. So it falls between two stools and for me takes the less interesting aspects of each style - there’s no full on energy of tracks like Third Uncle and the ambient stuff is still a little too busy. But an interesting document of the move from one phase to the other.

Fripp, John Cale, erm Phil Collins. Fripp's guitar contribution makes the album. You can hear how Bowie wanted him to do the work on Heroes. I like the idea of how Eno was working against pop music at this time. Especially given his Roxy background. This sounds like a bridge to punk in ethos, but most definitely not in substance. He's not the greatest songwriter, but he knows how to put a song together

Eclectic, some very ambient pieces. Enjoyed the mellow BBC indent bit.

6.5/10. bien pero bueno tampoco nos vamos a hacer los locod

Weird is good

Super boring

very good while working

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.

Interesting. I don’t think I’ll come back to listen to it again, but I’m not mad at what I heard

4.5

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

Cet album du récidiviste Brian Eno m'a un peu créé la même sensation que lorsque je me sers mon café chaque matin. Vous pourriez vous dire que ce moment est agréable, il n'en est rien. J'ai déjà horreur du mécanisme des cafetières à l'italienne, et celle dont j'ai fait l'acquisition fuit de partout lorsque j'essaie de verser le café dans ma tasse. Je dois ensuite éponger chaque recoin de la cuisine et cela me met en rogne au moment de démarrer la journée. Il en est de même pour Brian, que j'ai passé mon temps à éponger péniblement tout au long de cet album.

Je pense que le cas Brian Eno a déjà été suffisamment abordé. Mon camarade d'écoute robhuissière retrouve en lui la figure paternelle qui lui fait défaut depuis tant d'années, ce qui explique ses notes on ne peut plus généreuses (pour rappel, je suis le petit préfèré du père de robhuissière).

Notes - Second Brian eno album on here - Featuring Robert frappe, Phil collins, John cale - Much more stripped back and ambient focussed than here come the warm jets - More emphasis on piano and synth pads - Eno’s vocals are very reserved and used more as texture than anything else - I started this album definitely not in the right headspace but it really just sucks you in Fav - Golden hours - Synths feel like an ear massage, and I love the little plinky touches and guitar Least fav - Over fire island - Feel like it was missing something 4.5/5

This is the second album that I've gotten from Brian Eno, and the first one I really really disliked. This one hasn't been much better so far. Sounds like random atmospheric noises and very experimental. This album is better than the first one of his that I listened to, but not by much. Not a fan.

Treads the line between the genius and the eccentric, and not so carefully. It also demonstrates where U2's best albums came from.

Exactly what you can expect from Eno. Ambience. Not a bad album to have in the background.

Because Eno strays from his own ambience niche by incorporating some normal songs with vocals in this album, it has to be compared to all the albums out there. And this is where the album fails to convince, it's just very unremarkable and forgettable

Eeerrrrmmmm uuuuhhhhh

Enjoyable tracks with some structure and groove, not as alien as you might assume.

ok for background, but fairly boring and dissonant

not the biggest fan of music that doesn’t have much as far as lyrics go but this was an exception

18th October 2022 Listened in the afternoon and finished in the morning of the Wednesday. Watched Blonde in the evening. Ethereal and magical, the production is clean and sharp. 3.5 if I could.

He made good things at that time

This album isn’t perfect; some songs are better than others, but MAN this album is years ahead of it’s time. Could have been released today and it would be just as relevant. “The Big Ship” a banger.

I really enjoyed this, an artist I have never heard of, but yet had a big influence over modern music, it’s a list of accomplished musicians on the record sleeve as well It’s one I would listen to again

Art pop. Ambiental. Me ha gustado. Un 4.

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!)

The 70's, man -- did people really decide this was fun to put on and sit around and listen to? Maybe it's more fun if you do drugs at the same time

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

Another Brian Eno album 🙄 I definitely enjoyed this album more than I have his others -- it had good flow and definitely was more interesting to me than the others I've listened to. The music still tends to fade into the background though.

Enough Brian Eno, not good

I’d be ok if I never listened to any Brian Zeno ever again. I just think his sound is annoying.

Some of it weird, some relaxing, probably won't come back.

It’s not terrible - but like some other solo Brian Eno albums - does it need to exist?

The blueprint for indie prog rock. Weird in a sort of cool way. It drags a little bit but is overall a fine experience. Especially to my fresh ears having NEVER really listened to Eno previously.

Not my fav Eno, but a good one.

This is now my third Brian Eno album and I just don't get it. This is pretty bland bad shit. It's not interesting and it's so boring musically.

Honestly forgot I was listening to it while listening to it.

Good production, long as hell

Pop elegante y fácil de escuchar. Buena voz e instrumentalmente, correcto.

Not my tempo

There's another green world. The world of snake guitars, desert guitars, choppy organs, spasmodic percussions, uncertain piano, and of course unnatural sounds. Observe those critters in the strange world. Sombre reptiles, little fishes, spirits drifting... trying to create something. A formless, directionless sound. But I'm telling you, everytime the sound gets full and complete, it's sublime. It's otherworldly, you might say.

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 actually bought this album on vinyl probably 30 years ago, and I have to admit I've hardly listened to it. It was good to revisit though. Some interesting stuff on here, although it sometimes veers into elevator music territory. Not a fan of Eno's voice though. 3 stars.

What a disappointment.

I liked this more than I was expecting to.

An album-length equivalent of when you’re over at a friends house and he asks you to listen to a riff/lyric/synth sound he’s excited about and then you have to sit there and nod politely while waiting for the whole ordeal to end

Weird. A bit much. But you can find some gems in there still

This felt like listening to a playlist on shuffle. A nice mix of some of the best and some of the worst songs ever created. Eno's music always gives me vibes like I should be listening to it in one of those sensory deprivation tanks to get the full experience, because I kind of have trouble focusing on the more ambient tracks.

It's good but not my type

I love this. Love it.

Nice Mike Oldfield/movie soundtrack vibes. Pretty good.

This wasn’t as way out as I was expecting and I enjoyed it. I think I even recognised a track from a soundtrack. Solid 3*

This was hit and miss. Like some of the more ambitious numbers...

Banger album, loved it. 9/10

Meh. Ok album, no stand out tracks. Its OK for relaxing, I guess. 3/5

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

Never properly listened to Brian Eno. Minimalistic cover seems to suggest some minimalistic music, but after another stretch of mediocre UK based boomer rock, I'm just hoping for something different. Let's go! Well this was an assortment of unfinished musical ideas, some more interesting than others. Meh.. on to the next one.

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

I am hesitating in which would be my rating for this album. On one side, I found very interesting songs, with creatives ways of incorporating sounds, that you note left a legacy in future bands. On the other hand, I found part of the album really boring.

Noises

4.5

No me llega

Not much here for me beyond the guitars, which made me think about Big Red Machine. Excited for the more ambient stuff though.

Great background music, it's hard to dislike but it's not easy to get excited about it either.

This slowly faded into the background as my attention waned. I liked what I payed attention to, and I’ll probably listen again. I like and enjoy some Roxy Music and Brian Eno. But mostly for, well, ambiance.

It was fine. Nothing stood out.

I liked the other Brian Eno one we listened to more than this one. It's fine, but I don't see putting it on again.

Pan Eno na produkcji pog, Pan Eno na wlasnych albumach residentsleeper, tak najkrocej mozna strescic ten album, bo jest to kolejny eksperyment popowo elektroniczny od niego, ktory sie przewija przez lite, tym razem jest jego trzeci studyjny krazek z 75, tym razem mniej osob bierze udzial w nagranaich, wiec jest o wiele bardziej minimalistycznie, ale nadal rownie eksperymentalnie, wiec juz widac tutaj zaczatki do windowych melodyjek, nie ma co patrzec na creditsy, bo mozna tam znalezc takie kwiatki jak wezowe gitarki, czy niepewne pianinka, wiadomo eksperymentalny material, 14 utworow na 40 minutach daje pole do tych doswiadczen na muzyce, o ile instrumentalne kawalki sa jednoczesnie przystepne dla sluchacza, a nie usypiaja jak to bywa czasem w ambientach, tak wokalne utwory z Panem Eno sa czyms co tylko z duza odpornoscia na wyspiarskie akcenty, a moze nawet nie same akcenty, ale malo jest wokalistow brzmiacych tak nijako, na plejke lofikowa dodam sombre reptiles, z ktorego slychac fajny efekt echa na dalszej scenie, robiacej miejsce dla elektryka z przodu, jest to jeden z utworow zagranych w calosci przez pana Eno, a troche ich tutaj jest na tej plycie, na takich instrumentalach najlepiej slychac jego talent produkcyjny i kompozytorski

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

Two Eno albums on here? Really? I feel about the same now as I did before.

Now I know where ratatat came from Good album to work out to. Very calming

I was expecting something way different than I ended up hearing, and for the better. Didn't have time to write up a track by track review, but this has made it into my rotation.

Good album. What makes it great is that was made in 1975 and sounds like it was made in the last few years.

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

Wierd and wonderful, but not really an album of actual songs. Sounds like an audio showreel of production techniques, which it kind of was. Bits of some songs sound like later Radiohead, which is again no bad thing!

Eno's early solo records feel like the work of someone who's heard about pop music, been told about pop music and how it generally works, decided to have a go at doing that himself and... wound up making something else. This may be where he comes closest, which means it's still kind of removed from "actual" pop. Fantastic stuff, though, and appropriate that I got this one on Eno's birthday too.

Much more listenable than my previous Eno but I still can't really get excited about it. Probably would make a great soundtrack to something.

Still great

Another artist I'd heard a lot about but never sat down and listened to an album... And am glad I did, it has a lot of the atmospheric "ambient" sounds you'd expect, but I have to admit I thought it was going to be a lot more boring! Layered, doesn't outstay its welcome, a real pleasure to listen to.

2/5 nope

Three levels: Sound quality that becomes more and more crystalline, assimilation of electronics that are now on a par with traditional instruments, and the "alienation" of atmosphere that transforms each song into an increasingly complex abstraction. (7/10) FT: The Big Ship, Golden Hours

Bara ágætis plata, rann ljúft í gegn.

Áhugavert frekar en beinlínis skemmtilegt. Nokkur fín lög samt. Myndi sennilega hlusta aftur

Get the Eno hype, not sure I want to listen to this album again though.

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 the third album by Brian Eno. It marked his transition from rock music toward ambient instrumental music. This album in particular can be described as art rock/pop with a dash of minimalist ambient music. This album is calmer than previous Eno albums, with melodic instrumental sections and lyrics on only 5 tracks. Although the critical reception for the album was favorable, it failed to chart in any country besides New Zealand. It seems like many listeners - including myself - were looking for something more fast paced than this dream-like escape into a peaceful, mirrored dimension.

Yeah not really it. Great producer for U2 and can hear some influence among their work, but most of this sounds experimental electronica/rock. 3/10.

Easy to listen to while also kind of out there. This is a good space to explore.

Like this early post Roxy stuff so much more than his later ambient approach. The King Crimson like guitar led (not surprising with Robert Fripp on Guitar) tracks are so much more fulfilling than some of the more sparse tracks. You can track Eno's evolution from Here Come The Warm Jets to Ambient 1(Music for Airports) on this bridging album. Loved "St Elmo's Fire" With Fripps "electric" guitar playing, title Track "Another Green World" which is familiar as the title track for the BBC arts strand "Arena" and "I'll Come Running" A good album and can see why it is on this list.

I feel bad, but I just can't quite get into Eno mode. I so want to, but I just can't get the key to work in the door.

Eno ugh of the Eno.

Sounds pretty Eno to me

solid shit

The more I hear this album, the more I love it. A year ago I never even heard of Brian Eno. Now, after hearing this and a couple others from this list. I think I’m becoming a fan. 4/5.

Charming little villages of sound.

Slightly unnerving quiet gaps between tracks and not enough songs on the tying of shoelaces loses a couple of points. Still creates an interesting "soundscape". Decent .

Was not a fan. Super atmospheric and felt like it was a shitty movie soundtrack. After a 2nd listen through I found that the 2nd half was ok at best

This album is decent. Some interesting early synth sounds, but not much that really held my attention overall.

Ok album. I tend to like it more when Eno is part of a collaboration more than when he's solo.

As the cover art implies, this is a very quirky, artsy record with strange sound design and production, but it is pretty captivating. Some of the more straightforward songs with Eno's singing sound too goofy ("St. Elmo's Fire", "I'll Come Running", "Golden Hours"), I am much more into the songs focusing on creating fascinating soundscapes ("In Dark Trees", the gorgeous "The Big Ship", "Sombre Reptiles").

I like how this is kind of a best of both worlds situation- Eno is really embracing his newfound appreciation for synth/atmospheric music, while still making a couple of tunes in the vein of Roxy Music and his earlier solo stuff. I found myself geling more with the latter this time, but his minimalist stuff is still pretty impressive to listen to. I can understand if it’s not your thing or if you’re so used to later electronic music that you find it derivative, but I’m all in. Still, this is never going to raise above “sometimes” music for me. B+

Kinda all over the place, but in a good way. This eclectic approach has varying results, but my interest is always piqued and my patience is frequently rewarded. AGW finds efficient and adventurous means to its earworms - it’s texturally rich, diverse, and unabashedly quirky. Songs that didn’t click immediately fell into favor after just a couple spins, a testament to Eno’s strange yet comforting pop sensibilities. 4

Looking at the production of this album, it's amazing. Overall, however, the songs don't stand out a ton to me. I really love the ambient stuff far more than the lyrical pieces, and so that's where I feel the album shines.

That was definitely music, and I listened to it…

Jälleen kerran vaihteleva levy joka liikkui paskasta hyvään ja takaisin. Enemmän sitä skeidaa.

Next

Shite

not really very good this.

A sadness trickles down her tits. She sighs. "Nico, find me a new lover. Mangus has the ball sack of a child and it's repulsed me to my core". Nico unleashes a thunderous boff and sets upon his journey. "Deborah, I will find your king. By golly, if it's the last thing I do, I will find you a new penis to lick your gravy off."

A wonderfully sumptuous, impressionistic dream world.🍭

I really enjoyed Here Come The Warm Jets when it came up on this list, so much so that I went out and bought it. It didn't enjoy this one quite so much. Maybe it is a grower but on first listen it felt to me like a lot of half baked, half realised ideas.

Ey yo Bri, stick to producing

Nomas para saber

Nice mellow. ambient album to relax to

zzzzzz - what on earth is this? audio wallpaper, and not especially pretty stuff either

Brian Eno just doesn’t do it for me.

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.

Pretty weird prob rock album. Never really felt like it had a groove and didn’t enjoy much of it. The instrumentals felt like they were weird to be weird. Nothing special about the lyrics either. 1.9/10

there was something very creative here. i didn't like all of it. but i appreciated it.

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]

spacey instrumental music man should have been born when computer synths were more abundant

Eno shows off his production skills in this smooth and inventive album. Despite not having a timeless single, the album flows so smoothly with smaller syncopations and artistic flourishes that blend so well with his poetic lyrics.

An interesting one, I think I like it? In dark trees/the big ship are a highlight for me. Surprising it came out in '75

Genre: Art Rock 3/5 From a musical history standpoint, there are few more pivotal to pop/rock than Brian Eno, who was a big mover and shaker in the music scene. Eno was a pioneer in ambient music, something that hadn’t been truly explored in mainstream music before. Another Green World is heralded as a masterpiece of the form, and one of the all-time greats from the decade, but to me is a little too full of itself, and a little too uneven in all the wrong ways. A few great songs littered amongst short bursts of electronic ideas that don’t fully pan out. While I may not have enjoyed this as much as I had expected (or hoped) to, I recommended this for others who are interested in listening to as much recent music history as possible.

Pretty good - distinctive sound

Heel relaxte pop-muziek. Klinkt aardig, maar geeft mij nog niet die wow-factor. Favoriet is "St Elmo's Fire". ***

Ive heard his name before but have no assumptions. edit this is so bad. two stars. I had to skip a song of theirs also it sounds like im at the dentist.

2nd listen. I'm really beginning to enjoy this album. Standouts: I'll Come Running, Sky Saw, St. Elmo's Fire, Zawinul Lava (sounds very much like the "song" from his ambient music album).

not bad

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!
