Another Green World

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

Really enjoyed this one! I've not really listened to Mr Eno, I only really know him from his collaboration with Bowie but I really liked this so I'll definitely dive deeper in the eno-verse.

Raiment excelent et meileur uque lautre que j’ai eu sur la lsite. 2 albums de eno en 3 jours. On voit beauxoup levoution sur celui ci. 4.25

Much like the other album.. it’s really good in places but wanders perilously close to self indulgent at times…. Yeah pretty decent!

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

Cool

BBC Two: The Album. Joking aside, Another Green World ingeniously manages to be bold and uncompromising and also pleasant and accessible. Perhaps Eno's most celebrated solo album, Another Green World is often seen as a transitional work between his first two, more overtly art-rock albums and the ambient work of his subsequent string of albums. In retrospect, Another Green World successfully marries the two mindsets, with the textured approach enhancing the melodies, rather than allowing them to drift. A curious point, made by plenty including Eno himself: Eno is not a tortured artist. His muse is not begat from struggle, indignation nor despair. Rather, his is the work of a sane, well-adjusted man who experiments because he finds it personally and creatively rewarding. In a sense, you could say his music is led by the head rather than the heart, but he does have a good head. Phil Collins drums on this.

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

This album should have been called "Disjointed Warm-up Exercises for Small Orchestras" - because that's what it sounds like. Shame on Phil Collins for participating in this.

Kind of beautiful

I didn't hate it.

This project has been my introduction to Eno, and I'm starting to understand the impact he had on music. This feels like a transitional album, and I do prefer the more traditional songs which preceded it. But there's also absolutely sonic magic, portals to other worlds heard. Those portals are one-per-song most of the time, but occasionally cross track boundaries.

Enough of this experimental noodling, its' ok is small doses but an album is too much.

I found it boring. Felt experimental just for the sake of it. Maybe on a different day, in a different setting?

Skemmtilegt sándskeip, Eno klikkar ekki.

oh brian. makes me want to make an indie coming of age movie thanks brian

Heel experimenteel op sommige momenten. Het is wat wennen aan het genre. Af en toe werkt het, maar vaak is het ietsje TE

More like Brian EMO, am I right? I like the song about excitedly running to tie someone's shoes and the one that inspired the Judd Nelson Brat Pack movie. Oddly enough, I don't care for many of the brief instrumental interludes a young Phil Collins plays on. As is the case with all things Eno, this is all about feel. And this feels right in the 2.5 wheelhouse. I still wish Eno covered "Man In Motion" from the St. Elmo's Fire film.

Meh

I've listened to this album at four separate times over about 15 years, each time coming away with a feeling that perhaps I'm missing something, as I just can't hear the qualities that make this a highly acclaimed album. To my ears, the instrumentals lack a melodic focus as they just don't really go anywhere, and the ones with lyrics feel like tuneless drafts of songs. This time around I'm secure in my knowledge that the music of Brian Eno and my own ears are just not that compatible. And I'm fine with that. Thanks anyway, Brian :-)

bah bah

Beetje te raar om er echt iets mee te kunnen.

Te weird en experimenteel.

Ambient ... This can really be interesting, but, apparently, specifically in that format, the implementation did not hook this one. I want to highlight 4 compositions: Sombre Reptiles (Best!!!), In dark trees, Spirits drifting, Golden Hours

Poxy Music

Finally discovered that the best way to listen to Brian Eno is in the background when you're working.

Hard to know what to make of this. Adventurous in its day perhaps.

Brian Threeno

We're always one step behind him, mgmt started strong and finished at a more somber sound 3.5

Pre-ambient Eno

lovely, spare and weird.

On the surface, this album verges on feeling unfocused and directionless, but Eno somehow makes this collection of songs feel purposeful and coherent. I'm really interested in the "oblique strategies" cards he uses to construct songs

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

Really wanted to give this 4 stars, but it really lost steam around track 10.

Se deja escuchar, pero prefiero sus discos de la serie Ambient. Lo más interesante descubrir la existencia de las "Oblique Strategies" que usaron para inspirarse. Le doy 2 estrellas.

Really liked it, nice atmosphere and all. Favourite track: everything merges with the night

Beautiful

I wouldn't have predicted that I'd like this. Ambient, prog sort of music isn't typically a thing I go for but this is pretty good. Super interesting tones and instrumentation. Rating only 3 because I'm probably not going to revisit this much - but definitely enjoyable/interesting.

This should definately be on the list but it wasn't for me.

There are clear echoes of Eno’s work with Roxy Music, David Bowie and Talking Heads/David Byrne on Another Green World. They’re the obvious references, I’m sure there’s tons more, not to mention the recognisable influences on the electronica and ambient music genres in general. There’s also what feels like a subtle oriental bent to many of the tracks which I quite like. The overall effect is a minimalistic, at times uneasy but overall dreamy, ethereal, and accessible oasis of calm for 41 minutes.

Unremarkable.

I'm kind of surprised I wasn't familiar with St. Elmo's Fire before now. That sounds like a song I should have heard? Regardless... I found myself engaged with most of this one and feeling surprised that it was over when it was over. Good stuff.

A lovely thing, this. By turns relaxing, touching, gentle and mysterious, it also happens to contain one of my very favourite guitar solos - that's Robert Fripp of King Crimson fame providing the singular contribution in the field to 'St Elmo's Fire'.

I dug this. I can’t make up my mind if all these songs make some sort of cohesive sense or not, but I didn’t dislike the experience. I also had no idea that the “St. Elmo’s Fire” song on here was called that, because ya know… 80’s movies. But I might like this Elmo better than the other one? Maybe? I don’t know - I probably should give that more thought before committing to that on the record.

I wasn't really sold on the last Brian Eno album here, hope this one is better. (and lol @ the German guy who called it "das Album für Flughafentoiletten", ich fand's auch Kacke) Ok this isn't really ambient like the last one. This is just weirdness. I guess it's kinda avant garde or something? I'm sure if I had the ear for it, it'd be a masterpiece... but I don't. I just prefer songs that sound like songs, I guess.

interesting to listen to, wouldn't put it on again

I like Eno a lot, though I think this is occasionally marred by the extremity of experimentalism. Sure beats the alternative of course.

Musical wallpaper

4.0

The first few songs made me want to claw my ears off. However, as the album progressed, it got more relaxing and ambient, which was nice to listen to. The only complaint I have of the later songs are that the voice doesn't contribute much and felt like it went against the style and feel that the backing music was going for. Favorite track: The Big Ship

I liked both the instrumental and lyrical songs on this album. Some of the sounds come across as annoying, but overall there are a lot of parts that are incredible. The lyrics can be a bit generic/unspecific in parts, but they at least pair well with the songs. Highlights: 3, 5, 8, 10, and 11.

Ok...

A thing of nearly perfect beauty. You can hear where this fits in the span of his career- a fascinating transitional artifact

This is a great album, tbf its a masterpiece you can loads of different sounds in here (notably bowie of course) as this was enos 'transitional' album, though its often called one of his vocal albums. Its actually more instrumental than vocal and i have heard it called impressionsitic and i dont really have a better term tbf, little fishes puts me in mind of koi, the big ship of a big ship and so on. Its been ages since i have listened to this and i forgot how 'proto-ambient' it is so its good to hear again. Its basically a masterpiece.

Electronic music from 1975, people back then must have HATED this. Really interesting music, well made, definitely before his time. I can't imagine the limitations he had to put this together back then. Lots of unconventional structures to the sound. Some songs are very ambient and great for background noise while working, others are more busy. Good album, first time hearing Eno's music though I've heard the name a lot.

Great background/study music for the most part. It's a nice album. I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure why it is on this list. I'll have to listen a few times more I think. In 2012, Rolling Stone ranked the album number 429 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Standouts: I'll Come Running (I guess?) It's the only song that I remember after listening to the whole album.

Overall was not a fan of the experimental sounds. Their were a few songs that had potential but ultimately were ruined by the wack sounds that the dude was using.

Interesting; a little electronic I would say maybe even techno but not hard techno. Little Fishes gives off Minecraft vibes. Fav: St Elmo’s Fire Least fav: Sombre Reptiles

Not for me

Hmm, I guess you had to be there.

Has a few good songs but overall not vibing it

Eno is entirely eclectic and absolutely brilliant. His use of sound is intriguing, interesting, and incredible. This album is a flowing journey that is calculated yet improvised and all things contradictory.

Background music. Meh.

Interesting collection of soundscapes and easy-listening music. Probably won't listen to it again if I'm honest.

A tad too ambient for me, not bad just not what I wanted

Not a huge fan, felt a bit like some kind of electronic Jazz I don’t get

Not the biggest fan. I enjoyed the instrumental a lot more than previous albums. Vocals too but it’s the same problem I had with other albums so I think I’ll give it a 3

not my fave to be honest, just a little boring.

Most boring one so far

Background music, nothing memorable about it, not my kind of thing. 2

I love Brian Eno’s ambient work but haven’t ventured much into his earlier rock. There are hints of brilliance here and there, but it’s just not the easiest to listen to. There’s a time and place for this album, and that’s hard to know when. Favorite: Golden Hours, Everything Merges With the Night, The Big Ship Least Favorite: In Dark Trees

Enjoyed the instrumentals, did not like the vocals as much. Im familiar with Eno's ambient music, but not as much with this style. It was close to Bowie, but it didn't sit as well with me.

I like it - alternating between dreamy "70s future" music and nice pop tunes. I'm not sure how memorable it is tho ... ? --> I wrote that before giving it a few more listens today and even though background listening might be what it is best for (that's not a bad thing!) I really started hearing more that I loved upon second listen. This one's a slow build which I definitely appreciate. That guitar (Robert Fripp!) in both St Elmo's Fire and Golden Hours really stands out. Another plus having Phil Collins guesting on a few cuts (but of course Phil guested on ~43% of other artists' from 1975-1985. Facts.). Speaking of Phil, I definitely hear some crossover between this album and Genesis' "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" which was released less than a year before this and on which Eno contributed some "Enossification" Initially was a strong 3 but I kept coming back to this one and has become a keeper. 8/10 4 stars

Sounds incomplete, cool ideas but lacking in anything that sticks

Sounds like it could have been released by an indie artist last year at times. Really great production and inventive synth sound that feels ahead of its time. Lyrics on Golden Hours and I'll Come Running are my kind of sad

hmmm

Some crazy cool stuff here. Very strange but very nice

Nicht so meins

🕰💿☁️

literally hate it. seems like one of those things where because it’s old and weird white men would be like “it’s a masterpiece”. my brother and i both hate it.

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

Dosta je poznato da je Brian Eno ima najviše prstiju u stvaranju Bowieve Berlinske Trilogije zato mi svakako početna pjesma "Sky Saw" podsjeća da bi pasala na album Low (1977) od Bowiea. Definitivno najdraža stvar sa albuma je St Elmo's Fire, iako sam više poklonik ambijentalnoj strani Eno-a pa je stoga Zawinul/Lava divnoća čista. Album koji je stvoren za ugodno, lijepo vrijeme, sa svojim elektronsko, artističkim popom sa mnogo ambienta koji ga je i kroz karijeru pratilo. 4.0/5

Again couldnt get through it!!!! Sorry 1 star

Pogged ryancore, eno is a very clever man and i like him :-)

Música ambiente en un álbum con muchas composiciones, de las que algunas están bien, pero me parece excesivamente largo y plano. Sin más.

i listened to this on vinyl and it was a vibe like idk

Calm rock with electronic music elements

Lovely little bald man, friends with Jarvis knows his stuff here

A universally acknowledged masterpiece, Another Green World represents a departure from song structure and toward a more ethereal, minimalistic approach to sound. Despite the stripped-down arrangements, the album's sumptuous tone quality reflects Eno's growing virtuosity at handling the recording studio as an instrument in itself

Love this record, Brian Eno has some great meditative music, but this one has a lot more pop sensibilities. Fav tracks: I'll Come Running and The Big Ship. Rating: 4.5/5

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

The title track is one of those tracks, like The Smiths' 'please please let me get what I want', that is really short but you wish could go on forever. It used to be the BBC Arena title song and I always associate it with the Van Morrison documentary 'One Irish Rover' which was shown on that platform, I even used to think it was a Van Morrison instrumental but since found it was Eno's. Interestingly Eno influenced the man's early 80's albums like Beautiful Vision and Inarticulate Speech of the Heart. Anyway this album is great and does a real good job of invoking a melancholy mood.

The non-vocal tracks are otherworldly, much like life the beauty is found in the mundane, repeating moments.

Not really my thing

Alright as background music but that's about it.

When first listening I thought "I don't like this too experimental, too minimalist, 1 star!" The I listened to "At Elmo's Fire" and thought "actually that's a good tune, 2 stars" Then I listened to "The Big Ship" and I was fucking transported! It makes it into my future movie project soundtrack. Awesome!

This goes on a bit too long and ends up a bit too much like background noise. Quite liked Golden Hours

I'll come running pas trop mal

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

Different sound

At turns weird and beautiful. Definitely before it's time.

Got more from this than any other Eno album I’ve listened to - lovely stuff and will come back to again for sure.

Didn't get it.

I was so excited after the first song and then it was slowly letting me down. What a pity.

Lovely

Very intensive and quite interesting

It's...different. I can appreciate it for it's time.

Synth, electro bubbles. Best Tracks: St. Elmo's Fire, I'll Come Running, Everything Merges With the Night

Probs wouldn’t normally listen, but interesting to listen to. Bit odd in a fun/ inspiring way. Wait it grew on me Defo needs the right context?? Calm/pensive (bath or high) for Favs : big ship and sombre reptiles for thinking

It was quite good but it's mostly instrumental so couldn't really focus on it. Can't really rate it highly since I can't be bothered to listen again, but it was quite beautiful music, with lots of variety and cool baselines.

Annoying asf lol

Ouf. Non merci

Crazy the type of sounds Eno was cooking up as far back as 1975. He's always pushing the frontier of mainstream. It makes sense he's such a pivotal player in the music behind the scenes.

All over the place. Kind of some 70s techno feel with some emo/pop singing? Really don’t know

the beginning of his ambient music phase

Random sounds

That was some smooth music

Very lovely ambient tranquil music

I actually really enjoyed this album. The soundscapes were soothing but also musically interesting enough to not let my mind wander too far. I have only ever encountered Brian Eno as a producer for others, and in that capacity I believe that folks of our generation are perhaps have encountered his influence even beyond our own realization in music and perhaps even film. Will definitely listen to this album and artist again.

Eh

Nope didn’t care for this music at all.

A universally acknowledged masterpiece, Another Green World represents a departure from song structure and toward a more ethereal, minimalistic approach to sound. Despite the stripped-down arrangements, the album's sumptuous tone quality reflects Eno's growing virtuosity at handling the recording studio as an instrument in itself (à la Brian Wilson). There are a few pop songs scattered here and there ("St. Elmo's Fire," "I'll Come Running," "Golden Hours"), but most of the album consists of deliberately paced instrumentals that, while often closer to ambient music than pop, are both melodic and rhythmic; many, like "Sky Saw," "In Dark Trees," and "Little Fishes," are highly imagistic, like paintings done in sound that actually resemble their titles. Lyrics are infrequent, but when they do pop up, they follow the free-associative style of albums past; this time, though, the humor seems less bizarre than gently whimsical and addled, fitting perfectly into the dreamlike mood of the rest of the album. Most of Another Green World is like experiencing a soothing, dream-filled slumber while awake, and even if some of the pieces have dark or threatening qualities, the moments of unease are temporary, like a passing nightmare whose feeling lingers briefly upon waking but whose content is forgotten. Unlike some of his later, full-fledged ambient work, Eno's gift for melodicism and tight focus here keep the entirety of the album in the forefront of the listener's consciousness, making it the perfect introduction to his achievements even for those who find ambient music difficult to enjoy.

3/5

Not many great tunes but the whole sound of this album is incredible

Everything is good except when he sings. 4/5 He doesn't sing a lot

avantgarde....1975? excellent nevertheless.

Quiero volver a escucharlo

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

Situations- und soundabhängiges Ding. Gestern abgelenkt im Auto gehört: 4,5. Heute halbwegs konzentriert auf schlechten Boxen im Büro: 3,2. Glaube, das hier muss konzentriert UND mit gutem Sound gehört werden, dann kickt das richtig. Legt jedenfalls einiges an/nimmt vorweg, wohin die Reise kurz danach für z.B. Bowie oder auf Music for Airports weiter ging. Beide auch nicht einfach, aber sehr gern von mir gehört. Entscheide auf Mittelwert und nehme mir fest vor, auch die hier noch genauer zu untersuchen (wenn endlich Zeit dafür ist, in ca. 970 Tagen ...)

Eh, it's alright.

What an album. I was not expecting this but in hindsight based on the album cover I should have. iTunes says this is rock but the only rock I hear is me mining to this very Minecraft-esque music. I love the way there are certain songs with vocals (wasn’t a fan) and other songs that are just short instrumentals. I got Minecraft vibes in Another Green World and Red Dead Redemption vibes in Sombre Reptiles. Just a very eclectic mix of synths and instruments to make this my most surprising album of the week. My Favs were Over Fire Island, The Big Ship, Another Green World, and Sombre Reptiles. Hope we get another album of his on here.

Instrumental prácticamente

J’ai bien aimé l’album, musique très créative et d’ambiance. Par contre, contrairement au jazz tu dois porter attention et vraiment être focus pendant l’écoute pour apprécier. Par contre je ne comprends pas que cet album est dans le palmarès bien qu’il soit bon. Il s’agit vraiment plus d’une musique de niche qui ne joint pas monsieur tout le monde. Je l’évite st-elmo fire, golden hours Je lévite i’ll come running (pas mal la Seule toune normale) sombre retire et in dark trees

Weird proto-electronica sounds on the first track, though the drums sound way better played by a human. Also the bass is doing some weirdness. St. Elmo's Fire is such a weird track, I love it. wild and weird the whole way though.

What if my shoes don't need tying?

j'ai connu eno plus tard dans sa carrierre et c'Était meilleur que cela

Certaines pistes ont une sonorité très cinématographique. Je pourrais facilement placer quelques pièces instrumentales dans un film de science fiction et d'autres me font simplement demander mais pourquoi ?! Album plutôt varié, peut-être un peu intense à écouter à 7h25 le matin.. On dirait que je suis tout le temps sur le bord d'aimer ça mais je ne suis pas certaine.. Mention spéciale pour sombre reptiles qui est parfaite pour faire de l'écriture automatique.

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

“I’ll come running to tie your shoe”. What a line for the ages. Torn, healed, regrown- Brian is all over the shop with some interesting industrial sounds, but not that appealing to me

Interesting electronic sounds nothing out of this world but not bad

Meh. I have never liked his voice. I do like "King's Lead Hat" and "Baby's on Fire", but those songs are not on this album. It's not a terrible album, it's just not to my taste.

Je peux comprendre qu'il a probablement eu une influence sur ses contemporains. Mais la seule question qui me venait en tête lorsque j'écoutais le CD c'était: Quel pénis as-t'il sucé pour être mis dans la liste des 1001 plus grands albums?

Not a bad album but I don't think I'll get back to it anytime soon. Respect, though.

Whoa, Eno! Brian Eno's a legend in his own right. Not only was he a member of Roxy Music (who, based on the one album we heard, I really like), he's also the godfather of ambient music, and apparently even came up with the term "ambient music." I know of him, but I'm not sure I've listened to any of his albums. This one blends ambient music with some more traditional rock/vocal tracks; maybe he wasn't quite ready to fully commit to ambient music in 1975. Who could blame him? Regardless, there are great songs on both sides of the coin here. I really dig the integration of more traditional drums and guitars with the electronic synth-driven ambient stuff. Very smooth ride. I'm all aboard this new green world. Favorite tracks: St. Elmo's Fire, Over Fire Island, The Big Ship, Becalmed. Album art: I like this a lot. Clearly some piece of art, not sure if it's famous or not. But I like the simple shapes and colors, and I always enjoy a good frame on an album cover. Font is nice too. 4/5

I've never listened to much of his work, but I liked this record! Some catchy songs, despite his 'atmospheric' rep

Super weird and uniquely Eno - at his transitional stage between rock and minimalism/ambient. Great album.

Semibängeri Emt, lugn klassisk rock?

Decent background music, disappointed that “St Elmo's Fire” wasn’t the track I thought it was.

Too chill... zzz...

Bit weird

Decent background jams

2.5 | Es un disco que se hace la vida difícil. Las primeras tres canciones no son nada amigables para la primera vez que se escucha, si se le da la oportunidad va avanzando a sonidos más etéreos y a mostrar la habilidad de Eno para hacer música ambiental. Todas las canciones muestran bastante maestría e ingenio tanto en su composición como en las técnicas usadas, especialmente para ser 1975. Mi problema es que sigue siendo un disco y música muy para situaciones en particular, es música ambiental super bien hecha pero sigue siendo ambiental, si no está uno de humor puede ser aburridísimo. Música muy interesante, letras sin sentido que hasta casi sobran. Ideal para cuando quieran subir un videito de 10 horas con peces en el arrecife a YouTube.

Great album. Second? favorite solo Eno album behind Here Come the Warm Jets. 7/10 1. St. Elmo's Fire 2. Another Green World 3. The Big Ship

Such gems! Wonderful, mellow, optimistic tunes to space out and focus to.

it was an interesting album, not one of my favorites.

It is certainly diverse and experimental... i think i like the ambient/instrumental pieces more than the lyrical ones (come running to tie your shoe?!?). They are creative, though doesn't fit as something i'll listen to more.

Surprisingly I liked a few songs off this album. I liked how he used a variety of different sounds and each song is very unique

Creo que mi problema es que no me gusta la música ambiental, pierde muy rápido mi atención y cuando la tiene me aburre. No niego que tiene sonidos y momentos muy agradables y que el disco como tal revolucionó muchas cosas en la producción y grabación, pero como experiencia queda sin pena ni gloria.

Prog rock not my favorite. Very arty and avant garde. I think it could grow on me though.

Lots of atmospheric instrumentals and things going on here. I don't necessarily enjoy it but I respect it.

This is more along the lines of what I previously thought Brian Eno did - weird sprawling mostly instrumental stuff. Some of the songs I enjoyed ("In Dark Trees" especially - something about that echoey horn sound that gives me the shivers I'm a good way) but overall I thought it was just so so.

Very good. Wonder what it sounded like when it came out.

weak

Not bad. Good background music. Seems like ancient ancestor of Blue Man Group.

Never listened to Eno before. The synth sounds are a lot more raw than I would have imagined. He apparently likes bass guitar. It's... interesting, and ahead of it's time, but this is not what my decaffeinated brain needs this morning.

Innovative to the max. Could clearly hear the origins of minimal electro, even techno. Some timeless tracks.

Urgh. Just sad whooshing.

Nice blend of songs with vocals and instrumental soundscapes. He was definitely listening to Cluster's "Zuckerzeit"

I like this album a bit more, there are a few tracks that I already knew, but overall it's still just... okayish for me. 3.5 to 3.

Ermm.. estem... pues o sea, como que wtf ???? La única que me gustó fue “everything merges with the night”, por eso se salva del 1

Que gran disco, a muchos les va a parecer lento y aburrido pero está lleno de arte experimental bien mezclado, si es un disco para escuchar cuando estés o quieras estar relajado y un must si te gusta el progresivo

Por ser Brian Eno me esperaba música para robots o algo así, pero me sorprendió muy positivamente y el disco iba bastante bien pero en Little Fishes se cayó un poco. Me gustó para dejarlo de fondo para trabajar.

This type of Ambiant music is not my type of Ambiant music. Some well know names in the music industry that have worked with Brian Eno on this album.

Gorgeous ambient music

experimental razoavel

Liked this a lot. Golden Hour, Another agreen World, Sky Saw. This album didn’t sound or feel dated. Maybe not keen on the shoe tying lyric but that’s ok. 4.5 stars.

It was ok

Funky, ambient background music. Good work music.

Another Eno Album. Die Herangehensweise finde ich ja nachvollziehbar, künstlerisch kommt allerdings selten was dabei raus. Besser als das Album für Flughafentoiletten.

a weird one. alot of background music. some wild bass in the front half.

A very strange album. Hated parts of it, was into other parts.

Such an important album to me, really opened doors in terms of teaching me to appreciate new forms of electronic/ambient music. Without this I don't *get* The Talking Heads or Bowie. And on its own, it's so emotionally potent; The Big Ship and Zawinul/Lava can, under the right circumstances, make me tear up.

Tried a couple of times but just slipped into the background.

Interesting album. Had a very ambient feel to it, which was nice. Half of the tracks were *just* music; I enjoyed those tracks more than the lyrical ones, although none of it turned me off. Still, not much here that would draw me back again. This leaves it in 2-3 star territory. I'll go with 3 for now.

Groovy as fuck. Great instrumentation, I don't know if I have heard something like this before. Favorite songs The Big Ship and Golden Hours. Enjoyed my listen, 5/8.

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

Not my favorite but did appreciate the different sounds

mostly ambient compositions quite decent but not to my taste

Made for a scary soundtrack to a strange evening

Yeah, no. This was boring as hell. Just ... nothing much interesting at all. Even as background music, it bored me to tears. The only reason this isn't getting a single-star review is because the production is excellent. And it should be. That's truly Eno's greatest strength.

Instrumentalt, soundtrack, stemningsfyldt

Mostly ambient pop, some of which is pleasing and some of which is very much not. Very hit and miss. Best track: The Big Ship

C'est un peu weird, mais la basse est SOLIDE! Il y a beaucoup d'expérimentation. Grosse découverte.

Good background music for work. Quite unique.

Some real standout ambient tracks, but all the vocals haven't aged as well 7/10

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

sounded someone set a keyboard to sound effects mode and then sat on it
