But seriously, I echo this sentiment, because Eno.

I haven't heard that one... worth checking out?thellama73 wrote:Inspired by this thread, I went out to buy whatever Eno record I could find. The only one in town was Someday World, the 2014 collaboration with Karl Hyde. Listening to it now. It's weird. Kind of an electro-funk feel. I think I generally like it though.

Re: Oblique Strategies - An Eno Mafia [SIGN UPS]
That's the wonder of Eno's work though. However misunderstood the genre of ambient is, Eno's ambient work paved the way for albums such as this (though you could argue there's some Tangerine Dream and Jean-Michel Jarre influences as well):
Absolute perfection. I seriously love this album to a degree with which I love almost no others.

Re: Oblique Strategies - An Eno Mafia [SIGN UPS]
Agreed completely. Ambient music has been very stigmatized and is often misunderstood completely. Ambient or ambient-esque electronic music holds a very special place in my heart for its unique ability to craft soundscapes that truly transplant the listener in another world. Some of my absolute all-time favorite albums are ambient albums, such as Global Communication's 76:14. They can be so emotive and expressive.thellama73 wrote:It's a shame that ambient music has come to mean those trite meditation CDs when Eno's work is so profound and beautiful. Plateaux of Mirrors is definitely one of his best.
Ambient music can be just as challenging and rewarding music as any other form of musical artistic expression, but the connotation that the genre holds among the masses is of the opposite.

Re: Oblique Strategies - An Eno Mafia [SIGN UPS]
Also, I was listening to Low and Heroes by Bowie while working on my Statistics Project earlier, and it reminded me yet again why the Berlin Trilogy is Bowie's best work (even though he has many spectacular albums). Brian Eno.

Yeah, I'm not too insanely familiar with his newer stuff either, but that one I checked out based on reviews and I am so glad I did.thellama73 wrote:I haven't heard any of his newer stuff, but that one and Lux both look good to me.

Re: Oblique Strategies - An Eno Mafia [SIGN UPS]
Ambient 3 I've heard a bunch too, but it just doesn't get the rotation of the other three. It's still fantastic, but I like it the least of the bunch.thellama73 wrote:What about Ambient 3? I like that one. I actually don't have Ambient 4. I've been meaning to plug a few holes in my ENo collection with that one, 801 live, the collab between Kevin Ayers, John Cale, Nico and Eno, Fourth World, Clsuter and Eno, and Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundscapes. Maybe after Christmas I'll go on an Eno buying binge.MovingPictures07 wrote: I've heard Ambient 1, 2, and 4 so many times I've lost track ages ago. Genius.
Oh man, you absolutely need to hear Ambient 4. It's the darkest of the bunch. Really awesome.
Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundscapes is really good too. Well, IMO you can't go wrong with almost anything with his name on it, which is a sentiment I'm sure you'll echo.
I don't have every album of his either, but I've heard quite a lot. I need to fill in the rest as well.
Did you hear Small Craft on a Milk Sea from 2010? It's very good.

Re: Oblique Strategies - An Eno Mafia [SIGN UPS]
Seriously, when it comes to musicians I admire and respect the most, Eno is up there really high. His influence on the development of music thereafter is so incredibly significant that it's impossible to truly represent.

Before and After Science
Another Green World
Here Come the Warm Jets
Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy
Of course, I also adore his ambient work, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, and his collaborations with Bowie.
I've heard Ambient 1, 2, and 4 so many times I've lost track ages ago. Genius.

Re: Oblique Strategies - An Eno Mafia [SIGN UPS]
Glad to be eventually playing another game with you both too, Dom and BR!
His ambient work is my favorite, but there's no denying his influence as a collaborator on all the other artists you mentioned as well.
Another Green World is a top 10 desert island record for me.
Good summary.thellama73 wrote:Yay! It occurs to me that some people not know who Eno is. He is a musician, singer, producer, conceptual artist, the inventor of the ambient music genre, he worked with Roxy Music, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Devo, U2 (ugh), Robert Fripp, Cluster, Harold Budd, and others. He wrote the startup sound for Windows 95. You should all know him and love him, and playing this game is a good way to start.
