Brian Eno has had such an influence on many different music genres. He was a keyboard and synthesizer player as part of Roxy Music in the 70s. He went solo in 1973 making art rock before producing ambient landmark albums such as Ambient 1 - Music for Airports (1978) and Apollo : Atmospheres and Sountracks (1983). The 1983 album he made for the documentary film 'For all mankind'. Here's the track 'An Ending (Ascent)' from that album....
Brian has worked with a host of artists including David Bowie, Paul Simon, Grace Jones, Depeche Mode as well as U2. He's produced seven albums for U2, mostly notably 'The Joshua Tree'.
There's a vast music catalogue of his to explore. He's only just released a new album on Warp Records called ' Drums between the bells' with the words of Rick Holland. It's definately worth a listen.
We've only touched on this artist here. We appreciate we'll need to cover him properly on EMG in the near future. After all, Eno is one of the original pioneers of ambient music. In the meantime, here's a few links if you want to explore this genius further....
