Who?Even if you don't know his name, it's a guarantee that you've heard some of Brian Eno's handiwork. Primarily known as a producer and trendsetting ambient musician, Eno has collaborated with everyone from U2 to the Talking Heads to... Microsoft? Yes, that little noise from Windows 95 was all him. Even at age 61, Eno continues to push boundaries and aid artists like Coldplay and Paul Simon...

Who doesn't love Mr. Eno's bodies of work/art? Although I hadn't heard of Underworld, I'm loving this stuff! Ran across this great article here. They also give a link for some cool samples off the upcoming release here. Also mentions a track he does with none other.... than..... you guessed it, Roxy Music! Can't wait for this!

when i touched down in phoenix last week, i had about an hour to kill before my next flight to austin. i plugged in my buds and flipped the switch to my player, knowing that the playlist i was on would grace my ears with something easy and comforting. funny enough, it was brian eno's 'music for airports.' all four tracks, in order, 48 minutes of ambient. i listened as i walked on the conveying ...

Anyway. just wanted to share one of my favorite early mornign songs with everyone. I'm wondering what songs everyone else likes to listen to to wake...

Seeing as how I'm up earlier than I want to be, I figured I'd share one of my favorite early morning songs with everyone, "An Ending (Ascent)" by Brian Eno. What does everyone else like to start their day off with?

Kate's post about CAN has got me fired up about ENO this morning (waving flag!) as though my mission to proselytize the MOGGERS has failed. Suddenly I realize that I have been sleepily neglecting my post. As though all the stealth and subterfuge were for naught.Today I take arms and we march headfirst into this melee.I really felt that it was time to expose the innocent citizens of MOG to "...
