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!

The fest will take place at the Sydney Opera House (you know, that building that they always show in pictures of Sydney). The Eno-curated portion of this fest is titled Luminou...

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.
