(March 2015) I have completed phase 49 of my “opus project,” in which I listen to an artist’s complete discography. This edition: BRIAN ENO. This was a long one; more than 50 albums. (If I had included the hundreds of albums which he produced, it would have taken me a year.) My favorite period is the mid-1970s, when he simultaneously put out eclectic glam-adelic rock albums and essentially invented ambient music. He continued (and continues) to innovate in many directions.
Favourite album (rock): Here Come the Warm Jets
Favourite album (ambient): Music for Airports
Favourite album (collaboration): Evening Star (with Robert Fripp)
Favourite song: Needles in the Camel’s Eye
