Comment:

Brian Eno's 1970's work is represented in this arc. This may be my favorite period of Eno material - partly because this is where I discovered him, via David Bowie's landmark trilogy: Low,
"Heroes" and
Lodger.
Also included is a sample of Eno and Bowie's reunion on Bowie's 1995 Outside.
The trilogy is the core, though, and their influence and importance cannot be discounted; play any of those albums today and they still sound contemporary yet otherworldly.
Thanks again to G
and V; outstanding artwork by G.

I'm with valis on the Genesis track...one of my favorites. Mr. Eno is on my short list of artists whose work I want to dig into and explore. This looks like a great series. That G and V are a great bunch of guys, I tell ya. :-)

Great stuff all round, with one exception: I learned to loathe "Carpet Ctrawlers" when it was on the top 20 singles list at the station I (i. e. my parents) used to listen to at the time (I'm talkin' 1975 here) for about two years. They simply played the thing to death. Then again, I hate Genesis anyway . . . ;)
