Comment:

This piece of the Eno
series focuses on his post-'70's work, much of which was done with U2.
But he did far more in the '80's and '90's than produce and visualize some of the era's most commercially and artistically successful
albums, and the breadth of this work is thumbnailed here.
There are quite a few interesting projects represented on this disc; from his one-off with Elvis Costello (which makes one
wish they did more together) to his exquisite work with Harold Budd
to his reunion with Bryan Ferry to his brief encounter with U2 wannabes INXS.
Also, the arc-like nature of Eno's output is no more evident here in the way that he returns to 1980's "Listening Wind" in
1995's "Plot 180" (g.a.b. l@bs' ever-diligent ears pointed out the
nearly-identical tracks, produced 15 years and two bands apart from each other).
Thanks again to glabbas

Nice cover art! How did you make that? Good to see Eno getting his due as a master of production. Have you heard the "Passengers" soundtrack album that he did with members of U2? It has some nice tracks.
