Brian Eno suggestions
Posted by: Dozey on 11 July 2013
I find a distinct absence of any Brian Eno in my collection. What do you think are his best efforts, or most approachable stuff?
I personally love his early stuff. Good albums are
Here come the warm jets
Another green world
In recent stuff , have a Look at
Panic of looking
Small craft on a milk sea
Also have. Look at Eno and David Byrne, everything that happens will happen today
Thanks Cbr600. I will investigate. I see he had a collaboration with John Cale which I might also look at.
Here Come the Warm Jets
Before and After Science
Taking Tiger Mountain (by Strategy)
These four are his most accessible and IMHO his best.

I have a personal love of Ambient Music for Airports, but "ambient" is to be taken seriously. Agree that the 4 above are the best, though.
I also like his collaboration with Bowie called Low
Also worth looking at curiosities 1 and 2 and also Thursday afternoon
If Interested in Eno colaborations also have a look at
Harold budd- the pearl and also
Robert Fripp - beyond even
He has also one ome ork on a various artists album called Angels in the architecture, with a couple of good tracks
I have a suggestion for Brian Eno but probably not one the OP was looking for. To misquote Mark Twain: 'The omission of Brian Eno CDs alone would make a fairly good library out of a library that didn't have a CD in it'.
I'm with you there Mr Marou!
Apollo is quite superb IMHO. If your system can cope with deep bass you are in for a treat.

A favourite of mine is his collaboration with John Cale, 'Wrong way up' which includes the marvellous Spinning Away.
Another Green World + Low (with Bowie, Glass - Symphony)
Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks
is my preferred ambient album....outstanding
If we're counting Low, which is a David Bowie album, let's throw in the first two Roxy Music albums, Roxy Music and For Your Pleasure.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions - even Mr Marou's, which I found rather amusing. I have the Roxy LP's.
I will look into Another Green world, Here come the warm jets, and Apollo to see how I get on with the ambient stuff.
