Woodbridge, Suffolk (1948 – present)
Brian Eno (born Peter George Eno (later adding St. Jean Baptiste de la Salle to his birth name) May 15th 1948 in Woodbridge, Suffolk) is a british self proclaimed ‘non-musician’, who has made contributions to the music community as an instrumentalist, composer, record producer, music theorist and singer. He’s commonly regarded as the father of ambient music, although he has worked in many genres and fields of music throughout his career.
Eno first came to prominence as the keyboard and synthesizer player and general sonic wizard in the glam rock and art rock band Roxy Music. After leaving Roxy Music, Eno recorded four highly idiosyncratic and original rock albums, later turning to more abstract sound-scapes on subsequent albums such as 1975’s Discreet Music and 1978’s Ambient 1: Music for Airports. Since then, he has released dozens of albums (many in collaboration with like-minded musicians, such as Harold Budd and Robert Fripp) which demonstrate his unique approach to music. He has, however, occasionally returned to the pop idioms which were more prominent in his earliest work.
His production credits include some of the most respected albums by Devo, Talking Heads, U2, Laurie Anderson, Paul Simon and Coldplay.
Contrary to popular belief, Brian Eno did not produce David Bowie’s popular Berlin Trilogy (Low, Heroes, and Lodger).

it completely does matter if he gets knighted or not, only for the fact that people would become more interested in his music. or would that of course be a bad thing? probably. WHO KNOWS.

I just re-read what I wrote and it sounds mad pretentious. What I'm trying to say is that the album is kind of awesome.

Another Green World is one of those pieces of art that never had a pulse as it was born immortal. One of the best things to happen to music ever.
