Speaking of "The Big Ship," Eno pretty much owns that sort of wistful chord progression, doesn't he? Kind of his own variation on the doo wop progression. He comes back to it a lot in various projects, and explores a similar sort of ideas in "Spinning Away," or even the beginning of "Where the Streets Have No Name," say.

Best for those may be I want to say the Eric tamm book, or maybe More Dark Than Shark? Or Geeta's book, for that one album. a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff, the making of stuff, has come out in bits and spurts over the years, usually anecdotally.

Yeah, just pulled it out and the Tamm book is the most detailed about the actual process. Very technical/musicological at times.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 12 July 2014 03:02 (ten years ago) link
Still, it's disappointing in terms of really saying much about his actual working methods.
For all his theorizing on Japanese gardens and such, honestly, I would be far more interested in a master class on how he processes sounds or programs his DX-7.

You know, I've not ever heard Brian Eno give a bad interview. I interviewed him once, briefly, and even that was endlessly fascinating. But really, the guy just seems like he's always thinking and engaged and able to get his ideas across in a spontaneous, funny, smart way. Like, this random interview:
http://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/16575/1/brian-eno-bodybuilding-and-brazen-tunes
It's full of great stuff!
DD: Is there something ironic about putting on a piece as still as 77 Million Paintings in somewhere so unstill? Brian Eno: Well, when I lived in New York I made my quietest music. The record On Land (1982) I made here. And one of the things you do when you make a piece of art is you try to make the world you'd rather be in. Do you know what I mean? You try to make up for the deficiencies of the place that you're in, because New York is a hellish place to live. It's so noisy and always broken and always being mended and abrasive and disturbing. So one of the things you want is to find a little place where, 'Swooh', you can breathe out for a minute.[DD: Is it also a reaction to the increasing smallness of music?Brian Eno: Yeah, I think it is. It's sort of a reaction against headphones, which I don't like. I don't like having the music pressed on to my head. I like feeling I'm walking around inside it.

Brian Eno: Yeah, I think it is. It's sort of a reaction against headphones, which I don't like. I don't like having the music pressed on to my head. I like feeling I'm walking around inside it.
This, alone, is intriguing and inspiring enough to fuel several different strains of creative activity, should one choose to embrace any of its ideas.

When I was relatively young - say, 15, I'd guess - someone gave me a cassette with "Another Green World" on one side and "Rain Dogs" on the other. I used to drive around listening to them, never once considering that both are pretty unusual car albums. Anyway, I never considered either album odd or exotic, at least not at the time. But then one day, not too long ago, within the past few years, something unscrambled in my head and I suddenly realized, huh, yeah, these albums are pretty strange. But I think strange really works in their favor in the "not dated" sense. They try so hard to do something different that they're totally at odds with the sound of the times (even though, sure, they absolutely sound very much of their time).

Love the Lovely Bones track – other than watching (enduring) it during the movie, I hadn't heard it.
And another voter for "The Harness"! My favorite from My Squelchy Life by a good distance.
I'd kind of love to do a ballot of lesser-known Eno cuts. I had a few on my real ballot but it would be great to see every recommend their 10 favorite obscurities. Can try to brainstorm a few today if others are interested.

― Neil Sekada (Jon Lewis), Monday, 14 July 2014 16:49 (ten years ago) link
I listened to a lot of previously unheard (by me) Eno for the poll, and I think my favorite has been Music for White Cube - http://whitecube.com/exhibitions/brian_eno_music_for_white_cube_duke_street_1997/
Eno has recorded himself two or three hundred times singing a single falsetto note held for as long as possible. In each instance he has tried, unsucessfully of course, to attain the same pitch. In this way the fallible human voice becomes the raw material for a sophisticated infallible software programme. This programme (called KOAN) allows Eno to impose about 150 possible instructions on the recorded notes in order to generate unique combinations of harmony, rhythm, tempo, vibrato and pitch. The resulting compositions have then been selected and recorded on CD.
Music for White Cube consisted of four CD stations which each played a unique CD cut with eight distinct tracks. Each CD station randomly selected and simultaneously played these tracks constantly producing unique combinations so that visitors never heard the same piece of music repeated. Like the generative system from which it derives, this symphony continually remakes itself in time.

― Neil Sekada (Jon Lewis), Monday, 14 July 2014 16:50 (ten years ago) link
I love "Against The Sky" on The Pearl but wasn't sure whether to include it in original or "An Echo Of Night" form.
"The Lost Day"* has always been my jam from On Land, but I listened in greater detail than usual to the album rather than as background or falling asleep music and the (subtle!) tunes of a few other tracks became more apparent, so I'll be listening for them. partly because of the addition of Hassell (4/1) or Material (4/2), I feel like the side closers work a little against the mood of the first 3 on each side which are more of a piece, but it's pretty perfect as is.
*also like Eno's lost day concept: the things that didn't come to be. which could be read as the road not taken, in contrast to Another Green World aka the ultimately fertile other road (or art process) taken. but in "the lost day" I think Eno was nostalgic for better(?) futures that failed to materialize: other green potentials (or even things we didn't get to do).
wasn't surprised that Karl Hyde and Eno started working together cos the chords in "Born Slippy" reminded me of "Always Returning".
