Product Description

It's hard not to be fascinated by Brian Eno. Over his fertile career, he's been heralded as a glam rock god, the father of ambient music, a legendary producer, video artist, and doe-eyed guru of all things futuristic. But who is Eno, really? Despite his sprawling creative output and over 35 years of articles and interviews, he remains a frustrating enigma. His rabid global fanbase fiercely trades bits of information and homegrown interpretations on various sites, including Enoweb and Hyperreal. In 2004, Eno made two rare speaking appearances in New York; both sold out instantly.

It was the strange and mystical Another Green World (1975) that was the cosmic bridge between Old Eno and New Eno, between Rock and Ambient, between the guitar and the synthesizer, between the old world and electronic music as we know it. Another Green World was a total paradigm shift, an introduction to a new way of thinking: for Eno, and for the world of popular music. For this book, Geeta Dayal will interview Eno, and his many collaborators on this album. She'll dig into the album, excavate its odd past, and untangle how, exactly, it was a link to the future of electronic music - by foreshadowing how powerful, personal, and emotional this music could be.
