Ahh...Mr. Eno ~

 

I have been interested in Coldplay for some time (not enthralled like most of you, was really spellbound by Dave Matthews but he sucks as of well...BTCS) and since I saw that Brian Eno was producing the latest CP album I have been checking out some of Eno's previous music. I must say, that Eno is darn near well...brilliant in his own right. If you don't know his music check out the following tunes, you will be pleasently suprised:

 

1 - An Ascending (Ascent) One of the best productions I have ever heard in my life

2 - Deep Blue Day - Very spacey but relaxing and enjoyable

3 - Golden Hours - Just fantastic

4 - This - Extremely catchy, check it out!

 

All of his work has alot of texture. I have come to appreciate Eno much more since I have started digging into his older stuff.

 

After listening to some of Eno's previous work you will certainly appreciate Viva La Vida as much as I have, especially 1:37 and onward.

 

Happy Listening...

Totally agree.

 

I was listening to Eno before I heard he was working with Coldplay, and I was naturally thrilled to hear he was working with them.

 

Everybody check out "This", "Just Another Day", and the songs mentioned above. There are others, too, but I can't think of them now.

I think you might mean An Ending (Ascent) and I completely agree, that's an amazing piece of music. I love songs that can just completely transport you somewhere else. That track always does the trick, as do numerous Sigur Ros songs.

 

Dark dark room + Good Headphones + The right music = Easiest form of travel (:

 

M.

An Ending (Ascent) is fantastic. I don't know if anybody here listens to the Talking Heads, but the 3 albums that Eno produced are widely considered to be their best (More Songs About Buildings and Food, Fear of Music, Remain in Light). Personally, Remain in Light is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in hearing something....VERY different.

Mhmm, where to post this. :thinking:

 

I think this thread is alright...

Brian Eno, Karl Hyde, Jon Hopkins, Leo Abrhams & the Necks

 

This is Pure Scenius!

 

Brighton Festival Exclusive

 

 

Brian Eno, Karl Hyde, Jon Hopkins, Leo Abrhams, the Necks

 

Genius is individual, scenius is communal. Here seven individuals come together to imagine new forms of music, realised over three consecutive performances. This experiment had its only other outing last year as part of Luminous at the Sydney Opera House. In This is Pure Scenius!, Brian Eno will be joined on stage by Karl Hyde, guitarist Leo Abrahams, synthesist Jon Hopkins as well as Tony Buck, Lloyd Swanton and Chris Abrahams who comprise Australian improvisation masters, The Necks.

 

Each concert picks up where the preceding one left off. Starting from a predetermined sequence of events, each performance allows the development of ideas across three concerts - sometimes quite similar, sometimes worlds apart.

 

Like a laboratory conducting an undisclosed experiment, This is Pure Scenius! is a combustible, must-see mix of intellect, ideas and musical innovation.

 

Karl Hyde is the poet voice of Underworld who assimilated techno into the art-rock tradition with frantic cut-up lyrics, eccentric humour and waves of improvisation. Jon Hopkins is a musical shapeshifter, composer, pianist and self-taught studio wizard who co-produced Coldplay's Viva La Vida. Leo Abrahams was discovered by Eno and has since worked with Nick Cave and Grace Jones specialising in generating ambient sounds. Tony Buck, Lloyd Swanton and Chris Abrahams - collectively known as The Necks - are recognised as being among the world's most consistently great exponents of improvised music.

 

'The theatre of the music-making process was as enthralling as the music itself.'

Brian Eno to issue album on Warp Records

 

Brian Eno will release his next album on Warp Records. Details are still sketchy, but all indicators point to an Eno CD being issued on the label later this year.

 

The pairing of the onetime glam/art-rock keyboardist for Roxy Music, who then became the godfather of ambient music, co-inventor (along with Robert Fripp) of the tape-delay system known as 'Frippertronics' and a mega-producer (Talking Heads, U2, Coldplay) with Warp Records is notable for many reasons, not the least of which being that, without Eno, works by some of the label's biggest names like Aphex Twin and Boards Of Canada probably would not have come into being. For more information on the Eno album, click here.

 

The news of Eno's signing with Warp Records comes in the wake of a blog post from guitarist Leo Abrahams, who wrote, "There's an album out soon by Brian Eno, with myself and Jon Hopkins... It contains the fruits of several years of jams between the three of us. I've not heard anything quite like it-- it sounds 'live' and 'alien' at the same time. Some things have been permitted to survive, which only Brian would have had the courage to let go, and it's so much the better for it." (It should be noted that the text has since been deleted from Abrahams' site.)

 

Abrahams has worked with Eno on several occasions, including the Eno/David Byrne album Everything That Happens Will Happen Today. Hopkins is an ambient electronic artist who has released music on Domino, remixed Four Tet, and worked with Coldplay.

 

Check out the video below of Eno, Abrahams and Hopkins collaborating live last year during the Eno-curated Luminous Festival.

I idolize Eno (obviously), but I'm actually much more excited by Hopkins role in this thing. Vewwy intewesting.

One of the most incredible things anyone has ever done..ever

I can't wait for the new album, will blow everything else out of the water for 2010

What I want to know is two things: For someone born only a few miles from where I live, how can he be so talented? And how come his parents thought Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno would be a good name?! :P

Just found this:

Brian Eno returns with new album, Small Craft on a Milk Sea

 

These days, it isn’t often you see Brian Eno and the word “first” in the same sentence. After all, the dude has accomplished a lot. But for his latest studio album, Small Craft on a Milk Sea, the legendary producer and ambient musician is indeed celebrating a first — his first album for Warp Records.

 

Due for release on November 2nd in the US and the 15th in the UK, Eno’s first new solo album since 2005’s Another Day on Earth sees the 62-year-old musical mastermind teamed up with fellow Englishmen Jon Hopkins and Leo Abrahams. Speaking recently with Exclaim, Hopkins revealed the collaboration was a multi-year undertaking.

 

“It contains the fruits of several years of jams between the three of us. I’ve not heard anything quite like it– it sounds ‘live’ and ‘alien’ at the same time. Some things have been permitted to survive, which only Brian would have had the courage to let go, and it’s so much the better for it.”

 

A tracklist has not yet been revealed, but Small Craft on a Milk Sea will be available on CD and digital formats, as well as two deluxe versions: A limited edition box featuring the album on CD, vinyl, and download, along with bonus CD with four extra tracks, and a lithograph of Eno’s artwork and a super-limited collectors’ edition set featuring all of the above plus an entirely “unique and customized 12″ square silkscreen print” by Eno himself as well as “a real copper plate, etched with the title and edition number embedded in the slipcase spine” (via P4k).

Legendary electronic pioneer Brian Eno is set to release his new album 'Small Craft On A Milk Sea' on November 15th.

 

Brian Eno is one of the most influential electronic pioneers of all time. Warp is one of the most vital electronic music institutions of all time. So the news that Brian Eno is set to release an album through Warp is not to be taken lightly.

 

Simply put: this is bound to be some exciting music. Brian Eno's first full length effort in almost five years, the poetically titled 'Small Craft On A Milk Sea' ends a period of silence from the producer.

 

Due for release on November 15th, the album was constructed with assistance from some special guests. Jon Hopkins has helped complete the new material, with Leo Abrahams also contributing to the sessions.

 

When the initial announcement was made earlier this year fans speculated that the album could have been the result of Brian Eno's 'scenius' idea. Curating a festival this year the producer lined up a litany of colleagues, with a new piece of music gradually emerging between them.

 

Little has been heard from the new album, although a number of different formats have been announced. 'Small Craft On A Milk Sea' will be available in a limited edition box set, containing heavyweight vinyl, two CDs and a lithographic print.

 

In addition to this, Brian Eno has also confirmed a collector's box set. Available to pre-order from 3pm on August 25th, only 250 copies of the release will be releases. The collector's edition contains a unique, signed, numbered screen print by Brian Eno, alongside heavyweight vinyl and two CDs.

Meanwhile, those of us with less pocket money will have to make do with ordinary CDs and downloads.

Brian Eno's new EP.

From the recordings that produced Drums Between the Bells -the collaboration between Brian Eno and British poet Rick Holland – comes an all new EP titled Panic Of Looking.

 

The 6 tracks continue the exploration of how lyric & song- writing are perceived in the post-everything era. As the Sunday Times suggests, "The poems aren't sung, yet the pieces are undeniably songlike, first because the music refuses to act simply as background, but lurches frequently, sometimes unexpected to the fore, and second because we hear the meaning of the words in the way we normally pick up song lyrics," while WIRED Magazine calls Eno’s soundscapes, "a tapestry of pillowy synths, minor-key melodies, chiming guitars and skittering drums."

 

All of these elements come together for the November 7th/8th release of the EP, which was produced by Eno and features his original artwork on vinyl, CD & digital formats.

 

Release date: Nov 7, 2011

Did you notice... Small Craft on A Milk Sea had a really smiliar cover to No Line On The Horizon, and this EP Panic Of Looking seems like MX.
