Brian Eno - Another Green World (7A)

Another Green World is the third studio album by British musician Brian Eno. Produced by Eno and Rhett Davies, it was originally released by Island Records in September 1975. As he had done with previous solo albums, Eno worked with several guest musicians including Phil Collins, John Cale and Robert Fripp. The album marked a great musical change from Eno's previous albums. Using his instruction cards the Oblique Strategies for guidance, the album contained fewer lyric-based rock songs and had stronger emphasis on instrumental productions; many without the aid of guest musicians. The dark humor of the lyrics also changed to more dreamlike and addled songs.

The album failed to chart in the United States or the United Kingdom. Another Green World met with both high praise from several critics, but also with negative reviews that felt the album was too great of a departure from Eno's previous more rock-based material. Modern reception of Another Green World is unanimously positive; several critics and publications often place the album on lists of the top albums of all-time.

This is one of the few albums I liked when it was released and bought at the time! Still enjoy it.

1.44 min really smooth arm return man. Nice.

Tony Visconti was the man behind '"Heroes"' but the treatments throughout are certainly Eno's, no doubt about that. I'd say this piece represents hope and new frontiers, there's a very mellow sense of optimism present.

The longplay has been taken down (boo!). Any chance of you re-uploading it? I want to listen to this song until my ears stop working.

Thank you for posting this.

Gotta love turntables. It's either a little slow or a little fast; I can't tell if the song is supposed to be in D or D flat. (If D, the chords are Gmaj7 to D.)

Is this the whole song? That's brilliant. I love a piece of music that can "say" it all in two minutes.

You can tell it's the same guy who produced Bowie's "'Heroes'", just from the tone of the guitars.

I think "haunting" is an adjective that applies to this piece.

Great song, terrible video and the poster should sell all of his records because of it.
