Brian Eno AMBIENT 4 On Land
1982 Editions EG 1st US Pressing


phaks August 9, 2014
My favourite ambient record of Brian Eno. Pure sound, rarely any melody, dominated by a meditative flow of bass and spacy sinti/moog-like moods. Pianos that sound like bells, mighty and reverbareted. Some smart jungle sounds give you sometimes the feeling of being in a tropical forest. A bit like the Jon Hassel / Brian Eno ambient/world music LP but without trumpet and percussion and at halfspeed.

BRIAN ENO is best known for his pioneering work in rock, ambient, pop, and electronic music. A self-described "non-musician", Eno has helped to introduce a variety of unique conceptual approaches and recording techniques into contemporary music, advocating a methodology of "theory over practice" throughout his career.[1][2] He has been described as one of popular music's most influential and innovative figures.[1][3][4]

Born in Suffolk, Eno studied painting and experimental music at art school in the late 1960s before joining glam rock group Roxy Music as synthesizer player in 1971. After recording two albums with the band, he departed in 1973 to record a number of solo albums, contributing to and ultimately coining the concept of ambient music with works such as Another Green World (1975), Discreet Music (1975), and Music for Airports (1978). He took part in frequent collaborations with artists such as Robert Fripp, Harold Budd, Cluster, David Bowie on his "Berlin Trilogy", and David Byrne on 1981's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. During the 1970s, Eno would also begin a parallel career as a producer, which included work on albums by Talking Heads and Devo, the no wave compilation No New York (1978), and recordings by avant-garde artists such as John Cale, Jon Hassell, Laraaji, and Harold Budd, among others.
