BRIAN ENO (33 1/3)
Another Green World (1975), the third solo album by genius "non-musician" Brian Eno.
It is an ambient masterpiece that seems untouched by time and definitively transformed its creator from an unusual glam rocker to a painter of soundscapes.
But how did electronic experimentation and the idea of "the studio as a musical instrument" lead to the creation of a record that so faithfully echoes the vibrations of the natural world?
Geeta Dayal unravels the tangle of Another Green World and with it the methods of an artist who is still in a musical category of his own.
Geeta Dayal is a journalist and critic who has written extensively on music, art, technology and culture for the past two decades (Slate, The Wire, Pitchfork, New York Times, Wired).
