Should I buy some Eno?

Just wondering....do any of you think that I should get one
of Eno's albums?

Is he good? Because I'd be really interested to know...

Thanks.

I was thinking of going for On Land...

Funkmaster got it as his first, and loved it...

I'm trusting his judgement!

:D

My fave Eno record so far is "Ambient 2 -The Plateaux of
mirror", also a collaboration with Harold Budd. Budd is
really amazing! One of my all time favorite pianists...

I suggest you also get hold of A Year with Swollen Appendices: the Diary of Brian Eno ...

Sample pages over at amazon again... ...

Includes all his famous essays...lots about Generative &
Ambient music....

Stick some Eno on, grab this & it's instant inspiration for
me....

clothes. Is he still alive?

No, I wouldn't be willing...

Don't buy any Eno. You'd be giving money to an anti-American
Eurofag too pussy to deal with the great Satan, Saddam.
