Product Description

Product Description

Musician, composer, producer: Brian Eno is unique in contemporary music. Best known in recent years for producing U2's sensational albums, Eno began his career as a synthesizer player for Roxy Music. He has since released many solo albums, both rock and ambient, written music for film and television soundtracks, and collaborated with David Bowie, David Byrne, Robert Fripp, and classical and experimental composers. His pioneering ambient sound has been enormously influential, and without him today's rock would have a decidedly different sound. Drawing on Eno's own words to examine his influences and ideas, this bookfeaturing a new afterword and an updated discography and bibliographywill long remain provocative and definitive.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read, 11 Jan 2004
I chose to read this book both as a fan of Brian Eno's music and as a musician myself, and found it quite fascinating. Tamm writes with great clarity and provides some good insights into music from all stages of Eno's career. The musician will surely find inspiration, either musically or in terms of production, and the Eno fan will be delighted. It must be said, however, that this book is not a light-hearted read: Tamm is writing from an intellectual perspective, and some may find this daunting. But assuming you are a fan of Brian Eno (and other associated artists), there is much to be gained by getting hold of a copy of this.

4.0 out of 5 stars A tad dry but necessary reading for any Eno fan., 13 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Though this book is written more from a technical perspective, it provides interesting insights into the furtile, creative mind of Brian Eno. I would not recommend this book to anyone who doesn't have interest in musicology or the technical nature of music creation. However, for those who are interested, feast away.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction, 8 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This book is best for the fan who is also a home recording artist. It tackles Eno primarily in the studio and gives very clear descriptions of his techniques. There is even a glossary in the back. The book deals with his pre-1988 work and was originially a thesis paper so at times reads like one, dry. I enjoy Eno, but this book did nothing to enhance the "myth." Rather it made him human. Not bad, right?
