xp -- I can't think of any others, but if this poll has taught me anything, it's that I don't know as much about Eno as I thought I did.

Was the Paul Simon album the only real Eno for hire creative flop?
― Josh in Chicago
No Line on the Horizon. Besides, Surprise is mostly Simon-produced.

The first couple minutes of the title track...

I think I need to get past my issues with U2 and actually listen to these records.

Speaking of Budd, I listened to The Pavilion of Dreams last night for the first time and I wish I could go back in time and put it on my productions ballot.

As a huge Eno fan, and a big Lanois fan, and a pretty big U2 fan, it never ceases to amaze me that I repeatedly forget "No Line on the Horizon" exists. I mean, it's not terrible. Just ... worthless?

i wonder what eno thought of akron
― La Lechera, Wednesday, 9 July 2014 20:50 (nine years ago) link
thinks, even!
Did he ever go there? I picture him sending the band a telegram summoning them to Cologne.
― it's not rocker science (WilliamC), Wednesday, 9 July 2014 20:53 (nine years ago) link
I know it's a rare instance of a band being unsatisfied with the Eno treatment, even if Eno was apparently pretty hands off. I guess he took too many rough edges off? Similar to this, I suppose:

apollo is the most highly revered ambient eno that i just can't get into.

i love music for airports, the pearl, thursday afternoon, music for films, etc, but the apollo vibe always makes my stomach turn for some reason

Pretty sure I'd never heard any of it until the Trainspotting soundtrack.
― it's not rocker science (WilliamC), Wednesday, 9 July 2014 21:03 (nine years ago) link
it has a twee lullabyish feel to it a lot of the time, less of an uncanny edge than a lot of his other ambient stuff
I love it
