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?

No Pussyfooting: by far my favorite Fripp album (have time for occasion Fripp songs of course)

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.
one of my favorite records

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.
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 9 July 2014 21:01 (nine years ago) link
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
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 9 July 2014 21:03 (nine years ago) link
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

boy that Eno production of "See No Evil" is a rough draft of what he thought he heard in the Heads.

Except for "Mountain of Needles," which still gives me the heebie-jeebies 33 years later.
