According to The Independent:
...Ian MacDonald also wrote lyrics and songs. His younger brother, Bill, had played with Phil Manzanera (later of Roxy Music) in a group called Quiet Sun, and when Manzanera recorded some solo albums, Ian provided some of the material for them, and worked with Brian Eno, too. Sub Rosa, an album of his own songs - reflecting his fondness for groups like Steely Dan - was released in 1990.
The Guardian says Eno worked on it:
"...Twenty-five years later, Brian Eno, another member of the original Roxy Music, would help MacDonald produce a solo album of his own songs, Sub Rosa, released on Manzanera's label.
Has anyone heard this? Was it actually released?

it wasn't until after ian died and mojo printed a news article, that i realised he was virtually a neighbour of mine.

Wow.
As I said on the Phil Manzanera thread, Ian's work on the 801 studio album, Listen Now is quite good. Brother of bassist Bill MacCormick.

thirteen years pass...
anyone ever unearth this? I've never seen it on slsk or anywhere else. It's on discogs so I'll probably just order it and see.

weird, I was actually thinking about this album the other day. I’ve read and reread revolution in the head so many times that the idea of hearing music by the guy who wrote it is fascinating to me. but i’ve never been able to find a song or even a sample clip from it anywhere.
