Brian Eno Series, #8: Brian Eno- Another Green World (1975) MP3 & FLAC

"Well we rested in the desert where the bones were white as teeth sir, and we saw St. Elmo's fire splitting ions in the ether."

Unquestionably Eno's masterpiece and a huge artistic leap forward from the brilliant tongue-in-cheek Art-Glam of his first two post-Roxy releases, Another Green World is where Brian Eno became Brian Eno, finally privileging sonic experimentation over pop song structure. However, don't let the term "experimentation" fool you; this is album is full of sumptuous, gorgeous music. While there are a few pop songs in the mix (and quite good ones at that), much of Another Green World is comprised of minimalist instrumental tracks that point forward to Eno's Ambient works, while still managing to utilize rhythm and melody in a way that allows them to carry what, for all intents and purposes, is still a "Rock" album. In my opinion, there is no better place to start with Eno; this is absolutely essential listening, even for those with no more than a passing interest in experimental pop.
