Love love love that album! Eno is just cool because he was constantly thinking about the context for his art as well as making beautiful music.

Him and David Byrne did an album called "My life in the bush of ghosts" - I was reading Byrne's book about it and he was saying it was constantly asking 'how would someone who has never seen or heard a guitar or piano be played... approach it? Is strumming arbitrary, could it be percussive?'

Eno just ebs with cool

I read the book for a book club, and decided to listen to the album as well, even though Eno said he took the title of the album from the book without ever having read the book.

The album was a lot more accessible than the book.
