Brian Eno in the 1970s : Decades, Paperback / softback Book

Brian Eno in the 1970s : Decades Paperback / softback

Part of the Decades series

Paperback / softback

Description

Brian Eno is arguably one of the most influential musicians working in rock music.

Starting out as synthesizer peacock of the early glam rock era Roxy Music, Eno not only changed his look but his musical style throughout the seventies and moved from foot-stomping proto-punk anthems to the quiet introspection and inventor of ambient music.

Along the way, he became a much in demand producer working with Ultravox! and Talking Heads and also collaborated with David Bowie on three of the most important albums of his career.

He also managed to blur the boundaries between rock music and modern avant-garde classical music with the founding of his 'Obscure Records' label. Eno began this decade strutting his stuff onstage to Bryan Ferry's songs and finished it with the serene melodies of Music For Airports and, along the way, managed to squeeze in a couple of albums with King Crimson's Robert Fripp as well as being part of the krautrock scene.

This is Eno's journey through the highs and lows of the seventies.
