Re: Lurker surfacing with OT Question



Apologies in advance, but I just have to laugh at the reference of Another 
Green World as a "pop" album. At the time it was released, it was so far 
off the mainstream that it could never have been construed as pop. 
Compared to what was on the radio then or now, it is so far from pop, 
that, well...I LOL'd. :)

I'm going to second Andy's recommendation of "Bush of Ghosts".  That 
album is just brilliant.  It's also relevant to looping since most of 
the songs shun the typical A/B/A/B/break/B/out structure.  They use a 
continuous single flow (with other parts layered on and subtracted 
from on top of that).  It's not unlike what we're used to with 
looping.

Similarly, I'd almost consider the Talking Heads "Remain in Light" as 
an Eno album.  I'd credit him as a 5th member of the group at that 
time period.  So if that album counts, here's a big +1 for it.

And I'll always have a soft spot for "Another Green World".  Some of 
Eno's pop albums are just plain fun.
