Brian Eno is an electronic musician and producer known for his multifaceted interests outside of music, especially in technology. He was born on May 15, 1948 in Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK.

Eno started his musical career with the band Roxy Music and went on to produce a number of highly eclectic and ambient electronic and acoustic albums. He is widely credited with coining the term "ambient music" through his series of albums recorded between 1978 and 1982.

In addition to his solo work, Eno has collaborated with artists such as David Byrne, David Bowie, Robert Fripp, Robert Wyatt, Jon Hassell, and Cluster. He has also worked as a producer for bands like U2, James, Coldplay, among others. Eno's contributions to music have earned him numerous accolades including Best Producer at the BRIT awards in 1994 and 1996.

Warp is a British electronic label founded by Steve Beckett, Rob Mitchell (RIP 2001), and Robert Gordon. It is one of the world's most respected and influential electronic/experimental dance labels. Originally based in Sheffield, UK, Warp later moved to London. They are known for their pioneering digital music sales site Bleep.com, which offered high-quality MP3s for sale along with exclusive tracks and rarities. Warp has several related labels including Warp Records Limited, Warp Music Publishing, Lex Records, Arcola, LuckyMe, and Night Slugs. The label's history is documented in the book "Warp" by Rob Young.

There are also some interesting facts about certain singles such as WAP 13 being supposedly unreleased but some copies of WARP LP 1 were pressed with this cat#. Additionally, WAP 85 was intended for Jimi Tenor's "[m=43418]" but ended up being released by Rough Trade Germany without a Warp cat#. 

It's worth noting that many Warp releases were licensed to

Lux is Brian Eno's first solo album on Warp Records and his first solo album since 2005's Another Day on Earth. It finds him expanding upon the types of themes and sonic textures that were present on such classic albums as Music for Films, Music for Airports and Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks. Eno sees it as a continuation of his Music for Thinking project that includes Discreet Music (1975) and Neroli (1993). Lux is one of Eno's most ambitious works to date; it is a 75-minute composition in twelve sections that evolved from a work currently housed in the great gallery of the palace of Venaria in Turin, Italy.
