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.

Back In Stock

considered by many to be the ultimate ambient album, 'music for airports' is so delicate, lovely, and aesthetically moving, that it has been known to give rise to sensations of flying, being enfolded in warm blankets, or watching a vision take place in the heavens. if this sounds like an overstatement, you haven't heard the album. a four part 'piece' performed entirely on synthesizer and piano, eno's composition finds a referent more in abstract painting (one visualizes bold blocks of colour in warm hues) than in any musical genre. resonant synthesizer notes resembling bells or voices are interwoven with bits of melody, overlapping each other, and fading in and out of an architectural silence. essentially, it's the kind of music one might hear in heaven, and eno manages to present it without the pretense or cheese that typify most of what later became 'new age' music. 'music for airports' stands against the prejudices of even the staunchest ambient music critics, partly because eno did it first, but mostly because this disc is genuine, pure, and achingly beautiful.
