The Greatest Music
Another Green World
by Brian Eno
The 219th greatest album of all time
Another Green World, released in 1975, finds Brian Eno shifting from art rock toward ambient and experimental electronic composition. The album mixes a few vocal songs with mostly instrumental pieces, using treated keyboards, synthesizers, guitars and unconventional percussion to build sparse, textured soundscapes and melodic fragments. Its production emphasizes unusual timbres and layering, and the record marks a key step in Eno's development of ambient approaches to composition.
