801
801 was a short-lived British experimental art-rock project formed in 1976 that involved musicians from the era’s art-rock and experimental scenes, including guitarist Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno. The group blended rock instrumentation with electronic treatments, studio processing, and improvisational arrangements, and is often associated with a live recording that captured those reworked performances. Active mainly between 1976 and 1977, 801 is noted for exploring the intersections of rock, ambient textures, and experimental studio techniques.
