Brian Eno: Box II - Vocal (3 CD 1993) | URBANASPIRINES

BRIAN ENO - BOX II VOCAL - (3 CDs) - Urbanaspirines

Second part of the Box Set on Brian Eno from Kostas at Urbanaspirines is here . . . . . . especially if you have little to none of the maestros work this is an essential starting place and no mistake


As Kostas says:Virgin repackaged and re-released three of Brian Eno's best albums -- Here Come the Warm Jets, Another Green World, Before & After Science -- as a slip-cased box set. It's not a bad way to acquire the albums if you don't already own them, but there are no bonus tracks or new packaging or remastering, which means it's of marginal interest to hardcore collectors.  “Eno Box II: Vocal” presents a handy guide to map Brian Eno’s metamorphosis from little-known sideman (he played synthesizer briefly in the 1970s with the art rock band Roxy Music) to mixer-slash-muse for the stars. That it focuses on songs with lyrics also makes this set far more accessible than the ambient and ambitious challenges of triumphs like “Music for Airports.”








Enjoy and thanks as ever Kostas!
