| |                   "the life of brian [eno]"                    | |
| | despite the fact that he was sadly unable to attend the degree | |
| | awards ceremonies here at suffolk college last week to receive | |
| | his planned honourary qualification i felt that i should still | |
| | mark the occasion by playing a few of my favourite releases by | |
| | music legend, brian eno. his career spans over 30 years (for a | |
| | comprehensive summary of which i refer you to his mini-biog on | |
| | the www.allmusic.com site) but i'm most interested in his work | |
| | as one of the major pioneers in the field of ambient music and | |
| | this was reflected in the tracklist of my programme today. the | |
| | show featured a range of his music from the past three decades | |
| | and included: 'deep blue day' (taken from the lunar soundtrack | |
| | album 'apollo' but best known for featuring in the suppository | |
| | recovery scene in trainspotting!), a collaboration with harold | |
| | budd, remixes from the nineties of the grid and massive attack | |
| | and a track from his beautiful 'ambient 1: music for airports' | |
| | (which somewhat bizarrely featured in the movie 9½ weeks!). to | |
| | find out more about brian eno check out "enoweb" on hyperreal. | |
