Brian Eno's Another Green World

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

It was the strange and mystical "Another Green World" (1975) that was the cosmic bridge between Old Eno and New Eno, between Rock and Ambient, between the guitar and the synthesizer, between the old world and electronic music as we know it. This book excavates the album's past, and untangles how it was a link to the future of electronic music.

Rezensionen

The book itself is a masterpiece; it's not just a book about the making of a record, it's a book about how to make art and how to think about how to make art. Amanda Palmer
