But it certainly seems to include every Eno album currently available on the streaming service. It may not include every album Eno ever made. The playlist starts with Eno’s first album, 1974’s Here Come the Warm Jets, and then moves through the rest of his discography chronologically. All of it evidences that Eno never runs out of musical ideas, nor the fascination to execute them no wonder Roxy Music leader Bryan Ferry, nearly half a century later, wants to collaborate with him again. (If you don’t have Spotify’s free software, you can download it here.) If you got into Eno through his ambient work, what you hear on much of this sonic journey through his discography might surprise you: the jaggedness of a “Sky Saw” from Another Green World, the cyberpunk beats of Nerve Net, or the nervy grooves on his collaborations with former Talking Heads David Byrne. Though Eno has always insisted on the importance of deep feeling in music, perceiving a kind of sacredness in acts like singing and dancing, the creation of his own music has also involved no small amount of cogitation, the fruits of which you can hear in the 29-hour Spotify playlist above.
