Brian Eno's Turntable Design

Baby's on fire...

@larsman: Your reading compression is about on the same level as are Eno's musical talents. The Audiogon poster who said he has "no idea who Eno is", and the poster (myself) who was "happy to describe his 'music' as vapid, empty, and soulless" (I am actually not happy to do so, as I find his influence in Pop music as unfortunate) are two different, distinct persons. A re-reading of the two posts will reveal that to be fact.

I neglected to include Eno's work with Talking Heads, as I find the results to be of little merit or interest (to myself, at least). While I'm at it, let me state that I find David Byrne to be, like Eno, just another musical charlatan. As were Lou Reed and many other New York-based "artists". Just one person's opinion, although Art Dudley agreed with me about Reed, Art putting quotation marks around the word singer when speaking of Lou. A terr-i-ble "singer", and a mediocre songwriter. Still, more talented than Eno ;-) .

Art Dudley agreeing with you. Well I guess that says it all. Thanks for the laugh.

No accounting for anyone’s taste in music.

Wow,

I can't believe the ire expressed here for Brian Eno! I consider him to be an eclectic, influential creator of new musicscapes. Indeed his influence is vast and wide. Here is a bit from wiki...

"A self-described "non-musician", Eno has helped introduce unique conceptual approaches and recording techniques to contemporary music.^[1][2] He has been described as one of popular music's most influential and innovative figures."

He has worked with such artists at Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, the oracle himself Mr. Robert Fripp, David Bowie, David Byrne, Laurie Anderson and Grace Jones. 

I guess I have always enjoyed innovative artists that push the limits which is why I have always been a fan of Salvador Dali and ambient music. I get if you don't like his turntable but wow, can't believe the closed minds here.
