Brian Eno's Turntable Design

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.

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.

@lewm 

How about Picasso or Dali as TT designers? I’d buy those, even if they didn’t work.

I'd be much more interested in an Escher designed table. 😁

@falconquest + 1 - I'm a huge fan of Brian Eno's first 4 albums; not into the ambient stuff, but those first 4 are superb works of musical art.... Lots of other artists have appeared on Eno's albums, for sure - and don't forget one of his main partners in crime from Roxy, Phil Manzanera... 

@bdp24 - I was referring to this, both on the same post:

Hopefully the table is not as vapid, empty, and soulless as is Eno's "music".

No idea who Eno is but that makes me sure not to waste time finding out. 

You might want to brush up on your own reading 'compression'... 🤣
