Three Tune Tuesday - Brian Eno

2 days ago (Edited)

Hello, music lovers! 🎵

On #threetunestuesday, I reflect on the music I listened to growing up and the music I had access to.

After a long time, I remembered a musician I'd been following for his whole career, and one of his albums is even one of my favorites. I listened to his latest collaboration with Beatie Wolfe and decided to make him the star of this #ttt post :)

Brian Eno is a British musician, multi-instrumentalist, and artist whose work spans composing music and playing, as well as pioneering experimental music genres such as rock, electronic, and ambient music that serve as a backdrop or accompaniment to other elements, inviting the listener to engage.
He began his career as a member of Roxy Music (1971-1973), playing synthesizers before transitioning to production, collaborations with other musicians, and visual art.
He has released 29 solo albums and 22 in cooperation with other musicians (Robert Fripp, David Byrne, U2, Nico, John Cale, and many others).

Some of his songs are of different styles.

Roxy Music - Virginia Plain

Virginia Plain is the first single by Roxy Music; it was not included on the first album, except for the 1972 USA version.
Brian Eno is in the background, playing a kind of box :) Actually, a VCS3 synthesizer gives the song an unusual, for those times, distinct sound picture compared to the other glam-rock bands.

Brian Eno - Black Frank

Black Frank is a song from his first solo album, Here Come The Warm Jets, released in 1973. The song is a 1950s rock'n'roll classic, the drums are almost identical to Bo Diddley's Who Do You Love, and Robert Fripp of King Crimson played the guitar.

Brian Eno - Deep Blue Day

Deep Blue Day is a song from the 1983 album Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks. The song was written for the documentary For All Mankind, about the Apollo space program.
The song was most successful in the movie Trainspotting and was also used in the films 28 Days Later and Traffic. It's a classic ambient track.
