Another Green World

Released

Eno’s third album, mixing numerous mainly fully solo tracks with an occasional larger ensemble including artists like Robert Fripp, John Cale and Phil Collins, emphasized shorter compositions and often minimal or stripped-down arrangements heavy on electronic instruments, as much a series of intriguing mood pieces like “Becalmed and “The Big Ship” and as formal vocal songs as such. Among the latter, “St. Elmo’s Fire” and “I’ll Come Running” are some of his most beautiful efforts, sung with winning wistfulness and feeling like pop from an unknown future.
