Brian Eno has enjoyed more musical identities than a cat has lives, but what ties them all together is an inexhaustible spirit of curiosity. Born in Suffolk, England, in 1948, he joined glam rockers Roxy Music in 1971 before striking out on his own with 1974’s Here Come the Warm Jets, the first album in his voluminous solo discography. A born shape-shifter and inveterate collaborator, he has made art rock, electronic music, and even pop, thanks to his production work for acts like U2 and Coldplay, though he is perhaps best known as the artist who codified ambient music, beginning with 1978’s Ambient 1: Music for Airports and continuing across decades of atmospheric, and often generative, albums and installations. Yet while he may return to certain themes or ideas, Eno is loath to dwell on the past. “People are always congratulating me for the album I made 20 years ago,” he told Apple Music. “That sense of always looking backward, it just holds me back.”
Brian Eno has also released music as a member of Passengers, 801, Portsmouth Sinfonia Roxy Music.
