i had NO idea that some of his work was being reissued! i think its only four so far but i'm not sure. all i know is here come the warm jets, taking tiger mountain, another green world, and before and after science have been reissued. i'm so excited...especially since i can't find my tiger mountain anywhere! now i won't mind buying it again.

yeah, it's just those four for now.

though when "my life in the bush of ghosts" is reissued, i'll be doing the happy dance all the way to the wrecka stow and back.

All four are automatic purchases for me. I think these are four of the best albums ever made - scarcely a duff track on any of them, and they're phenomenally well-produced as well (of course).

This is cause for celebration...

Taking Tiger Mountain... was the first Eno album I bought. The True Wheel is one of my favourite songs by anyone. i can't explain why, but I absolutely love it...

Somehow I've managed to never hear this album...that's a pretty severe over-sight on my part, I guess.

Why can't I type one sentence tonight without making an atrocious spelling error?

me too! i was working at a video store back in the day and some guy was playing just the best cd. he told me it was warm jets and then he put on music for airports. oh man, that is some of the best ambient music ever made! so, anyway, i went to this record store (one of the few things about philly i miss is this store!) and picked up tiger mountain and warm jets. i have never actually seen music for films or music for airports in ANY record store. i've been looking for years. i didn't know they were so hard to come by. maybe a reissue will soon be in the works for those as well.

Anxiety said:

I thought it was? Or are we talking about remastered?

sinisterpentatonic said:

remastered. i have it on CD, but it's all cheep and tinny-sounding and stuff. still funky, though.

Anxiety said:

AhHHh!! I've noticed that about a lot of first time reissues to cd. You know if they would've done it right the first time, we wouldn't have to buy it twice.

Hold on, I think that's what they want us to do!!

I can't wait until somebody remasters Prince's back catalog!

oy, don't get me started.

That is a way-ahead-of-it's-time album.

I have a copy of music for airports on vinyl. Unfortunately it's in very rough shape - I bought it second hand, and the previous owner didn't give it much TLC. Mind you, if I'm in the right mood the pops and hisses actually add to the ambience...

I'm pretty sure that music for airports is in print in England - it's one of the many albums I have to buy someday. I wish someone would declare a moratorium on new recordings so I could catch up with all the old albums I have to buy.

They're all great. Well worth getting. You'll hear things on the remasters you don't on the original CDs.

I had a roommate in college that was into him and Eno has some very chill stuff out.
Along the same lines....check out Wally Badarou.

I like Eno´s ambient stuff. Right now I am listening to "Ambient 4 On Land" which is my favorite. I also have "Apollo" and 2 CDs with Eno and Harold Budd.
I have never bought any of his vocal stuff though. His singing is

I bought "Taking Tiger Mountain..." today - this thread gave me the impetus to replace my scratchy old vinyl. I was going to buy "...Warm Jets" as well, but I'd already bought a book and cd earlier in the day (Hernando de Soto and David Sylvian respectively), so I thought it might be wise to lay off.

I'm listening to the David Sylvian album right now, and, I have to say, I wish I'd gone for the second Eno album instead. Ingrid Chavez has a couple of rather lame monologues on the album, and they're about as monumentally cheesy as her work on GB and Lovesexy...


Edit - Not only is Ingrid Chavez here, but Tommy Barbarella plays on this David Sylvian album - yeesh to that...

However, Marc Ribot, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Bill Frisell all make appearances on this album as well, so that evens things out, I suppose.
