006 BRIAN ENO-ANOTHER GREEN WORLD

Another Green World is the third studio album by British musician Brian Eno. Produced by Eno, it was originally released by Island Records in September of 1975. As he had done with previous solo albums, Eno worked with several guest musicians including Phil Collins, John Cale and Robert Fripp. The album marked a great musical change from Eno's previous albums. Using his instruction cards the Oblique Strategies for guidance, the album contained less lyric-based rock songs and had stronger emphasis on instrumental productions; many without the aid of guest musicians. The dark humor of the lyrics also changed to more dreamlike and addled songs.
The album failed to chart in the United States or the United Kingdom. Initial critical reception met with both high praise from several critics, but also with negative reviews feeling the album was a to great of a departure from Eno's previous more rock music based material. Modern reception of Another Green World has been more unanimously positive with critics placing the album on several top albums lists as well as giving the album some of their highest ratings.
