Brian Eno - Desert Island Selection -- Discipline Global Mobile Shopping Cart
" favors Eno's later pop work."
Personnel includes: Brian Eno (vocals, guitar, acoustic & electric pianos, organ, synthesizer, bass, bells, percussion, various instruments); Paul Rudolph (guitar, bass, snare drum); Robert Fripp, Phil Manzanera (guitar); Brian Turrington (piano, bass); Robert Wyatt (piano, percussion); Rod Melvin (piano); Andy MacKay (keyboards); Busta Cherry Jones (bass); Percy Jones (fretless bass); Rhett Davies (Stick, agong-gong); Dave Mattacks, Phil Collins (drums); Simon King (percussion); The Simplistics (background vocals).
This compilation was released on vinyl and tape as MORE BLANK THAN FRANK in 1986 and belatedly issued on CD in 1989 with a less enigmatic title more in keeping with Eno's stated intention: "Instead of trying to compile a representative sample, an historical archive, or a best-of, I just put together a record I'd like to listen to."
DESERT ISLAND SELECTION favors Eno's later pop work. Seven songs--including the swirling "St. Elmo's Fire" and the kinetic, African-influenced "King's Lead Hat"--come from ANOTHER GREEN WORLD and BEFORE AND AFTER SCIENCE, with only two from the concept album TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN (BY STRATEGY) and one, the incandescent "On Some Faraway Beach," from his solo debut HERE COME THE WARM JETS. While all four of Eno's '70s art-pop albums are essential listening, DESERT ISLAND SELECTION is a thoughtful condensation that's both an excellent introduction to Eno's pop work and a wonderfully listenable album itself.
