Video info:
Brian Eno is an artist who’s impossible to put into a pigeonhole. He’s produced and worked with some of rock and pop music’s biggest names such as David Bowie, Talking Heads and Genesis. He coined the term ambient music and was one of the pioneers of the genre. And last but not least he explored a myriad of other art forms such as film, generative music and commercial music. To put his career and legacy into perspective, producer and film composer Jon Brion once said: "I think he's the most influential artist since the Beatles." So what exactly is it that makes him as influential as The Beatles? In this video we’re exploring Brian Eno.

We’re always one step behind him, he’s Brian Eno!

MGMT

[@Muzzerie]

Where are you man? You ok? Hope you return soon!

[@photojakey3664]

Where did he go tho?

[@barbdrake5999]

I like your old style of videos tbh, it was more of a polyphonic video essay style with all the moving images which really fit the topics of these videos. I appreciate you changing stuff up, but to me the the animated character frames while you talk doesn’t really fit this style of video as much as the old one.

[@janellahuelga]

We need more videos!!

[@Solhundar]

i like your vids but its nicer when theres pictures/videos of the subject instead of animation

[@jeefneef9307]

Too bad he’s tracing Saberspark and others

[@ugo5200]

I cannot recommend evening star enough, one of my fave albums

[@Ptdrere]

Are you okay?

[@churchguy8325]

no

[@creamybeige8031]

I've been waiting for this video for years. THANK YOU

[@obieoberstar]

Thank you for the video. Excellent intro to him and his work.

[@valuke26]

I've been listening to Eno for almost a year, and this feels like a personal gift from you to me, Lie.

[@IvanKNIGHTFROGSROCK]

He also produced for Coldplay, creating IMO their best album Viva La Vida, u should totally do a video on coldplay they get a bad wrap i feel these days

[@noursarhan8695]

Agreed! It's my favourite! He also worked a lot with U2, which is another wonderful, yet unfairly misunderstood band. Gotta love this man

[@swilson5320]

I heard it started like a meme in a movie and or telly show. Went to a concert, and it’s the best experience yet. Also they’re good guys

[@hallamhal]

Yes! Been waiting for this one - BAAS is one of my favourite albums

[@LieLikesMusic]

Thanks for the patience. Enjoy!

[@jerrytheobnoxiousmouse.ser6161]

That album is just absolutely great from start to finish. Especially finish, I can't put Spider and I into words.

Possibly the most important musician of the 20th century

[@anthonycooper9295]

I mean, the century was long, and John Cage and Duke Ellington were a part of it, but Eno is up there

[@topmodelnaomi]

I’m really pleased to see a vid about Eno, the man who inspires me the most in life. I also think this video is very helpful for people who’d like to get into him. You did a great job!! I can tell that you did a good amount of research for this :-)

[@Caesar_Online]

Great inspiration!!

[@jamesayon]

I love Brian Eno his album "Music For Installations" is my all time favorite when I need to focus! It is good to see a little bit about him!

[@gabriellarowden9442]

Dude I just found your channel !!! You and your channel are amazing and I’m also definitely becoming a patron which I’ve never done before with anyone , lol. You are teaching me a ton about music. Thanks:)

[@oliviaraquel2128]

Omg this is perfect! I just discovered Brian Eno. I didn't realized how much he has created. Thanks!

[@GEAsolar]

Check out Roxy Music's 1st and 2nd albums

[@TheChugg11]

Where have you gone?

[@mattyhealydefender]

doing my college essay on eno and this really helped!

[@jackgatti8643]

You should check out Tim hecker, he had some great ambient/drone works this decade like Virgins, one of my favourite albums ever.

[@shaft9000]

There is a lot of pre-Eno electronic works that are as "ambient" as anything he ever did. The likes of Steve Reich, Tangerine Dream [ *ZEIT* in particular], Cluster, Bruce Haack, Daphne Oram, Klaus Shultze, Eliane Radigue were each at it too. The first two recorded some of their first comps in the '60s.

[@tmamone83]

No lie, my mom got my a Brian Eno shirt yesterday for my birthday. It reads "Ambient 1975 England."

[@CarolH2O]

I have Apollo, which ive always really enjoyed, and Neroli...i think thats all! Wow i need to listen to way more Brian Eno!

[@shaft9000]

his first solo 4 albums are essential. they're even better than the 'strictly ambient' ones that followed, imho

[@jessicariley8580]

Eno has created some of my favorite ambient music still love ON LAND!!!

[@chaziast]

I grew up on brian eno. was a childhood of wonder and bliss.

Mate I really wish you had more followers, I think you are a great music historian

[@m0rla_]

The Eno BROTHERS tho. Together they're amazing too. Brian and his bro Roger. 🤯💓 I shall listen to his first works tho... havent checked them out.

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

I'm a huge fan of Brian Eno. He made one of the greatest albums ever in music history and I love how a lot of the music have a sound of their own and that is one of the things why Brian Eno is one of my favourite musicians of all time. His discography and artistry is incredible, meditative, unique, inspiring and beautiful. Love his work

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

I'd say Another Green World but Ambient 1: Music For Airports is my main favourite, I love others that are one of my all time favourites as well, some that are underrated too and others that people love too.

[@GmannyIsBack]

@@TheStrongBoyz19 my favorite is Discreet Music. That album had a profound impact on how I perceived ambient music.

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

And what a very nice and soothing record along with the other gems

[@MessedupMurphy]

fantastic video, though I've got to say, at 0:58 Suffolk is in the East of England, not up in Scotland.

[@ofir_likes_beer]

I love Apollo. Great album

[@leonpeon9275]

Make one about (Quasi) please. I love there music, and I can't find any videos about them anywhere on KZbin or online. Ti would be great to learn more about the band. Love your videos btw.

[@seanramsdell4117]

No mention of U2?

[@barrygreenstein8383]

He produced the debut album by Ultravox!

[@thevfxmancolorizationvfxex4051]

Brian Eno is the godfather of Lofi Ambient music. He doesn't make art. He makes sounds that speak to your soul. His Ambient sounds helped me when studying for my exams and I can't thank him enough (although I don't like the vocal sound effects in his pieces that much)

[@LieLikesMusic]

How cool. His music helped me too when i was editing the video. Especially the calmer music that is. From what i've explored so far, it seems he's been creating music related to many kinds of genres outside of ambient too.

[@thevfxmancolorizationvfxex4051]

@@LieLikesMusic thanks

[@tunesidig]

No mention of U2? The U2 portion of his career is his most prolific. How could you leave that out?

[@SpookyLuvCookie]

As penance for not mentioning 'My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts' you clearly need to do a whole video about that (rather significant) album. If you want. :D

[@anthonycooper9295]

or how about Wrong Way Up with John Cale! PROLIFIC

[@goodmorningu.s.a3595]

[@jamesconraadtucker]

One of my favorite uninhibited artists. A lot you didn't even touch on, which adds to Brian's amazing scope of talent. Ironically, Brian Eno has stated he's not a musician which he actually isn't (for the most part). He rally just climbs in to create. If it veeres off into something else, so be it .Something I enjoy doing as well. jamesconradtucker.bandcamp.com Albums also available on all music distribution sites.
