'No Pussyfooting'[edit]

This album not in discography but mentioned in text. This was the first release after Eno left Roxy which isn't clear - it was released before the solo album "Here Come the Warm Jets". It was also the price of a single. It's a collaboration - Fripp & Eno - it should have a place. It's also considered by some as a precursor to the later ambient albums. I'll look for citation on this.Thelisteninghand (talk) 17:46, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. A source should be easily found. Not sure how "ambient" it was though! Martinevans123 (talk) 17:53, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
p.s. here's a 2017 tour trailer. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:56, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. Seeing the complete discography has its own article I have not added (No Pussyfooting) - did add 'Small Craft on a Milk Sea' and some other edits. But I wonder whether the discography here should be deleted?Thelisteninghand (talk) 15:07, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Articles do vary. But standard practice seems to be to leave the main albums. It does say:
"This is an incomplete list, see Brian Eno discography"

Eno - 'Musician'[edit]

Hi - I've just changed Brian Eno's occupation! As the opening line states he's a musician it can't be right that he's described as a record producer. He's also listed WP 'Musicians'. I know he hates the description but was denied a request to enter "non-musician" in his British passport. Thelisteninghand (talk) 16:38, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A very, very, very long article[edit]

It's length is inversely proportional to the importance of the subject, and in direct proportion to the desire to use Wikipedia for self-promotion.

Oh dear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.218.171 (talk) 23:58, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is quite a long article, but it is within WP:SIZERULE guidelines at around 69 kB of text in the main body.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:52, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you think the subject is less important than other comparable contemporary musicians? But you're also suggesting that Mr Eno has added lots of material to this article for "self promotion"? If so, you'll need to present the evidence here and then to mark this Talk page with a WP:COI tag. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 10:30, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
“Mr” Eno is a certifiable blowhard. I’d bet dollars-to-donuts that he was the one pumping up this article. This page, while EXTREMELY well written, could do with a haircut (if not a shave with the #2 attachment). 2601:192:4C7F:C155:B4CC:B447:E6A:926C (talk) 17:01, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Foreverandevermore description[edit]

from https://www.brian-eno.net/ : "Brian Eno releases his latest studio album FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE today (October 14) on vinyl, CD, digital formats and Dolby Atmos Blu-ray (Super Deluxe Edition exclusive). The record was made at his studios in West London and Norfolk. A song-based album, Brian’s vocals are featured on the majority of the 10 tracks, which makes it a first since 2005’s ‘Another Day On Earth’. On FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE Brian experimented using tonal over major chord changes: “My voice has changed, it’s lowered, it’s become a different personality I can sing from. I don’t want to sing like a teenager, it can be melancholic, a bit regretful. As for writing songs again – it’s more landscapes, but this time with humans in them.” “I like creating worlds, that’s what I do as an artist, creating sonic worlds. Now after quite a long absence of humans in those worlds I have tried putting one in and seeing how they feel in the world I’ve made.” Brian Eno"

Given the volatile nature of the web and the lack of a specific entry for this album adequate to describe the diversity and specificity of construction of this album as compared to other instrumentals, perhaps it will be helpful for this quote to find its way somewhere in some entry or part of this one. 176.206.242.131 (talk) 02:11, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
