Brian Eno "Before and After Science" (1977)
Eno collaborates with a catalogue of artists including Robert Fripp and even
Phil Collins. As with his other solo albums that I've listened to so
far, he manages to incorporate interesting audio textures, avant garde
techniques and, here, some occasionally virtuosic performances into a
cohesive and often quite 'pop' sounding whole.
This album doesn't stand
out above the other two of his that I've heard on this list, but that
says more about the consistency of quality of Eno's solo output than any
particular shortcoming of this album.
Fun fact, Eno would go on to produce the second Talking Heads album, and this record features a track "King's Lead Hat" which is an anagram
of that band's name.
