ANOTHER GREEN WORLD

The 1970's was the golden age of progressive music. It actually started in the late 1960's after Sgt. Pepper and Brian Wilson's great push to use the music studio as an instrument, which he did so effectively with his Pet Sounds. Everything seemed to fall into place for energetic groups to take rock music to its extreme. Brian Eno did this with this release. In the mid 1970's the economy was experiencing inflation and Watergate had just been concluded in Washington DC. The US was in turmoil along with the rest of the western world. In the musical art world of English masters like Eno, he was only getting started. He wanted to go totally uncommercial and make true art with sound. I think he accomplished his goal with this record. It has everything in an avant-garde project. It is beautiful and sublime. It is 4.5 stars on my scale. No track is filler, everything fits and produces a grand whole with subtlety and artistic merit.
