Re: Oblique Strategies - An Eno Mafia [SIGN UPS]
I can see how you could think his ambient music is boring (although I disagree) but have you heard his rock stuff, like from his first solo album, Here Come the Warm Jets?S~V~S wrote:I AM talking about Eno.
I signed up to play, so I have no problems being a troll. I think Eno is boring~ he is an awesome collaborator/mentor. The Talking Heads did their best work under his wing. Maybe working with others tempers his overwhelming grandiosity. On his own, he's basically pretentious elevator music
Trolling Achievement Points UNLOCKED Booyah!

Re: Oblique Strategies - An Eno Mafia [SIGN UPS]
It's different, but I like it. Sort of a modern electronica take on Talking Heads.MovingPictures07 wrote:I haven't heard that one... worth checking out?thellama73 wrote:Inspired by this thread, I went out to buy whatever Eno record I could find. The only one in town was Someday World, the 2014 collaboration with Karl Hyde. Listening to it now. It's weird. Kind of an electro-funk feel. I think I generally like it though.

Re: Oblique Strategies - An Eno Mafia [SIGN UPS]
It's a shame that ambient music has come to mean those trite meditation CDs when Eno's work is so profound and beautiful. Plateaux of Mirrors is definitely one of his best.

I haven't heard any of his newer stuff, but that one and Lux both look good to me. I want to check them out when I have the opportunity.MovingPictures07 wrote: Did you hear Small Craft on a Milk Sea from 2010? It's very good.

Re: Oblique Strategies - An Eno Mafia [SIGN UPS]
What about Ambient 3? I like that one. I actually don't have Ambient 4. I've been meaning to plug a few holes in my ENo collection with that one, 801 live, the collab between Kevin Ayers, John Cale, Nico and Eno, Fourth World, Clsuter and Eno, and Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundscapes. Maybe after Christmas I'll go on an Eno buying binge.MovingPictures07 wrote: I've heard Ambient 1, 2, and 4 so many times I've lost track ages ago. Genius.

The four vocal albums from the 70s are all five star records for me, but my favorites in order are:MovingPictures07 wrote: Another Green World is a top 10 desert island record for me.
Before and After Science
Another Green World
Here Come the Warm Jets

Of course, I also adore his ambient work, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, and his collaborations with Bowie.

Re: Oblique Strategies - An Eno Mafia [SIGN UPS]
It's going to be a straightforward game. Not many secrets, not many side games or contests. The timed game and the win conditions are the extent of the complexity.

Re: Oblique Strategies - An Eno Mafia [SIGN UPS]
Yay! It occurs to me that some people not know who Eno is. He is a musician, singer, producer, conceptual artist, the inventor of the ambient music genre, he worked with Roxy Music, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Devo, U2 (ugh), Robert Fripp, Cluster, Harold Budd, and others. He wrote the startup sound for Windows 95. You should all know him and love him, and playing this game is a good way to start.

Fellas - Kill as many animals as you can - Team wins if has more surviving members than animals

Kurt’s Rejoinder - Retaliates against any night actions used against him.
Blank Frank - Kills nightly
The Great Pretender - A Seemer role
Third Uncle - Gains BTSC with one teammate daily
