Eno versus Sheeran 21:55 - Sep 13 with 3660 viewsvictorywilhappen

who is Suffolk's best? ( edit living..Britten is another dimension)

Even if one lives over the river now.

Hero's might be one of the best tracks ever written/produced/layered- a starting point for the future.

But castle on the Hill has resonated with the youth of recent years.

Both are influenced by place. our place.

'I like melancholy and have never found it to be the same thing as moroseness or sadness. I've always enjoyed being melancholy, perhaps because that mood is very much a feature of the environment where I grew up. It's a very bleak place and most visitors find it quite miserable. I don't think it's miserable but it's definitely a sort of lost place in a lost time – nothing has changed in this part of England for many hundreds of years;. Eno

It would be good to see/hear them collaborate. So this is really a request.

Or lyrics such as

But if you study the logistics
And heuristics of the mystics
You will find that their minds rarely move in a line
So it's much more realistic
To abandon such ballistics
And resign to be trapped on a leaf in the vine

The man is an underrated magician.

Good shout. I used to work with Roger many years ago when he was music therapist at Walker Close. Very talented family.

And the family story is so part of the process.

refugee mother.The pain of the past and the new land lives in the music and sound.

Brian started at Ipswich art school.
Roger at Colchester Institute.

Sorry, you’re right. Friday evening, dip into TWTD, prob better not replying 😁

But… fusing experimental with pop with Roxy Music and Bowie kind of changed music. Inventing ambient music. The 70s and 80s work with Cluster was maybe as defining and influential as Kraftwerk. I feel this means more than Ed Sheeran 🤷

Depends what you mean by "best".

Eno is a very fine composer of both popular and experimental electronic music.

Sheeran is a very fine purveyor of pop music in the singer-songwriter style.

Different things and one feels people are more passing judgement on the quality of the art form than of the artist.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

Brian Eno (whose full name is unbelievably impressive!) is one of the most influential artists of the later part of the 20th century, you only get that sort of kudos when you reflect on a career that long and see how important he was for artists following him. Ed Sheeran isn't yet in that category, but give it another 20 years and we could be saying the same. Even now he writes a lot of songs for other artists.

However at the same stage of their career I would say Ed Sheeran wins due to simply being one of the biggest musician in the world. Not sure Brian Eno had that level of kudos at the same age as Ed currently is.

Nick Lowe was in the same class as Brian Eno at Woodbridge School. They went in different directions musically it’s fair to say.

Sorry I am probably being slow but what are.confirmarion additions? Are they names that he has added?

Never realised this but Brian Eno was born in Melton, just outside Woodbridge. Exactly the same place I was born!

Edit: just looked at Wikipedia and now understand what is meant by confirmation name. No idea why it would be different to the name on your birthday certificate but there you go.
