I love his Music For Airports and his work with Robert Fripp, John Cale David Byrne, and Devo are all also quite good.
Of course his work with Bowie, Talking Heads, Philip Glass, U2 and others as role of producer / player is almost untouchable.
Such a small part of his career with Roxy Music yet even that speaks volumes.
And he has one of the best names ever:
Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno

Just when the world needs contemplative, ambient music most, Brian (Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle) Eno — the man, the myth, the non-musician sex-maniac who invented the genre back in 1975 while bedridden — hath returned to shepherd us all into a state of careful, quiet reflection by announcing the impending release of a new “ambient” album, Reflection.
Due January 1, 2017 via Warp, Eno has stated that the new album “is the latest work in a long series” whose pedigree includes the luscious likes of Thursday Afternoon (embedded down below for your pleasure), Neroli, and LUX. In other words, it’s a pure, long-form ambient record, as distinguished by Eno himself from “pieces of music that have fixed duration and rhythmically connected, locked together elements.” He then goes on to muse that Reflection is so called, because it makes him think. “It makes me think things over. It seems to create a psychological space that encourages internal conversation […] and external ones actually — people seem to enjoy it as the background to their conversations.”
It’ll be available as a CD (because CD’s still always just feel like a highly relevant format in which to listen to Eno records for some reason) “in case-bound sleeve with six-page booklet,” as well as in 2LP and digital versions, any/all of which you can pre-order now. And just in time, too, cuz after one hell of a 2016, we’ve all got kind of a fuckton of heavy thinking to do. Here’s the official soundtrack, y’all.
