He has some cool ideas, obviously something to bring to the Animal Collective table.
You can argue the times were kinder that riff-scorching style back then. Personally I believe they just had better ways of demonstrating their true charisma back then and somehow along the way they lost it.
Blue Album in many ways, was the first and last perfect nerd rock album.
This album serves as a demonstration of what he can do in a techno context, but it also serves as one of the better albums of the year.
A solid catalogue all around, but this is just the best example of what Tribe is all about.
Trompe le Monde is an outstanding capstone to what was quite possibly the most consistently great four years of music any band has ever produced.
This is one of shoegaze's ultimate dream rock records. I think many who have tried to imitate their style have fallen short by a long shot.
It may feel out of synch with today's production style. Regardless this personally hits the spot both in terms of beat and bar delivery.
U2 distanced themselves a little from punk rock and delivered a very cosmic and strong willed album, with a touch of Eno.
Ambient 4 and Apollo in large part are similar, however as the title of this album suggests, Brian Eno unleashes his most cosmic ambient style to date and it pays off so well as a nostalgic trip.
Not only does did Brian Eno hit uncharted territory with a dark ambient style in 1982, he has also created an album that has not been rivalled to this day in terms of ambient genius.
This album puts what was achieved with "Fear of Music", on a new level of rhythmic mayhem and introduces an immense darkness at some points.
The rhythmic genius of each track and tiny quirks at ever turn make this one of the most interesting 70's releases to me.
