Robert Sandall celebrates Brian Eno at 60, with music from four decades of Eno鈥檚 career. Eno first came to fame as the synthesizer player in glam-rock band Roxy Music, but he already had experimental credentials from playing with the avant-garde Scratch Orchestra. After Roxy Music he pursued more artistic concepts, coming up with the idea of Ambient Music in 1975, and bringing his high-concept approach to collaborations with David Bowie on the albums Low and Heroes, as well as ex-King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp, ex-Velvet Underground member John Cale and Californian minimalist Harold Budd. He's also credited with pioneering sampling culture with the album My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts, made with ex-Talking Heads singer David Byrne in the 1980s. You can hear music from all these collaborations in this programme, along with some of Eno's ambient classics including Music For Airports and Apollo; and a track from his brand-new album with David Byrne.
