Then there is the DVD collecting Eno’s experiments with film,
Thursday Afternoon (1984) and
Mistaken Memories of Mediaeval Manhattan (1981)
I’ve previously shared my excitement when I learned that Eno had collaborated with one of my other musical heroes, Karl Hyde of Underworld. I framed the pair of postcards included with their two album releases.
There was also an art print included with original pressings of Eno and Hyde’s first collaboration,
Someday World, which I’ve framed in my listening room.
And while working as a designer, I independently produced a 24” x 24” oversized PVC-mounted vinyl print of a graphic I designed mapping a chronology of all of Eno’s creative works both as an artist and as a producer. Here is a web-friendly downscaled copy of the artwork with a magnified sample of an area of text.
Of course, what Eno collection would be complete without an edition of the
Oblique Strategies oracle deck?
And finally, here is my library of thirteen books examining the mind and the art of Brian Eno. It was great fun compiling them all, including a copy of Eno’s own diary,
A Year With Swollen Appendices.
That is the collection to date. I know that it is far from complete. My research reveals an additional 14 vinyl releases far more rare than anything I have and nearly 2,600 releases with Eno named in the credits, but I made sure to collect all of the titles which were of great significance to me, personally.
Thank you for permitting me to share my love for great music. Eno and his work are an unparalleled inspiration in my life.
