Another Green World: An Annotated Look at the Classic Album | Liner Notes

[@michaelmusic2133]

Cry Worthy Moments on this album: When the St Elmo’s fire solo kicks in, when the title track; Another Green World washes over you, when Sombre Reptiles sets in, and finally, the BEAUTIFUL melancholic lyrics on Everything Merges with the night. My favorite album ever.

[@lieinmygrave]

"The Big Ship" is one of the best tracks off of Another Green World

[@pimeys]

One of the best tracks of all time. Timeless.

[@danielyahalom3961]

that was the first song that ever gave me shivers down my spine

[@davidcopson5800]

True. And yet they are all so good.

[@rorydonohue9851]

contrarian spotted

[@SonofMrPeanut]

For my undergraduate music history essay, I wrote on the history of Ambient Music. As a result of that, I was very happy to research this album (and, by extension, No Pussyfooting). I'd already loved the album for some time, but it was a treat to look into the making of it.

[@THumanQTip]

Fripp's guitar solo on St. Elmo's Fire ranks right up with any guitar solo in history. Incredible speed and precision, yet lyrical at the same time.

[@frankwaters8177]

without question, my favorite album of all time

[@rockturtleneck]

Pretty sure it's mine too

[@sillyrootee]

'Everything Merges With The Night' will always be a personal favourite of mine.

[@davidcopson5800]

Can you give out any descriptions of it?

[@landlinesandpercolators8822]

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is a great one also.

[@creolecookin8854]

these videos are so great

[@TheProtagonizer]

jacob mejia Just discovered them, great stuff indeed

[@davidcopson5800]

Yes, but the narrator can't resist referring to other Eno albums. If you've only got three and a half minutes stick to the one album you are advertising. 30 minutes and you can bring in the others.

[@Indi]

I love Brian Eno's "Thursday Afternoon." I would listen to it every night when I fell asleep. It was the spark of something incredible the first time I heard it as well, one of the first times I ever smoked. Incredible artist.

[@kevinmurray6209]

Agreed. Thursday Afternoon is brilliant.

[@smurfette_blues7922]

This album is brilliant. could listen to it all day...

[@acandycoloredclown7005]

One of my favorite albums of all time

[@davidcopson5800]

Do you listen to it when you're having breakfast in America?

[@crapsack47]

These are a great idea for Best New Reissues

[@gordongrant444]

Great review. Makes me want hear "I'll Come Running" so bad!

[@toharzamir7948]

one of my all-time favorites

[@EleanorRigby96]

thank you so much for this video

[@jeffwhite3625]

One of my top ten records of all time. A complete masterpiece.

[@richr0ll]

The big ship is still as awesome as ever

[@theneovas1]

MojoSoDope 47 FORTY SEVEN

[@aprendizdebrujo100]

For me the best songs are "I'll come running", st.elmo's fire, the big Ship, and Becalmed, thus, Everything merges with the night, and golden hours are still brilliant... (the solo in Golden hours is totally dazzling)

[@BrendanMacWade]

An amazing album. I didn't discover it until 1999. I haven't stopped loving the 1970s since.

[@SKYSAW59]

Warm Jets is top 10 GOAT... And so is this!

[@thecitizenjoan]

Spider & I is my Favorite Song

[@3rdUncleBob]

14 seconds of "Spirits Drifting" while featuring an image of Discreet Music is very misleading. All in all though a good introduction for newbies but reveals nothing for those who have lived with this album for decades.

[@ivanriskin1167]

Bob McIntyre i have to agree with this, the info could be a little more complete, not a single mention of No Pussyfooting

[@MrUndersolo]

Just read a bio on him. Amazing life and a great talent...

[@spencerwelchii573]

Thanx, now I have to listen to Taking Tiger Mountain, The stuff with The Winkies, Another Green World, Before and After Science, and Another Day on Earth 🙄

[@hafoalghamdi5719]

ننم

[@Maximillion666]

I'm not the biggest Eno fan but Another Green World is a great album.

[@davidcopson5800]

And why are you not?

[@lennoxt.anderson8966]

IAN m His ambient stuff is better but this is his second best vocals album

[@ragnarjappinen6716]

Yeah, why aren't you? Seems kinda fishy...

[@shmizzleshmazzle9830]

Eno looks like he may have done some Silence of the Lambs shit in the 70's.

[@noa.leshem]

Gteat video. Very interesting

[@thecitizenjoan]

I’m gonna memorize this entire video so I can impress my Ironic Hipster Friends

[@ggthewhale]

You mean patrician friends. Hipsters listen to Portugal. the man and brockhampton

[@user-rv4qw3xi3c]

ハバネラのリズム

[@ciaranwright4361]

First song?

[@tryfishin9]

is the same title track of the album "Another Green World"

[@cleonware7513]

This album is the shit

[@MattGDesign]

Somehow Pitchfork forgot to mention the whole Coldplay production, just skip that 😉

[@kingbingus]

Listing all of the albums Eno produced would take about 4 minutes.

[@draevonmay7704]

Hi Matt
I know this supposed to be a joke, but it’s a pretty lame attempt at one. They spend a lot of time if their review of Viva talking about Eno.
Also, this is about an album decades before its release, so has bears significance whatsoever-especially considering the

Here Come the Warm Jets is better.

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

"Better" is more subjective than "classic" and a classic doesn't necessarily need to be better than another album, does it?

[@Parallel_LCD]

Taking Tiger Mountain is better.

[@davidcopson5800]

Noooooooooooooooooooo. If you say that I'll come running to your house and kick you in the castanets. Warm Jets is not as good as Tiger Mountain even.
