"…wisely sidesteps the trappings of the Behind the Music-style music doc(s) and instead focuses on the music itself." - Derek Smith, Tiny Mix Tapes
Brian Eno: musician, composer, producer, music theorist, singer and visual artist. Probably best known for his early work with Roxy Music, his production duties for U2 and Coldplay and as one of the principal innovators of ambient music. This first-ever documentary film about Eno explores his life, career and music between the years 1971 and 1977, the period that some view as his golden age. Featuring numerous exclusive interviews, contributions from a range of musicians, writers, collaborators and friends, plus performance and studio film and an abundance of the most exceptional music ever created.

An absolutely profound look at Eno and the development of ambient music. This is the type of in-depth indie film I was hoping to locate, educational and entertaining, an historically accurate recounting of what is now a standard art form by those who were there, as I joined Fandor. Worth every minute of its length. Not to be missed by anyone interested in music and its composition as visualized by one of the truly eclectic composers of our time.
I have watched this again for a second time today and its even more enduring and filled with informative musical knowledge than I had thought yesterday.
A very good standard for how music docs should be made. Sure there are sycophantic talking heads, but the dribble is kept to a minimum and most of the time we get to listen to people who either helped Mr. Eno make the music, or have had some serious involvement in the music scene. I'm going to almost certainly end up watching this again at some point.
I learned alot but it also felt a bit long and some of the audio dubbing a bit off.
Just made me realise I need to go out and get my hands on more Eno albums!
Really insightful docu.
Finally saw this over the weekend. Although I was a Roxy Music fan and completely missed the Eno thing in the 70s (my loss). This film is a good luck at what he did during those pivotal years and where his sensibilities come from.I agree with c.fuller that this is a bit repetitive, but I enjoyed it and learned a lot!
Great doc lovingly made. Mention of the ambient stream overshadowed the more raucus freeing tracks on record and missed here: 801, Bowie, et well and al.
This is a very focused, serious examination of the work of Brian Eno from his tremendously creative period of 1972-1977, or from Roxy Music to "Before and After Science." A must-see (and must-hear) for anyone interested in the popular music of the period, or art music
ENLIGHTENING! Essential for anyone interested in experimental music!
very revealing. filled in some gaps for someone who's been a fan all along. i'm going to turn my son onto it, if he hasn't seen it already.
