Re: Lurker surfacing with OT Question
Apologies in advance, but I just have to laugh at the reference of Another
Green World as a "pop" album. At the time it was released, it was so far
off the mainstream that it could never have been construed as pop.
Compared to what was on the radio then or now, it is so far from pop,
that, well...I LOL'd. :)

I'm going to second Andy's recommendation of "Bush of Ghosts". That
album is just brilliant. It's also relevant to looping since most of
the songs shun the typical A/B/A/B/break/B/out structure. They use a
continuous single flow (with other parts layered on and subtracted
from on top of that). It's not unlike what we're used to with
looping.
Similarly, I'd almost consider the Talking Heads "Remain in Light" as
an Eno album. I'd credit him as a 5th member of the group at that
time period. So if that album counts, here's a big +1 for it.
And I'll always have a soft spot for "Another Green World". Some of
Eno's pop albums are just plain fun.
