Brian Eno: His Music and the Vertical Color of Sound

Tamm, Eric. Faber and Faber, 1989. Softbound. When asked about his influences, Eno names 'feeble, weedy English pop music and then the American stuff, full of what I still find to be menace and strangeness', from the echo underlying the recording of 'Heartbreak Hotel' to the 'magical' quality of doo-wop, 'plopped from outer space, in a sense'. This study of the anadromously named avant-pop artist, lovingly designed by Nancy Dutting and covered with a mashup of digital display, portraiture, and wood type–inspired titling, traverses his career from 'The Ambient Sound' to 'Assaultive Rock Songs'.

Tight, square, uncreased spine. Clean, unmarked interior. Some light edge-wear and a subtle three-inch crease to the front cover at the fore-edge head. 223 pp. Featured Rare & Collectible.
