Best known nowadays as a member of Channel Light Vessel, the younger of the two Enos takes his cue from big bro Brian's Another Green World by adding vocals to his typically sleepy ambient sound. "The Whole Wide World" is typical of an album that's best heard with a cup of chamomile tea. --Jeff Bateman

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
Selected this CD based on one song heard on XM Radio. The CD is a mixture of style and types of music. It is very good when in the right mood. The mix may not fit some settings and I think I would rather just hear him play and not sing as much.
If we read nineteenth-century lit and then listen to its music, we come away confused by the disparity. While the literature hovered squarely over Northwest Europe's very own melancholy and mystery, damp and dark, the music might just as well flit away into sugar and sweetness--listen to Strauss's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" for a perfect example of the schizophrenia. Roger Eno's music, however, is a continuance of the Romantic or Victorian Era's literature. Swimming is all but devoid of Eno's typical classical ensemble instrumentation, but the deep, romantic, NWEuro mood is present in droves. Swimming, as with all of Eno's output, is decisively mature emotionally, obviously British, humble, and peaceful. Eno is touching with Swimming, but with emotion 100% sugar-free. It's such a shame that you're always pointed to the New Age Ninnies section when you ask for Roger Eno. . . .
