This 1975 recording catches the ex-Roxy Music member in transition between art rock and his more progressive-ambient recordings. With an all-star cast including drummer Phil Collins, guitarist Robert Fripp, and John Cale on viola, Another Green World explores instrumental landscapes and aural textures not normally associated with rock recordings. Drawing on musical influences ranging from Weather Report to La Monte Young and Terry Riley, Brian Eno created layers of quirky sonic atmospheres and electronic tone poems. Using synthesizers, artificial percussion devices, and additional electronic accouterments, he found that the studio itself could become a useful instrument of creativity. Compositions like "Becalmed," "Sombre Reptiles," and the title cut all anticipate Eno's later ambient excursions. One of the many utterly essential Brian Eno albums. --Mitch Myers

Stunningly original electronic music - and beautiful, too!

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2003

Verified Purchase

Over the years I have thoroughly enjoyed Brian Eno's work, but I have to admit that my favorites have been the ones where he employs vocals as well as instruments. I think the reason for this is that in the purely instrumental albums, there has sometimes been a problem with the instruments carrying the central themes. But on the vocal albums, the instrumentation either partners with or supports the vocals, and this somehow enhances the creativity of the instrumental work. But of the four vocal albums I own and love--ANOTHER GREEN WORLD, TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN BY STRATEGY, HERE COME THE WARM JETS, and BEFORE AND AFTER SCIENCE--this is my favorite.
The bulk of the playing on this album is by Brian Eno himself, either on guitar or any of a host of keyboards, or percussion. He is otherwise supported by guest musicians, including Phil Collins back when Phil Collins was a progressive rock drummer (he drummed not only on the Genesis albums but spectacularly on some Peter Gabriel albums) and the great Robert Fripp (and who contributes an astonishing solo on "St. Elmo's Fire" and a more subdued but even more beautiful one on "I'll Come Running"--actually, on the latter the album credits establish Fripp on this number is playing "Restrained Lead Guitar").
The problem I have with a lot of electronic music is that it often tends to be repetitious, lacking in human emotion, and unbeautiful. Eno at his best is not subject to these criticisms at all. The music on this album is fascinating and interesting from beginning to end, and the songs--even though often utterly goofy--are never lacking in human feeling. As for beauty, the album has plenty of it, and "Everything Merges With the Night" is as beautiful as any song I know, though beautiful in a different way from most gorgeous songs, beautiful the way a sad, quiet, lonely night can be beautiful. Another stellar moment comes when Eno, Fripp, and John Cale team up on "Golden Hours."
This really is a timeless album. It was recorded in 1975, but I defy anyone unfamiliar with the album being able to guess what decade it was produced it with any certainty. Truly a unique and original piece of work.

"Another Green World": An Eucation in Originality

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

I recently grabbed a copy of this album after decades of being aware of it in the LP racks (and passing it by as a "maybe someday" purchase) largely out of curiosity after reading a review of Eno's lifelong oeuvre by Sasha Frere-Jones in The New Yorker. As that reviewer had noted, Eno's work stood out largely because instead of approaching his projects as a musician, he viewed what he did as sound production and sound treatment. Every track on "Another Green World" is an idea framed in a well-thought-out experiment to create new sounds and new ways of using them; the ideas behind each track are simple, but they build into something that, over thirty years after the album's release, still sounds fresher and more adventurous than ninety-five percent of what's being marketed as "alternative" or "progressive" out in the music world. Eno has always steered clear of cliches as if they were poison, even if familiar arrangements and rock riffs and beats might make his music more accessible (in the way that baby food is). "Another Green World" remains a milestone in the art of independent creativity, a difficult pursuit especially in the music business.

this album has held up extremely well - I had forgotten how much I loved 'St. Elmo's Fire' and 'Sombre Reptiles'

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have been a Brian Eno fan since his days with Roxy Music, and bought this album when it first came out. Slowly replaced most of my LPs with CDs, but somehow never replaced this one, so it's been 25+ yrs of not having listened to it. Was recently reminded of it in an article by someone listing their top 5 guitar solos, so went out and got the CD. As far as I am concerned, this album has held up extremely well - I had forgotten how much I loved 'St. Elmo's Fire' and 'Sombre Reptiles'. Fantastic album and soundscape, great playing (i.e., Robert Fripp guitar solos, Eno's electronica).

Boring and unimaginative

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2022

Verified Purchase

The vocals are uninspired and bland. The lyrics range from awful to meh. "I'll come running to tie your shoes" is repeated 15 times! Made me nauseous. The music is repetitive and predictable. For some of the tracks, you can hum along even if you've never heard the music! There's a few short pieces that are inventive beginnings of pieces, but they didn't change into something more. I kept waiting for the music to start -- but it didn't. It just sort of keeps trundling along in the same lane. It's easy-listening ambient art/pop. Don't expect to be surprised or challenged.

Wrong booklet

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2021

The album certainly made my fiancée happy. The bad thing is that the wrong booklet was in the case. Instead of Another Green World it was Dion the greatest hits. How does that even happen with a new, still shrink wrapped cd?

Brian Eno is now known almost totally as the creator of the slow Electronic 'Ambient' art form but at the begining He was the main creative force behind UK rock legends Roxy Music. After starting to equal singer Brian Ferry's popularity, it became clear the band wasn't big enough for them both and Eno embarked on a long solo journey of His own. This is perhaps the first of His works that would have an Atmospheric feel leading to the slow repetitive but captivating Discreet music and finally to the seminal Ambient1 Music for Airports. Essential if you want to hear how it segued into the Ambient experience.

I should have quit, while ahead, and stuck with Music for Airports I feel

Got a little carried away after listening to Music for Airports and Discreet Music which I love. Seems my appreciation doesn't extend to all of Eno's albums; that said only half listened once or twice so perhaps I'm being hasty to judge

This is the 'grown up' version of 'Here Come the Warm Jets'. Beautiful, assured, haunting music. Good for background, but equally good to sit and immerse yourself in its warmth...
