The new Brian Eno album may play more like a film score than a musician's album, but Eno has never admitted to being a 'musician' in the first place. In fact he has labeled himself a 'non-musician', and uses the term 'treatments' to describe his instrumental modifications instead of 'music'. On his newest album 'Small Craft on a Milk Sea' (Eno's first solo album in 5 years, since 2005's 'Another Day on Earth'), Eno collaborates with fellow electronic artists Jon Hopkins and Leo Abrahams to bring dark and dreamy ambient electronic to your ear-holes. Those of you who aren't familiar with Brian Eno; he was in the glam/art rock band Roxy Music, until he left in 1972. Afterwards he was instrumental in the creation of ambient and generative music, and developed a tape-delay system made famous by himself and Robert Fripp of King Crimson.
