Eno is cool because he makes entire ambient albums (what I recommended) and he writes songs (what you are listening to).

I am on track two already on Here Come The Warm Jets. I don't know what I was expecting but it is different from that. It is really cool and I might have to quit work a little early to expedite the bowl loadage You are approaching this correctly.

I will add that to the list. By the way, that bowl I was referring to was dealt with right when I put my headphones on and "Back In Judy's Jungle" came on. I can tell I am going to be an Eno fan already.

Man I wish I could listen to Warm Jets for the first time today.
Green World is (just barely) my favorite. Perfect record. See the Record a Day thread for my extended thoughts on that one.

Listen to the live album Serpent by Circle. You haven't heard that version yet.

And fucking Tiger Mountain! Sweet Jesus, early 70s Eno is kind of the greatest thing that ever happened.

I heard that spaced out version of Warm Jets in car. Fucking incredible.
Notice how the guitar in that song was ripped off almost note for note in LCD's 'All I Want'

I've never listened to Brian Eno either. Aside from those two albums with David Byrne. I'm guess I better get on that.

However,
Bryan Ferry + Brian Eno > pretty much anything.

I heard that spaced out version of Warm Jets in car. Fucking incredible. Circle released two brilliant albums this year that contain similar tracklists. We listened to the 8-minute studio version of 'Warm Jets' from the album Manner in the car, but you have yet to experience the fully fleshed 12-minute live rendition!

I have never listened to Elvis Costello. Any recommendations on what to start out with?

Elvis has a lot of material, and not all of it is great. The reason Elvis Costello still matters anymore is his work with his original band, the Attractions. His best work was released between 1977 and 1983 -- My Aim is True and especially Armed Forces are solid fucking gold. Personally my favorite is Punch the Clock, although that album arguably contains the first forerunners of schmaltziness that would render most of the last twenty years of his career entirely irrelevant. Any of the three I mentioned would be excellent starting points. If you want to go with a proper album, you really can't beat Armed Forces. Honestly, though, Elvis has one of the most incredible greatest hits comps of all time -- The Best of Elvis Costello and the Attractions. I wouldn't say this about almost anyone else, but that's probably the actual best place to start. You'll probably be surprised at how many of the chunes on there you already know.
