nice interview, thanks for posting that.

his music is all over the place, so if someone says you sound like him that could mean a number of things.

I always thought his greatest skill was being listener advocate.

He only produced Bowie, Talking Heads, DEVO, U2, etc. and released some of the greatest ambient recordings ever made.

I'm in the middle of doing a cover album of his vocal songs. They're great. Anyone comparing you to Eno is giving you a compliment.

Get like Prince and make Eno's 'Another Green World' your favorite record. Then pick up 'Here Come the Warm Jets' and 'Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy' and...

..."Before And After Science".
One of the most brilliant pop albums you'll ever hear. It was all over for me after coming across that one.

Actually, Eno would probably tell you not to bother buying any of his stuff.

well, i checked out the stuff on your site. and I'd say that the parallels are closer to the more drone-like NIN stuff. which sounds pretty heavily influenced by eno.



but that's how most songs that make use of "slow attack synth" tend to sound.

someone saying your stuff is influnced by eno basically is record reviewer speak- take it to mean they recognize that your music contains lots of atmospheric drone stuff but doesn't sound like new age music.

trent reznor is almost grossly into the eno/bowie axis circa 77-80- not only is 'a warm place' practically a criminal ripoff of music for films type stuff, he pretty much stole 'crystal japan' by bowie note-for-note. he always used to claim his big inspriation for DOWNWARD spiral was LOW, the bowie/eno collaboration for 77. to the point of sampling david bowie-produced Nightclubbing, by Iggy Pop. but i digress.

as for the albums he's produced by the heads, i've never heard anyone even come close to that. something to aspire to, to say the least.
