Brian Eno
Widely credited with inventing the ambient genre, ground-breaking composer, producer and self-described non-musician Brian Eno continued to challenge the way in which music is perceived. A key member of glam pioneers Roxy Music, Eno then left to forge an ambitious solo career, pushing musical boundaries with an array of innovative production techniques and an emphasis on theory over practice on a prolific series of increasingly experimental albums. Hailed as one of the most influential artists of his generation, Eno's leftfield approach regularly infected the mainstream thanks to his soundtrack work, string of high-profile collaborations and perhaps most notably, his production duties on some of the best-selling and most critically-acclaimed albums in pop history.
