Baker's Dozen

Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

2.

Brian Eno – Discreet Music
The three variations on Pachelbel’s Canon are all pretty great, but for me the highlight is what happens on ‘Fullness Of The Wind’. The loop logic is impeccable and simple and unfolds in time in a heartbreaking way. Cosmic drool with no awkward Eastern affectation. All Whindam Hill records 1975-1985 should be re-tracked through multi tape delay, perhaps that is the purpose of all that emotionally sterile winter music. And III, eeeIII will always love drooling.

Selected in other Baker’s Dozens: Lord Spikeheart, Tom Ravenscroft
