Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

5. Brian Eno – Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno was the pop-rock genius of the 20th century, no doubt. He’s not a brilliant musician; he knows it, he doesn’t care and neither do we. What matters is he has ideas, and that informs the way he programmes and the way he constructs tracks. You know, when you get into music, doing nothing except music, you can find new things and you can try to get inside the music of others. I’ve seen this myself because I’ve done some production, not only of my own music – like on Adonia by Ose or Bébé Godzilla by Patrick Gauthier. I made 80% of Adonia, though I didn’t write it.
