I honestly don’t have a clue how to do this one right. Brian Eno. That should say it all? Problem is, it doesn’t. Especially to the younger audiences. The VH1 and MTV greatest lists never mention Brian Eno. You don’t see kids getting blisters trying to emulate Eno riffs. You don’t see classical performers comparing Eno keyboards to the likes of Bach or Beethoven. You don’t see Eddie Vedder praising Brian Eno. Hell, you don’t even see Alicia Keyes praising Brian Eno. All of them should. Here’s just a little list of Eno’s contributions that I personally enjoy a lot.
| Low | David Bowie | Sound and Vision, Breaking Glass |
| Heroes | David Bowie | ‘Heroes’ is possibly my all time fave. |
| Q: Are We Not Men? | Devo | Whip It, Mongoloid |
| More Songs About Buildings and Food | Talking Heads | Take Me to The River |
| Fear of Music | Talking Heads | Life During Wartime, Heaven |
| Remain in Light | Talking Heads | Once in a Lifetime |
| The Unforgettable Fire | U2 | Pride |
| The Joshua Tree | U2 | Where the Streets Have No Name, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Waiting For, With or Without You, Bullet The Blue Sky |
| Achtung Baby | U2 | Zoo Station, Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, Mysterious Ways, One |
| Us | Peter Gabriel | Steam |
| Zooropa | U2 | Numb, Lemon |
| Beautiful Day | U2 | Beautiful Day |
| About Everything John Cale ever did. | John Cale |
The list goes on and on for practically eternity. Eno seemed to zone in on the bands I liked best. And, they usually came out with a classic as the result.
Here’s some of my Mooned Eno’s:

Hello I just watched Life Aquatic. Can you tell me what song Seu Jorge sings first? It’s the scene just after the screening on the ship and just before the scene with Ned. You know the one? Thanks in advance,
I’m pretty sure it was Starman ( from Ziggy Stardust ). It’s possibly the song he does best.
I don’t know about that. I can only listen to the soundtrack on amazon.com and the tempo seems much to fast compared to what I heard in the movie. The only song I haven’t been able to listen to is When I Live My Dreams. Could it be that one?
Oof, Ok you were right. It is Ziggy Stardust. Do you have an mp3 of Seu Jorge’s arrangement by any chance?
It’s Ziggy, but I can’t seem to find Seu’s recording online. Have you found anything yet?
Well, there is a soundtrack, but it doesn’t even mention Ziggy. I do remember it in the movie tho. My best guess is the only mp3 that’s going to be available will be the clip from the movie, which wouldn’t do much good. I’m hoping Seu Jorge releases those songs ( and others ) himself.
