I don't live in the past at all I'm always wanting to do something new. I make a point of constantly trying to forget and get things out of my mind.

Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it.

American television really is pathetic.
Brian Eno

The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.

I've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.

Saying that cultural objects have value is like saying that telephones have conversations.
Brian Eno
Image
Rationality is what we do to organize the world, to make it possible to predict. Art is the rehearsal for the inapplicability and failure of that process.

Whenever there's a new music, there's a new way of listening. And whenever there's a new way of listening, there are new musics that follow from that.

When people censor themselves they're just as likely to get rid of the good bits as the bad bits.
Brian Eno

Anything popular is populist, and populist is rarely a good adjective.
Brian Eno
Image
Well, there are some things that I just can't get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they're of my own creation, as well - and they're just as annoying. It's not only other people's ear worms that bug me, it's my own, as well.
Brian Eno
Image
The reason conservatives cohere and radicals fight: everyone agrees about fears, no one about visions.
Brian Eno
Image
I enjoy working with complicated equipment. A lot of my things started just with a rhythm box, but I feed it through so many things that what comes out sounds very complex and rich.
Brian Eno

Also something that you don't have to listen to from beginning to end - you can enter at any point and leave at any point.
