More quotes by Brian Eno
I always have wanted to know how the whole thing was done, what the process involved. And I don't particularly enjoy that my music is stripped of ancillary details, and it just sort of comes out of this big tap called the Internet like water.

Brian Eno
In the wake of the events of 11 September 2001, it now seems clear that the shock of the attacks was exploited in America.
Brian Eno
Sometimes you recognize that there is a category of human experience that has not been identified but everyone knows about it. That is when I find a term to describe it.
Brian Eno
It infuriates me that stuff from the Internet routinely doesn't include all the credits. Because as soon as I listen to something, if I like it, I want to know, Who's the bass player? Who did that? Who's the engineer on this?
Brian Eno
The artists of the past who impressed me were the ones who really focused their work.
Brian Eno
I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.
Brian Eno
Not many people bought Velvet Underground LPs, but those who did, started a band.
