Brian Eno “1971 – 1977 The Man Who Fell To Earth” Coming to DVD


Documentary featuring exclusive interviews, archival footage, performance and studio film and more

Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno – Brian to his friends, Eno to the rest of us – defies categorisation. Musician, composer, record producer, music theorist, singer and visual artist covers some of what he does, but he’s probably best known for his early work with Roxy Music, his production duties for U2 and Coldplay and as one of the principal innovators of ambient music.

But however he’s pigeon-holed, this remarkable, creative visionary remains amongst the most influential individuals to have ever worked within the music industry.

 

This documentary film – the first ever about Eno – explores his life, career and music between the years 1971 and 1977, the period that some view as his golden age, others as just one era in a long, extraordinary and very eclectic career.

Featuring numerous exclusive interviews, contributions from a range of musicians, writers [including his official biographer], colleagues, collaborators and friends – plus archive footage, performance and studio film and an abundance of arguably the most exceptional music ever created.

Also contains many extra features including extended interviews, digital biographies and more.
