    I already have Here Come The Warm Jets and Apollo: Atmospheres And Sountracks. I was thinking of either listening to Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy), Another Green World or Ambient 1: Music For Airports but I'm still not sure.

    Anyway, which of his albums do you think I should check out next? You don't have to stick to the three that I mentioned, you can suggest any album from throughout his career.

    I am a big Eno fan, following him for almost 20 years now, ever since I discovered him.

    I'd say that you can't go wrong with any of his 70's/80's/90's records.

    My two absolute favourites (and actually two of my favourite albums of all times) are
    -Nerve Net. Quite different from his previous "rock" records, this has many loops, a kind-of-world music character in it.
    -Ambient 4:On Land. Most people would suggest Discreet Music or Ambient 1:Music for airports (both superb records), I consider this to be the most complete ambient work he has given us.

    Upcoming gigs and events: Nova Twins, Tanita Tikaram, David Byrne

    I'd go for Music For Airports. Beautiful work.
