[edit] Issues with specific albums

[edit] The Catherine Wheel

Is there a reason The Catherine Wheel is not included in Eno's discography? He is credited as a performer, as well as composer on two tracks. It seems to me that if Day of Radiance is included, tCW should be too. --Register allocation 03:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

I think it's easier to catalouge what is considered an "Eno" album if it contains his name on the album cover. Check WP:Discographies. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Empty Landscapes

I haven't been able to find any specifics on this album -- track list, personnel, cover art... There is an entry for it on the [discography at starpulse.com], but the link just goes to an empty placeholder page. --Register allocation 05:46, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Probably doesn't really exist or is unotable. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Air Structures

I would highly discommend including bootleg albums in discographies. It may not be a big deal for Eno, but for groups like The Beatles or Pink Floyd, cataloging bootlegs could be wikis all their own. IMO, including bootlegs is not a precedent we want to set. --Register allocation 05:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Noted and removed for the most part! Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vocal and Instrumental Box Sets

The Box sets should be included in the discography.

  1. From 1992 until the recent spate of remastered releases, they were the only source of remastered material from Eno's catalog.
  2. They still represent the only legitimate release of a number of songs from My Squelchy Life

Added! Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nerve Net

Does Nerve Net really belong classified as an instrumental album? According to the lyrics listed at hyperreal.org, "Fractal Zoom", "Wire Shock", "What Actually Happened?", "My Squelchy Life", "Juju Space Jazz", "The Roil, The Choke", and "Ali Click" all have notable sung or spoken accompanyment. --Register allocation 23:20, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Not seperated as an instrumental album anymore but as collaborations. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Empty Landscapes don't exists

This is the first time I read about a Brian Eno album called "Empty Landscapes". It don't exist in the official discography. But also in the many bootleg lists I never seen a record with that title. All the web pages featuring this title are taken from Wikipedia and give no informations about the edition and the content. A track titled "Empty Landscape" was published in "Music For Films Vol.II" in the "Working Backwards" box set, and it was recently re-issued in "More Music For Films" (2005). I think it is better to delete that title from the album discography.--Diego Cuoghi 20:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Done and done again see above. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
