Another Green World is the third album by British experimental musician Brian Eno, released on November 1975 (see 1975 in music). Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno (born 15 May 1948 commonly known as Brian Eno (ˈiːnoʊ is an English Musician, producer Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy is the second solo album by Brian Eno. Evening Star (1975 is an album by the British ambient musicians Robert Fripp and Brian Eno. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located Experimental music is a term introduced by composer John Cage in 1955 Brian Peter George St John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno (born 15 May 1948 commonly known as Brian Eno (ˈiːnoʊ is an English Musician, producer Events January 2 - New York City US District Court Judge Richard Owen rules that former Beatle John Lennon and his lawyers The album marks a fundamental shift in Eno's musical expression, farther away from conventional song structure than ever before, and increasingly bizarre and iconoclastic. This inevitably made the album less mainstream, and to some listeners less accessible, than his previous work. Critically acclaimed, Another Green World is regarded by many fans and critics as Eno's magnum opus. Magnum opus (sometimes Opus magnum, plural magna opera) from the Latin meaning great work, refers to the best the greatest

The album has fourteen tracks and only five with vocals. Many of these tracks laid the foundation for Eno’s future ambient career. Ambient music is a Musical genre in which sound is more important than notes Much of the album is accented by a mixture of an array of sounds mixed in the far background. The musical textures have been cited as a significant influence on David Bowie's 'Berlin Trilogy' (1977-79), on which Eno collaborated. David Bowie (ˈboʊiː born David Robert Jones on 8 January 1947 is an English Musician, actor producer, and arranger. The Berlin Trilogy is a series of David Bowie albums recorded in collaboration with Brian Eno in the 1970s [1]

Though the album begins with a relatively harsh piece titled "Sky Saw", most of this album has a gentler approach than Eno's previous works. The atmosphere is an unusual combination of whimsical humour and melancholy serenity, sometimes on the same track.

"St. Elmo's Fire," one of the tracks featuring Eno on vocals, showcases a guitar solo by Robert Fripp, frequently cited as one of the most melodic and beautiful of his career. Robert Fripp (born 16 May 1946 in Wimborne Minster, Dorset, England) is a Guitarist, Composer and a Record In the liner notes for the track, Fripp is said to play the "Wimshurst guitar"; an example of Eno's use of descriptive names for instruments used - Eno likened Fripp's solo to the way sparks jump between the electrodes of the Wimshurst Machine generator. The Wimshurst machine is an electrostatic device for generating high Voltages developed between 1880 and 1883 by British Inventor James Wimshurst Elsewhere Fripp is described as playing "Wimborne guitar" on the track "Golden Hours," a joke on Fripp's birth in Wimbourne, England.

"Zawinul/Lava" is an instrumental piece with piano, fretless bass and percussion. It reflects a sparse, airy atmosphere similar to Eno’s later album Ambient 1/Music for Airports. Ambient 1 Music for Airports (1978 is an Ambient music album by Brian Eno.

The title track is known in the UK as the theme music for the BBC TV arts series Arena. Arena is a British Television documentary series made and broadcast by the BBC.

Pitchfork Media ranked the album number ten on their Top 100 Albums of the 1970s. Pitchfork Media, usually known simply as Pitchfork, is a Chicago -based daily Internet publication devoted to music criticism and commentary In 2003, the album was ranked number 433 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
