Brrrr- it's chilly out. How about some Brian Eno to start the week? In fact, how about an hour long mix of Brian Eno, originally put together by the Test Pressing website back in 2010, no longer available at their website as far as I can tell.
The Producers Series 2 Brian Eno
Many of the tracks selected here have that late 70s and early 80s sound rather than the ambient soundscapes he's as well known for. Strange syncopated rhythms, treated guitars, African influences, multitracked vocals, funk bass, oblique strategies.

A period when Eno was really exploring ideas. It's said he played Byrne and Bowie off each other a bit, and this can be heard on both Lodger and Fear Of Music to my ears.
