Mr. Eno is a modernist minimalist in most of this. He's dabbled in UK political think-tanks in recent years and has an opinion on everything.

He was part of the art-college boom of musicians in the 70s/80s in Britain.
Recently he finally agreed to re-join 'Roxy Music' alongside his one-time 'two many narcissistic peacocks for one roost' rival and colleague Bryan Ferry. They toured not long ago, and are releasing a new album soon.
