More Eno stuff:

For a really fun listen, get Eno's "810 Live" album. It's essentially a live album of Roxy Music with Eno singing instead of Brian Ferry, right around 1975. They do nothing but Eno songs from the first 2 albums, as well as great covers of "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "You Really Got me" (!)
(Edit: Oops, they actually do a few Phil Manzanera songs, not just Eno's. Haven't listened to it in a while.)

I also love Eno's collaborations with the German synth experimentalists Cluster. "The Belldog" from "Cluster & Eno" is one of my fave Eno songs ever.

There's also a great out of print book called "More Dark Than Shark" that features artist Russell Mills' collage paintings depicting every single song from Eno's first 4 albums. I seem to remember he did it as his master's thesis at Royal College of Art London. Nice work and a cool book if you can find it.

And did you know "King's Lead Hat" (from Before & After Science) is an anagram for "Talking Heads?
