The serene; delicate songs on Another Green World sound practicallymeditative; but the album itself was an experiment fueled byadrenaline; panic; and pure faith. It was the first Brian Eno album tobe composed almost completely in the confines of a recording studio;over a scant few months in the summer of 1975. The album was a proofof concept for Enos budding ideas of "the studio as musicalinstrument;" and a signpost for a bold new way of thinking aboutmusic.In this book; Geeta Dayal unravels Another Green Worlds abundantmysteries; venturing into its dense thickets of sound. How was analbum this cohesive and refined formed in such a seemingly ad hoc way?How were electronics and layers of synthetic treatments used to createan album so redolent of the natural world? How did a deck of cardsfigure into all of this? Here; through interviews and archivalresearch; she unearths the strange story of how Another Green Worldformed the link to Enos future -- foreshadowing his metamorphosisfrom unlikely glam rocker to sonic painter and producer.

It is packed with valuable information about the symbolism in Buddhist art as well as the way to practice while creating it. It also provides an interesting section about the attitude the artist; purchaser if the art and commissioner of the art shoukd have toward the art and artist. As a budding dharma artist; I learned so much reading it; and have shared (and will continue to share in bits) information in it with a dharma coloring group I meet with about once a month. Vajrayana students will find the information in it very valuable as well. I am grateful to the author for the translations of parts of the Tsering Art School Manual (written in Tibetan) offered here; and to the artist for providing this information to students. It is absolutely lovely.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This book will be a classic of Tibetan Buddhist literature ...By Robert E.
