Fear of Music — 1979

A darker, Eno-produced step toward the rhythmic experiments to come. Tense and inventive. A pivotal record. The one in the run that sometimes gets overlooked — don't let it.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
