Brian Peter George St. John le Baptiste de la Salle Eno, or better known as simply Eno, is most likely the top 
music producer today. His credits? With his style of emphasizing theory over practice, creating generative music (music that is ever-different and changing) and revolutionizing music production, he has seen much success with David Bowie, David Byrne and the Talking Heads, and even Devo. Perhaps his most famous productions were with U2. He produced seven of their albums, including the famous The Joshua Tree. It is pretty safe to conclude that the man knows how to produce successful album.
Recently, he produced Coldplay’s fourth album Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends which was a tremendous commercial success selling over 8.1 millions copies worldwide. Eno has confirmed that he will be producing Coldplay’s fifth release which Coldplay’s frontman Chris Martin said he wanted to get out by Christmas. I believe this is another good move for both Eno and Coldplay. They work well together and Eno brings out a lot of creativity in the band members. His influence is positive on Coldplay’s music and the new, fresh sound on album #5 is most welcome. I am looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.
Here’s a track from Viva La Vida:
CD Release for 3/2/10:
Permalight by Rogue Wave
The fourth album from alternative rock favorites Rogue Wave is perhaps Zack Rogue and Pat Spurgeon’s best release yet. With added synthesizers and a similar effervescent and pastoral sound, Rogue Wave is maturing musically and doing it quite well. This is also the first album to feature new bassist Cameron Jasper.
