A universally acknowledged masterpiece, Another Green World represents a departure from song structure and toward a more ethereal, minimalistic approach to sound.
Despite the stripped-down arrangements, the album's sumptuous tone quality reflects Eno's growing virtuosity at handling the recording studio as an instrument in itself (à la Brian Wilson).
There are a few pop songs scattered here and there ("St. Elmo's Fire," "I'll Come Running," "Golden Hours"), but most of the album consists of deliberately paced instrumentals that, while often closer to ambient music than pop, are both melodic and rhythmic; many, like "Sky Saw," "In Dark Trees," and "Little Fishes," are highly imagistic, like paintings done in sound that actually resemble their titles.
Lyrics are infrequent, but when they do pop up, they follow the free-associative style of albums past; this time, though, the humour seems less bizarre than gently whimsical and addled, fitting perfectly into the dreamlike mood of the rest of the album.
Track Listing:
Side 1: Sky Saw / Over Fire Island / St. Elmo's Fire / In Dark Trees / The Big Ship / I'll Come Running / Another Green World
Side 2: Sombre Reptiles / Little Fishes / Golden Hours / Becalmed / Zawinul-Lava / Everything Merges With The Night / Spirits Drifting
LABELS: The labels are clean and unmarked with hardly any spindles - seen light play only - NEAR MINT
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces still retain their original deep, like-new glossy sheen and are practically unmarked (there are a some light and superficial marks but these are purely cosmetic and have no audio consequence - EXCELLENT
VINYL Audio: Sensational audio delivery with a crystal clear, rich, deep and warm sound and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my records prior to listing and it's always a great pleasure to return to this one) there are no scratches, no sticks/jumps, no loud clicks or pops and barely any surface noise (just a touch of crackle between the tracks 'I'll Come Running' and 'Another Green World' - not during the music itself). Otherwise, the playback is practically flawless. Great copy, critically graded EXCELLENT+ for audio
SLEEVE: The original matt cover is good and solid with very little edge or spine wear - all text is clear and bold, but as usual the white portions of the sleeve have picked up some marks but saying that this is actually one of the better ones I've seen (please see photos) - EXCELLENT
and the original black Island inner (with pink i logo) has no splits, just some light creasing - EXCELLENT

Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with 0 feedback contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers
