This discography is based on Eno’s own list of his works to 1986. (See Brian Eno and Russell Mills, “Biographical Notes,” More Dark Than Shark [London: Faber and Faber, 1986], 138-9.) I have reorganized and amplified it, added identifying record, cassette, or CD numbers, and omitted the sections of “selected commissions to score music,” “selected uses of Music For Films,” “video works,” and “audio-visual installations.” Recordings within each section are listed chronologically. The information under each listing is taken from the recordings themselves, and occasionally from other sources.
