The quietest revolutionary in rock is 60. Elvis, Dylan, James Brown, even Oasis, have set more souls alight. But, by working for Microsoft (he wrote the Windows start-up theme), Bowie, U2 and Talking Heads, Brian Eno has parlayed outlandish musical ideas into a ubiquitous and lucrative career.

I first heard the original version of this song on 96 Rock's "Weekend Whistle" about 15 years ago. I was blown away by it, but it took me another 8 years or so to actually find a copy of it.
