Some may be interested in tonight’s [Fri 22nd Jan] 'Arena' on BBC4 [TV] which is an observational documentary on musician and producer - amongst other things - Brian Eno.

It starts at 9pm and is followed by a program reviewing some of his more popular work.

Link to BBC site listing further info and repeat times.

This program is now available on the BBC iPlayer for those outside the UK, or without other means to view.

As is often the case with documentaries these days, it veered towards 'style over substance' with the filmmaker desperate to stamp they're own mark on the production... personally I would rather more talk and less unnecessary visual baggage.

I'm not a huge fan of Eno's solo work, I personally find him more interesting as a producer, though I do love 'On Land' and 'Thursday Afternoon' - he is undoubtedly an extremely interesting and intelligent person... his published diary 'A Year With Swollen Appendices' is a far better insight to the man, his thoughts and his work than this show.

Did anyone else see it?

I saw a bit of it, and it was really interesting, I don't know a lot about their work, other than the Roxy Music stuff so it was interesting to hear what kind of things inspired his work. I liked what he said about creating music to fit in with a place (or words to that effect). I enjoyed the other shows about his work too, I really should go and watch them all again on iPlayer.
