Brian Eno - Here He Comes

The boy who tried to vanish
Before and After Science is the last Eno album that you can even try to engage in rock terms. It may also be my favorite. Sure, it's got instruments and songs, but in many ways it's all texture. Best enjoyed as pure assemblage of sound that sometimes masquerades as songs, rock as ambient and vice versa. Which is why "Kings Lead Hat" will probably always be my favorite slab of rock n' roll. But these days, I'm really feeling the light and magic of this deep cut. Heard it once accompanying some abstract video art and literally felt like I was merging with the sound field.
