On some faraway beach

£14.99

A sonic alchemist to the stars, Brian Eno’s address book is a veritable who’s who of rock and pop. Tellingly, his involvement with Roxy Music, David Bowie, Talking Heads and U2 has coincided with these artists producing their most challenging and critically revered work. ‘On Some Faraway Beach’ is a serious, critical examination of the life and times of Brian Eno, from an idiosyncratic childhood to 1960s art school and the sharp end of pop charts around the world.

FOREWORD BY ALAN WARNER

‘A book that sets new standards for rock biography’ Guardian

Reissued as part of White Rabbit’s Deep Cuts series, On Some Faraway Beach is the first and only ever comprehensive and authoritative biography of Brian Eno, featuring interviews with many of his key collaborators over the years: from Bryan Ferry to David Byrne and Robert Wyatt. First published in 2008, it has been fully revised and updated to cover Eno’s life and creative output since, with brand new material and a new introduction by Alan Warner.

‘This exceptionally well-written biography duly celebrated [Eno’s] great achievements with Roxy, Bowie, Talking Heads and his own solo work in compelling detail’ Uncut

‘[An] honourable, authorised attempt to do justice to a mind-bogglingly restless and prolific subject’ Sunday Times
