Books like On Some Faraway Beach: The Life and Times of Brian Eno

Fine, as bios go. There's some great stuff early on, and up until 1980 or so, the book is fairly compelling. But after that, perhaps the author's appetite dies with mine, for the whole U2 experience is dismissed within a dozen or so pages. This is fine by me, as I have little interest in U2, but it does serve to give the narrative a bottom-heavy feel, with almost every week in 1974 (for example) being covered before a sprint through two decades' worth of projects, the 80s and 90s, with many left out. I'd have done the same thing, of course.Much as I devour these things and enjoy the details, I frequently find the standard rock bio format is insufficient for all but the most standard of biodegradable rockers. Eno warrants something more speculative, perhaps.
