Ive also recently been listening to Gavin Bryars. Both albums mentioned are great.

If you want another Brian Eno Obscure records release from the 70s, then you should try this Michael Nyman album. Its one of my favorites.

Decay Music by Michael Nyman

There's a very special Gavin Bryars album: Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet where he taped some tramp in the street and the same sentence is repeated over and over again the whole record but in some kind of very moving way. Near the end of the album Tom Waits joins in in repeating that sentence.

Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet by Gavin Bryars
Not something to listen to every day but in a way the whole thing is heartbreaking.

Looks amazing, Hayden! Just stole (yet another) rec from it. This time The Sinking of the Titanic by Gavin Bryars. Anything you can tell me about it or Bryars to prepare me for listening to this album. Not sure what to expect at all as I've never heard of it or him.

The Sinking Of The Titanic flits in and out of my overall top 100 from time-to-time. It's a minimalistic concept piece. Classical, somber, certainly not 'exciting', but absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking if you pay close enough attention. Dark room, loud speakers, let it haunt you. Some of Brian Eno's most well-suited production. Here's the Wikipedia blip on it:

Inspired by the story that the band on the RMS Titanic continued to perform as the ship sank in 1912, it recreates how the music performed by the band would reverberate through the water some time after they ceased performing. Composed between 1969 and 1972, the work is now considered one of the classics of British experimental music

There's several rerecording, but stick to this one. Get the version where Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet is the b-side, it's equally as brilliant (and somewhat underappreciated as its own piece). Should be a 50-min album.

.

Found it! sounds great so far. 😁

I think it's awesome that there's actually an album called Expensive Shit. That is so great.

Give it a listen, it's even better than the title. Not Fela's best, but unquestionably top 3 or 4. Frankly, this list needs a bit more of him. I don't even have Zombie on here for some reason.
