His work on James' record Wah Wah actually feels the closest in that regard to Another Green World that I've heard from Eno as producer. It's a really underrated gem.

Bowie was influenced by Brian Eno on "Low" but Eno didn't actually produce that one.

True, Visconti is credited as Producer, but Eno did contribute a lot to the record beyond influence.

The stuff Eno did with U2 did a better job at incorporating the ambient music into the singles. "Bad" and "Unforgettable Fire" are fantastic pop songs that envelop the listener in layers of atmosphere.

I always think I'd enjoy this one more if the slow songs and fast ones were more shuffled in the playing order. As it is it's still good though. Born Under Punches is my favorite song by the Heads.
