It is not false modesty when I admit I'm no great musician, I'm a bit of
musical Utility Player, a bit of guitar here, a bit of bass there, even
a maraca or two. Inevitably it is the instrument I have least
theoretical knowledge of that I play in Johnny Domino, the keyboard. I
take solace that I share non-musician status with Brian Eno. I have
always loved synths, the older and more gnarly the better. They don't
gnarlier than Eno's VCS 3 on the first two Roxy Music album. All the
musicians in Roxy were quirky and individualistic but only Eno could
unleash the mayhem on 'Editions of You'
Roxy Music- Editions of You
I don't know an awful lot about his later career but any man involved with Devo and Talking Heads can be forgiven U2.
