I guess trying to make generative music hasn’t been among your interests. Brian Eno is a huge part of all modern interesting music.

LOL this has nothing to do with my personal interests, it’s relevant to the content of the article.

There’s such a thing as cultural context. Beethoven is not known as the EU anthem composer, and Eno is not known as the Windows 95 sound composer. It’s weird to refer to them this way.

Yes, you’re absolutely correct, context is important. In this context, the most relevant achievement of Eno is in the title of the article.
