Today is the 69th birthday of Brian Eno - musician, composer, record producer, singer, writer, and visual artist. Across five decades, he has recorded solo albums, played synthesizer with Roxy Music, collaborated with and produced many, many artists. He even coined the concept of "ambient music".

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what artists and songs do you want to hear that are in someway connected to Brian Eno?

Make sure to explain the connection in the comments below.

Thanks to Marshall for today's theme idea!
