Whilst lots of people think of the USA as the main player in English language music, Britain has created a significant range of great music as well. As with every art form there is a lot of scope and variation in the art, and that is reflected by British producers such as Brian Eno, who has a wide collection of various genres in his discography. Music is ever changing and producers like the one mentioned have helped to generate new art forms.
