Eric Tamm's magnificent study of Eno is officially and freely available online (download the zipfile). Although most writing about music is like dancing about architecture (a witticism attributed variously to Frank Zappa, Elvis Costello, and Laurie Anderson), Tamm brings history and perspective to Eno's inventive notions about the development and creation of music.

Eno's own liner notes to his 1975 composition Discreet Music include an excellent explanation of his process in treating Pachelbel's Canon in D; three of the resulting pieces form the B side of the album.
