Just thought I'd point out here that Brian Eno has also put out a number of albums, under his own name, on which he doesn't play anything but has planned things (composer). Things like Discreet Music (recent acquisition), Neroli and Thursday Afternoon (getting into ambient territory here) are very good examples of him having very little involvement in the performance, that or it being unimportant. Does it matter what the extent of his involvement was? Seems to me that there shouldn't be a problem as long as everyone is credited with what they did. Just my two pesos.
