Oh, and please recommend some documentary too!
David Toop's Ocean of Sound? I did try re-reading this a few years ago and it seemed terribly dated - all mid-90s "chill out rooms" etc. but maybe it's come round again? He talks with Eno a lot. I enjoyed the collection of Eno's diaries, as well, though not exactly what you're asking for.
