The French language version of Brians Diary came with a CD of music that was mentioned in the text. In all there are six tracks of music. These feel like works in progress or personal recordings, of which Eno apparently keeps a huge number in his studio.

26 July 1995	Ikebukuro / Swarowski Soup	Based on Ikebukuro from Shutov Assembly with other elements that Eno describes as a 'soup'.
25 April	Orchestral Marstall	The diary talks about adding in sounds of crickets and thunder, but the track sounds like MIDI orchestra voices in a slow pensive 'filmic' track.
29 September	Cold Jazz 2	For the 'Heat' soundtrack, described in the diary as 'having a ridiculously athletic chromatic runs'.
25 April	Mad Jazz Piano	Similar to Cold Jazz 2 but with piano runs.
4 August	With Howie B	Result of a jamming seesion with turntablist Howie B. Very nearly dance
27 September	Heat Beat	Edgy percussive track from the 'Heat' soundtrack.

The French Diary and CD seems to be still available from European book sellers, I got mine from proxis.be last year in Belgium and the French arm of Amazon etc would probably have it as well.
