One of the liberations over the last few years has been the realisation that everybody actually like those recording made in garages and swimming pools. Acoustics don't have to be neutral. That idea of the acoustics being neutral is left over from classical music the idea that there could be a perfect recording environment, a transparent environment. Eno is prepared to leave no quarter on this one. Acoustic space is active, so let's not worry about it.
Good players respond to the space they are in.
I think most of the attempts to standardise the activity of recording have been based on a philosophy that is really obsolete. And rock music has made it obsolete, because we've grown up listening to things that have either been recorded in weird places and we like the weirdness or which have been made weird after the event. So they've been recorded in neutral spaces but then people have spent hours making them sound like they've been recorded in garages or canyons or something. It's rooted in the Renaissance idea that we can control the world, organise it into manageable, scientifically measurable compartments. It's all based on the idea that there is a correct starting position.
