The Pure Scenius stuff was okay, there'll probably be a CD of that put out before too long. The last Byrne and Eno record was great, and Drawn from Life was also good. But there are too many really weak releases of noodling like Curiosities lately.
I haven't heard Making Space but some of the same people on the new Warp record are on that one.
― Brakhage, Monday, 23 August 2010 16:57 (2 years ago) Permalink
Pretty much all of his stuff from the past several years has been the product of passive collaboration (save "Another Day on Earth," which is lovely, and the Byrne). "Drawn from Life" was passive collaboration, "Spinner" was passive collaboration. This new one is the result of that live jam at the Sydney Opera House. The "recent" Fripp stuff was pretty spur of the moment, those "Curiosities" drawn from the vaults, and assembled by someone else, at that. Truth be told, I think studio-hogging bands like U2 and Coldplay take up a lot of his time, as do lectures, debates, etc. It perhaps makes sense that the last thing that engaged him creatively seems to have been programming AI/generative music, which if you think about it is not just the apotheosis of all his theories but a good exit strategy. But when people push him (not pull him along) he can still come up with the goods. I'm curious about the new one, for sure.

first impression -- standard issue eno instrumental album with occasional techno flourishes. the resemblance of the cover to the recent U2 album is misleading. i wanted something different, with some 'real songs,' more along the lines of another day on earth, his most under-rated album imho

i quite liked another day on earth when i first heard it but i was really just wanting it to be good i think. i listened to it again recently and i was glad when it finished - except for one track it was very dull. i've liked the 2 streaming tracks i've heard so far on the new one but i imagine it'll have some similarities to the stuff from the recent gigs which i found underwhelming as well.
― nonightsweats, Friday, 22 October 2010 04:57 (2 years ago) Permalink
haven't given this a spin yet, but another day on earth...yeah, two tracks (under, which wasn't new, and bonebomb) are incredible and the rest just floats by me, not a patch on nerve net or wrong way up. if the new one is anything like shutov that would be great, as I think that's a highly underrated album.
― akm, Friday, 22 October 2010 13:44 (2 years ago) Permalink

i totally lost interest in eno after another day on earth. it wasn't bad but it wasn't good neither. lukewarm and boring and very predictable.
― alex in mainhattan, Monday, 25 October 2010 11:43 (2 years ago) Permalink
i've listened to this new one a couple of times now and it's quite ok - better than expected. there's one song that sounds like it was left over from "the drop" but he added some extra non-digital elements (a bit of guitar etc) over the top - which is what he should have done with most of that album, really.
all the energetic pieces are clumped in the middle and i think they're fine if a little formless. they're obviously based on improvs and worked upon (which i think is a great method) but the arrangements are a bit obvious.
the ambient pieces are all too digital sounding for me. i think he was trying for some of the effect of "on land" but they don't quite make it.
still and all, it's one i don't actually tire of hearing so far.

what the hell is up with the production on the Eno/Cale "Wrong Way Up" album? isn't he supposed to be a genius when it comes to production? why does it sound so shitty? btw the music itself is quite good

― brotherlovesdub, Thursday, 21 April 2011 00:22 (2 years ago) Permalink
Technically "Wrong Way Up" is an Eno/Cale co-production, but regardless, Eno's more of an old school style producer, a great idea man who leans heavily on a rotating crew of catch as catch can engineers to make his ideas reality. But I think the dude who engineered a lot or all of this album, David Young, is a guy from Team Cale who goes way back to Cale's first solo albums. So blame him. Though I do believe this album was famously finished under duress.

here is a stream of lux. it sounds pretty dull and predictable. a little like that harold budd collab "the plateaux of mirrors" but without the cottonish, absintish piano sound. it's not really bad but it's a bit like eno on auto-pilot. not that he has been piloting an album himself in the last 20 years. i just had half a listen so that harsh judgement may well be premature. i don't think this is the right music for our times. it is too slow, too boring, just flowing along. these days nobody has got the patience to listen to this kind of ambient music where hardly anything happens. not even me and i am pretty open to this kind of stuff usually. it's just NOT THERE. you need a long breath to bear this aural mobile hardly moving in the airflow.

Largely true, but have you heard Another Day On Earth?
I've been listening to his apps (Bloom and Trope) lately as I go to sleep. To me they seem like the ideal format/sound(s) for his ambient concept. Which is great. But it makes me wonder why the hell anyone would want to buy another ambient album.

btw the last brian eno i enjoyed was 2010's "small craft on a milk sea". the big advantage compared to the new one is that it varies quite a lot. from more introspective, dreamy tracks like the first two or three to more rhythmic pieces up till harder, noisier stuff like "two forms of anger". i neiter liked the songs nor the singing on "another day on earth". there were neither enough adventurous experiments nor gripping tunes on it. for an eno album it was pretty predictable and dull.
― alex in mainhattan, Saturday, 3 November 2012 22:19 (6 months ago) Permalink
I'd really like to hear more passive collaboration stuff from Eno and whomever, sort of like that Jah Wobble disc in reverse. Like, Eno is given someone's draft and basically has at it.
