"Witness" came up on shuffle and absolutely leveled me. The long, long bridge is a bit offputting - very much sounds like Hyde trying to fill in a giant blank - but when the vocal melody comes back it's got to be one of the best moments on any of Eno's vocal albums. "Did you ever take a ride along the road taken all your life, only to find it didn't go to the place you thought it would arrive?" - such a beautiful line. Also just found out there are bonus tracks which are sounding very good right now.

As a lifetime fan of Eno and a longtime fan of Underworld I can't believe I waited until today to give this album the attention it deserves. What a wonder it is.

Someday World or High Life?

Someday World. For some inexplicable reason SW left no immediate impression on me, but High Life did. But listening back to SW, I'm shocked at my lack of a reaction, because it's great.

Both are great! Think I prefer someday world too - initially thought that was the well received one, bought it and loved it immediately

Indeed this is premier cru. For once it is not an ambient snoozefest. In my perception eno - whose 70s music i cherish - hasn't done anything awesome since on land. This grooves! SW I mean.

No way. On Land is full of weird sounds. Totally mesmerizing.

so apparently Hyde scored a play with Matthew Herbert called Fatherland (lol), here's a track from the soundtrack which is (apparently) out already?

surprised to find out that fred gibson, who co-produced these records, has since become a very successful producer in uk pop and rap and nigerian afrobeats as well (he's produced for mr. eazi and burna boy)
