we saw the lovers, the modern lovers
and they looked very good
they looked as if they could

Have you got Another Green World?

Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 18:32 (twelve years ago)

yeah heard it and it's not so much for me even though I appreciate that its charms may be even more refined

this is simply a total fucking headrush

I listened to "Burning Airlines Give You So Much More" this morning and it was indeed great

Moodles, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 19:36 (twelve years ago)

i listened to "the true wheel" as i walked out of the house to go to work on this sunny fall day and it felt like my personal theme song

Thanks a lot, now I have to play this. Not that it isn't awesome.

Robert Wyatt's entrance in "Put a Straw Under Baby" gets me every time. It's made me laugh out loud on the tube before now; can't believe no-one voted for this track.

mahb, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 20:59 (twelve years ago)

on my third consecutive listen-through having never heard this before

HAVE YOU SEEN ME? Please don't hesitate (imago), Wednesday, 23 October 2013 21:00 (twelve years ago)

:-D

have lived with it for 10 years, love it unreservedly. This revive forced me to listen to it again

Always loved ANG + Here Come The Warm Jets more, but hey time for another listen.

Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 21:14 (twelve years ago)

have you heard warm jets imago? prefer it to this but imperial phase eno, not much in it

xp!

Cindy tells Me is such a blast.

Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 21:25 (twelve years ago)

oh actually I know you have, you posted about driving me backwards in the 70s rock poll iirc?

man that seems a long time ago

I've not heard HCTWJ in one connected sitting, maybe, but I've heard it all and consider it a blast

HAVE YOU SEEN ME? Please don't hesitate (imago), Wednesday, 23 October 2013 21:27 (twelve years ago)

Another Green World poll would be more difficult to pick from to me. The top 3 results in this thread is my exact same ranking.

Moka, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 21:28 (twelve years ago)

we climbed
and we climbed
oh how we climbed

well that and here comes the warm jets... i'd probably end up voting for needle but title track and baby's on fire are awesome too.

Moka, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 21:28 (twelve years ago)

Just sat through the whole damn thing and yes it is very good! Just haven't heard it for years.

reeemeeembeeer meee

what a horribly farmed "cock" (wins), Wednesday, 23 October 2013 21:46 (twelve years ago)

4 listens complete. 5th impending

HAVE YOU SEEN ME? Please don't hesitate (imago), Wednesday, 23 October 2013 22:06 (twelve years ago)

there is actual magic in this music. something on the mastertape that can't be explained by science

Robert Wyatt's entrance in "Put a Straw Under Baby" gets me every time. It's made me laugh out loud on the tube before now; can't believe no-one voted for this track.

Never realized it was Wyatt turning into a crow. Sounds like one of Eno's ladyfriends as well.

Naive Teen Idol, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 22:39 (twelve years ago)

yay lj!

This was always my favourite Eno "song" record. It was also the first one I heard! He caught me with the electric piano entrance on "Burning Airlines" and killed me whistle solo in "Judy's Jungle"

In another country
With another name
Maybe things are different
Maybe they're the same

JoeStork, Wednesday, 23 October 2013 22:53 (twelve years ago)

This record is killer. Kinda sad that "Straw Under Baby" got no votes. Robert Wyatt + Brian Eno gimme more!

Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 24 October 2013 00:10 (twelve years ago)

two weeks pass...

So so so so good. Am enjoying humming the Bat Out Of Hell solo under Mother Whale Eyeless' bridge though. The record's making me a bit sad, in the way that all cosmic art does

durianlychee (imago), Saturday, 9 November 2013 14:52 (twelve years ago)

title-track is the saddest song. actually crying right now. fuck

imago, Sunday, 10 November 2013 23:13 (twelve years ago)

keep it together man

imago, Sunday, 10 November 2013 23:15 (twelve years ago)

it's just kinda ridiculous how at the end of an album with 9 tracks of unrelenting joy he just blasts you with the saddest fucking thing you've ever heard

imago, Sunday, 10 November 2013 23:16 (twelve years ago)

i'm a mess

imago, Sunday, 10 November 2013 23:16 (twelve years ago)

this might be one of the greatest albums ever made

imago, Sunday, 10 November 2013 23:16 (twelve years ago)

I've always found it quite uplifting...

Number None, Sunday, 10 November 2013 23:17 (twelve years ago)

imago is a true man

nostormo, Sunday, 10 November 2013 23:19 (twelve years ago)

i find not uplifting nor sad. just beautiful.

nostormo, Sunday, 10 November 2013 23:22 (twelve years ago)

I find the effect more, well, affecting on the second side of "Before and After Science." "Spider & I" ...

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 11 November 2013 00:51 (twelve years ago)

x2

Naive Teen Idol, Tuesday, 12 November 2013 00:24 (twelve years ago)

ending the album with that track is incredible. a stroke of incredibility.

mother whale eyeless is the underrated gem on this album though.
