I don't know if I've ever heard them

Surely you have done without realising it.

Yeah, I must've really. Maybe someone can try and tell me how 'Africa' goes. I'm trying to write that Eno essay btw, it's kind of frustrating.

I guess the rain's down in Africa, gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaaaoooo. Or something. Di can sing it better than me :).

Interestingly enough, the soundtrack to the film Dune was recorded by Toto, and the one non-Toto track on the album was by one Brian Eno.

I'm sure you've heard them. I thought I hadn't a while back then I realise they'd been on New World radio heaps.

I read that as "the film Duane"

What Eno track, btw? I'm getting completist twinges. I must forward him my dumb essay, too.

b-b-but that little dog was so annoying!

But shit he was a pretty impressive musician, for a dog

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Thursday, 23 October 2003 14:38 (seventeen years ago) link

And he played everything himself!

i doubt i could improve on damian's rendition of africa. he also knows the words, which is more than you can say for me. i can't even figure out what its about, but when i was a kid it used to freak me out cos the dude sounds so pained in the chorus. especially when he starts flailing about at the end. man i have to listen to it again now.

Andrew - the Eno song is called Prophecy Theme. In fact I have a feeling it's not an Eno song so much as one of those Brian Eno/Daniel Lanois/Roger Eno-type dealies in the style of the Apollo soundtracks, which would rule.

Lukather plays the solo on early 80s potato chip “Physical”
It’s really good
