Brian Eno - C or D?

its Saturday morning and i got some coffee and = i am loving this so much rn

who would have access to the video in such pristine quality?

Brian Eno's talking head, Brian_Eno?

idk

i have no idea honestly but is that the first place it showed up to a wider audience? i don't remember the exact # of views it had when i watched it, but it was not a huge number.

it was around 600 views when i watched it. lucky to have caught it! (thanks ilx!)

On Vimeo for the moment.

In other news, I’m enjoying digging into Finding Shore. The obvious reference point is Eno’s work with Budd but this is a very different thing. I’m not familiar with Rogerson‘s work prior to this and while there is plenty of texture there’s also lots of odd, plunky and clunky moments and unresolved harmonies. If anything, I find it more in keeping with some of the slightly grittier digital soundscapes Eno’s been mining since The Ship than much of anything that came before it.

Just walked into the front room and mistook this woman on Come Dine With Me for Brian Eno. pic.twitter.com/Ld9Jt1tRZN

LOL

Uncanny

His influence is everywhere

just heard eno & cale "the river" on wcsb radio right now, didn't know what it was and thought "what the fuck is this, this is like a country song"

it is really good

whole album is essential imo

listened to the rogerson collab this morning — pretty good! some Budd-ian moments, some On Land-type moves ... I liked it.

Interesting approach, iirc. Eno essentially used the piano to trigger various self-generated synth tones and sounds, kind of a fusion of human composition and generative music.

right! here's the PR copy:

Eno's influence on Finding Shore began by enabling Rogerson to overcome his fear of committing any one piece to its own album. As a way to open Rogerson up, Eno suggested they try experimenting with the Piano Bar, an obscure piece of Moog gear that works by using infrared beams focussed on each piano key; these are then broken as the keys are played, transforming the piano's note into a midi signal that can then be used to trigger or generate new, digital sound. As Rogerson improvised at the piano, Eno improvised with the midi signal to create a unique piece of music.

Iirc for maybe Budd's Plateaux of Mirrors or the Pearl, Eno apparently had the piano room pumped full of mist.

Except that, um, Ring of Fire actually is a country song, so ...

I love how much Eno and Lanois use the Omnichord.

His “You Don’t Miss Your Water” is great too. No Omnichord IIRC but great flat stacks of Eno harmonies.

the lovely bones soundtrack is so good i almost want to watch the movie

Some stuff on the underrated second Brian Eno/Karl Hyde album is as lovely as anything he has ever done. Thinking specifically of "Cells & Bells," which is ... not on youtube.

https://www.beatport.com/track/cells-and-bells-original-mix/5573621

both of those hyde albums are great. I liked the second one more than the first when it came out, but now I like them both equally.

yeah these days I can't remember which one was slighted in the reviews

i thought the second one was the more celebrated of the two. never got round to hearing the first because of all the reviews i saw were kind of lukewarm

they pair together extremely well. but cells and bells is the best song from either album and it's weird that it was only released on the vinyl.

First one got a lukewarm reception, second one much more enthusiastically received. But because the first one got the lukewarm reception a lot of people didn't listen to the second one, which is why I said it was underrated. I should have said it was under listened to.

the second one was allegedly more off-the-cuff and improvised than the first. although it doesn't really sound that way to me.

anyway lately I've been getting into Roger Eno, who I dismissed for years. But Voices is a very lovely album, and I even like the new-agey boring Channel Light Vessel and the album with Kate St. John.

I wasn't aware that I'd missed an exclusive Eno/Hyde track. But it's "On A Grey Day" not "Cells and Bells", right?

Okay, that's tremendous and def worth the search. And since I picked up the CD of High Life, I don't have "Slow Down, Sit Down and Breathe" either. Disappointing although this one seems to have a lesser impact.

I've also been on a Roger Eno reevaluation. He's far deeper into the classical/romantic pool than his brother but Roger's albums are only a short distance from latter period Roedelius and all of the currently hip 80s instrumental artists from Japan, Spain and Italy. You might want to check the more rhythmic collaborations with Plumbline, which are livelier than the CLV albums.

(Roger) Eno's "Voices" is a beaut. It's produced by Lanois and features Brian, which makes it a close cousin to "Apollo," in some regards. This is my fave from it:

Mine is “Grey Promenade,” the last track. The warble on the piano reverb is exquisite. Tho I actually prefer Roger’s second album, Between Tides, which is less indebted to Eric Satie and produced by Michael Brook.

Deep cut!

love that whole album, recently listened to it!

same here. it's

i think maybe it's my favorite of his krautrock collabs?

How have I never heard or heard of this?

Not bad! It's a couple former Adam Ant guys.

Huh, and this one:

And this one!

Marco Pirroni is a bit more than just a couple former Adam Ant guys.

The Models. The first appearance of Sioxsie and the Banshees, the amazing Rema Rema. Also co-wrote most of Adam Ant's hits. Punk rock legend.

Oh, I know who he is, but I think co-writing most of Adam Ant's hits is his most prominent achievement.

Dirk Wears White Socks is very Eno influenced.

i like that wolfmen album a lot!

Don’t forget this one:
