I think he said that right now the earliest track is from 1990, which is slightly less interesting, because it probably just means tons of generative stuff, but who knows.

his generative music is good

eisimpleir (crĂĽt), Wednesday, 9 June 2021 16:58 (two years ago) link

I agree, but it's generative, so he could have his own station playing a song that is constantly changing forever if he wanted to.

I thought this revive was for the great new Eno interview on Rick Rubin's podcast.

Wow, that exists? Cool.

I thought it was for two of his best regarded collaborators—Budd and now Hassell—going inside six months.

I've never seen this, it's a good adjunct to the re-release of the '95 diary, lot's of footage in his studio while working on Force Marker (that got used in the Heat soundtrack)

Not sure if this is the best place to post, but we've lost another collaborator - Djivan Gasparyan died on Tuesday. I got his two All Saints released as part of Warp's AS reissue series a few years back and they are truly gorgeous. Gutting to lose so many of the All Saints / Opal set in such a short space of time :(

I’m sure I can’t afford this, but it looks like it would sound amazing.

"edition of 50"

"enquire"

I'm pretty sure most people can't afford it. Anyway Im' sure the lights cause a hum that gets picked up by the cartridge or whatever, but it does look cool.

That hum is a seed tone for the generative music that the turntable plays when it's not actually playing a record.

20,000 GBP

Wow that’s even pricier than I was expecting

It does change color when you scan the album cover, that is pretty cool

frogbs, Thursday, 16 December 2021 00:52 (two years ago) link

As a limited edition of 50, by a major artist, I don't know what price would be fair, but 20,000? Sure, why not.

In fact, I got a tape of that in my stocking in 1990. I think that was my last year with stocking stuffers, too. I retain the association with Toblerone.

Listened to some of that Lighthouse show today. Really enjoyable! Did he do more than that one episode?

Naive Teen Idol, Thursday, 3 March 2022 04:53 (two years ago) link

I remember when that Lighthouse radio project thing came out, they were saying they'd keep adding music to it and might even go earlier than the 90's. I'm very curious whether they ever actually did add more to it. Is there just this wide, wild Eno vault quietly being opened up over there? I guess I'd have to pay to find out.

OneSecondBefore, Thursday, 3 March 2022 17:02 (two years ago) link

i just had a thought reading brian arno up there. is eno pronounced e-no or ah-no?

Yeah I totally would. Whereas the Curiosities releases were pretty uninspired, the music on this is mostly great and varied (the funk track at 28’ or so is hilarious) and enjoyable and Eno is an unsurprisingly delightful host. Lots of pretty amusing stories – him describing people during punk looking down on ambient performed by “this effete bald man” was particularly great.

Director Gary Hustwit has announced a new documentary project on Brian Eno. Looks ambitious, not to mention really cool.

thinkmanship (sleeve), Thursday, 4 August 2022 01:43 (one year ago) link

curious about the new album, personally I find his more recent vocal work (e.g. this new single and The Ship) to be just a bit too chill for me, the last thing I really connected with that I easily recall was "This" from Another Night On Earth... um 20 years ago. still love the dude and will listen to anything/everything tho

stewart brand counterpoint:

Stewart Brand is held up as one of the key figures in Silicon Valley’s history, but as they seek to celebrate his life, there’s an ongoing reassessment of his impact and the world he’s worked to create. @BigMeanInternet tells me his billionaire backers aren’t ready to hear it. https://t.co/Pp2j80XmYX

That Stewart Brand film inadvertently makes him come off as an idiot unless it's been recut?

with hidden noise, Saturday, 6 August 2022 15:37 (one year ago) link

Stewart Brand became famous by being nominally part of the counterculture while eschewing anything that reeked of politics, spirituality or even morality. He specifically rejected the value of anything called wisdom - "the he said she said of history", he called it. Burning Man's polyamourous STEM nerds creating toothless art in a secluded desert space is kind of the ultimate expression of his ethos. May his name be forgotten.

Alright let’s hear “Fickle Sun (I)”!

Karl Malone, Friday, 2 September 2022 13:45 (one year ago) link

amazed he has all the lyrics memorized -- i have listened to that song hundreds of zillions of times, recognized it quickly, and i have no idea what the lyrics are! the only thing i would have said for certain is the word "knees" lol

The Triumphant Return of Bernard & Stubbs (Raymond Cummings), Saturday, 3 September 2022 15:59 (one year ago) link

same, and i would not have gotten "knees", either!

however i can definitely join in for a spirited whistle or hum-along to all of the instrumental action

Karl Malone, Saturday, 3 September 2022 16:10 (one year ago) link

I had entirely forgotten that the song even has lyrics. The main thing I always think of is that guitar sound and the main melody. Anyway, this is Busking Done Right
