Full review

This Brian Eno creation is in two halves- a louder part and an ambient part , and all tracks give an insight into the methods used by Eno to create sound.

His love of ambient- he created after all!- comes tjough in some beautifully crafted pieces, Here he comes drifts effortlessly into Julie with..., and By This River, - you can feel yourself there.

These tracks are in stark contrast to the 'punk' style of Kings Lead Hat (an anagram of Talking Heads, with who Eno worked with great success in the 70s and 80s). The thumping guitar treatments take you back to the era when aggression was the norm.

Buy it and experience the unusual sound of Eno's voice, rarely used in recent times and hear how Eno has beeen an inspiration to bands for the past quarter of a century.
