Sublime Eno
Albeit the fanbase may have difficulties Eno-volving. Eno amazingly continues to mature. Beautiful, simply beautiful. If you are a fan of Eno w/ Lyrics, ala Another Green World, make your purchase. I highly doubt you'll regret it after the 85th listening. Stunning. Tearjecking. Heartrending. Listen and evolve.


Subtle and thoughtful
Particularly beautiful are "Caught Between," "How Many Worlds," "Bottomliners," and "Just Another Day," all of which are equal in quality to Eno's early vocal material. There are no tracks like "Baby's on Fire" or "King's Lead Hat," but much of this album is reminiscent of Eno's mellower songs on his first four albums.

Eno's lyrics always seemed to be created for sonic effect rather than for depth of meaning, but on this album his words and thoughts come to the fore. Particularly striking is the final track, "Bone Bomb," which analyzes the psychology of a female suicide bomber.

For those who have never heard Eno sing, he is not a great vocalist. His voice does have a haunting quality about it that grows on you, however. Inge Zazaliene adds a nice touch in "Going Unconscious," and Aylie Cooke's reading of the lyrics of "Bone Bomb" makes a strong impression.


FIVE STAR STUFF
A few fillers, but most of the tracks pay off on repeated listening. Not as good as WARM JETS or TAKING TIGER MTN (how could it be?), but still, some mighty fine Eno-ite stuff here. .


Mature; it's growing on me
Eno, right after he left Roxy Music. It didn't hit me over the head right away, not like his classic 1970's vocal albums when he was the old multi-colored, multi-gendered alien invader Capt. But gawrsh, that was over 30 years ago; there would be something wrong, if he hadn't grown, if he were frozen in (admittedly fantastic) time, if he still did the same things he did back then, right?

So, now, "this" (pun intended, from the lyrics of one song) it is growing on me, creeping along in my subconscious memory, after a few replays. . . . . . and I think that's kind of his matured intention.

Engaging the subliminal . . . Not a direct square hard brick, not a smoking "Baby's on Fire", but rather, a . . . . ? a growing sense of deja vu, something you remember out of a dream?

I mean, these are songs, with great production, lyrics, his honest/imperfect voice, way more upfront than some "ambient" soundscape, but still sharing, or growing out of, that same sense of surrealistic haunting, established by some of his best "ambient" works.

Another Day on Earth
Great mix between electronics and sing. One of his bests with Ambient 1, music for airports. Very nice!.
