8065 I've always enjoyed Eno's music and reading various interviews (in particular, the one in Wired a number of years back) but I'd never actually heard him in a live interview. In this recording he's calm, well spoken, self-effacing and very interesting--in a way, I suppose like his music. A wide variety of sounds are played throughout the program, the kind of eclectic musical queue you'd expect from Eno. Refreshingly Not Full of Himself norelpref 2003-12-15 22:14:46 2003-12-15 22:13:52 4 15551 A snapshot in time. This interview covers the Eno/Byrne collaboration, "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts". "Another Green World", "Tiger Mountain" were done and U2 was still a local bar band in Belfast. There is a great sense of potential energy aching for release. The use of the music studio as an instrument, as an orchestra, as a symphony - this is his primary topic. (Off the topic, but while I have your attention) IMHO, "Spinning Away" works as layered composition, touching lyric, and for the past few years, bedtime lullaby for my kids. The artist, sketching a sunset, darkening as his 'pencil changes moments into lines', sees his task from the cosmic point of view, 'as the great wheel of the planet spirals in'. The best of the Eno/Cale collaboration (although their 'creative differences' had spun out of control by then, according to Cale's autobiography). Eno just before his peak Tim Szeliga 2004-06-29 08:12:07 2004-06-29 08:12:07 5 Very interesting discussion about music and art, processes and studio techniques. Well worth a listen. Great interview 4 Ajaxmac 2006-04-17 09:43:40 2006-04-17 09:43:40 It's good to see an easy to use audio player here. But surely the quality has suffered. The Eno interview is noticably slower, which, when you consider that this is dealing with sonic arts, is just wrong. It is unfortunate that you have chosen to remove the higher resolution, downloadable versions of Other Minds Archive. I hope this is only temporary and that others will be allowed the benefit of higher quality audio and the playback mechinism of their choice. Great show shame about the format 4 qfwfq 2006-07-03 19:11:29 2006-07-03 19:11:29 I don't intend this as a criticism of the above reviewer. I just can't allow to stand a remark that Eno peaked after 1980. He has always stretched the limits of his own creativity, a period which began long before 1980. To be sure, commercial bands like U2 might have fizzled out without Eno's contribution, but are we to completely dismiss earlier experiments? I don't think so. Before his peak? 5 schroeder915 2006-09-24 21:08:02 2006-09-24 21:08:02 this is great Life in the bush of ghosts eno nigeldavahah 2009-10-30 12:23:29 2009-10-30 12:23:29 3 6 4.17
