Listening to my first new record of the year here.
Brian Eno. Reflection.
Hopefully.
No he is not.
I’m out.
Signing out
Don’t let the door hit your arses on the way out lads.

Does he doing like Alvin from the Chipmunks?
Other way round farmer. I was playing it at 33 instead of 45.
Is it any good mate?
I had an Eno trip to work earlier. Another Green World - 10 out of 10 album. Also had to listen to An Ending (Ascent) while I was there.
The man is a genius.
A pure genius farmer. Album is very good in my view, but it’s very very chilled.
A poor man’s Syd Barrett…
Who is a poor mans Syd Barrett?
Farmer
I’m hoping that’s what he means.
Ah some of Eno’s early stuff is a bit whacky and out there… Banging about in a little canoe etc… I’ve not listened to a pile of his later stuff but some of his ambient stuff is super… Even the stuff I’m not big into you can hear a shit load of artists that he influenced - Bowie / talking heads especially…I’ve never thrown myself fully into his back catalogue tho.
By the River is a beautiful track - it seems for all his whacky tunes he then produces something sublime to accompany it… But what do I know? Fuck all says you…
I imagine you know plenty.
Phil Collins plays the drums on Another Green World.
