Catalog #:	ASW 63646CD

"In the mid '80s Eno moved away from the sparser sounds of his ambient albums, creating more melodic instrumental pieces like those that first appeared on his albums Another Green World and Before and After Science. It is during this period that Brian Eno, together with Daniel Lanois, began his collaboration with U2 as their producer. The same atmospheric sound textures that permeate U2's The Unforgettable Fire and The Joshua Tree are reminiscent of these Eno albums. Each CD features brand new digital transfers using the latest state-of-the-art technology, with Eno's original master tapes as the source. An album of melodic sound environments that Eno created as imaginary film soundtracks. The music echoes the instrumental pieces on Eno's Before And After Science album. Features Phil Collins, Robert Fripp and John Cale." Jewel-case packaging.

Title:	Ba-Benz�l�/Subterraneans
Label:	SLOW TO SPEAK
Format:	12"
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	EGS 1026EP

Slow To Speak is a gray-area vinyl recontextualization label -- reissuing onto 12" vinyl its favorite tracks -- beyond any obvious genre or stylistic confines. All releases are compiled by Francis Englehardt and Paul Nickerson for Slow to Speak. There are have been close to 30 releases in the past, from Loggins & Messina to Haki R. Madhubuti. Packaging is often elegantly screenprinted. Although some earlier STS releases featured unique "edits", most are just album tracks pressed to vinyl to give new context and availability to classic works from the past -- listen now, ask questions later. This Eno 12" features "Ba-Benz�l�" from Fourth World Vol. 1: Possible Music & "Subterraneans" from the David Bowie's Low album. "Brian Eno is one of the true pioneers of electronic music; from the very beginning of its inception, as one of the most in-demand studio producers of his era, he served as one of its most eager disseminators, accomplishing some of the first syntheses of rock, experimental and electronic music -- and delivering it to popular audiences previously unimagined before his time. In the strangely familiar alien tones & effects of the then excessively intricate and virtually inaccessible synthesizers of the early 1970s, Eno perceived in electronic production the key to popular music's transcendence, its elevation to the level of true intellectual & artistic expression -- an expanse of seemingly endless potential that allowed not only the seasoned & qualified composer to express himself through the new electronic sound, but also provided entrenched genres the opportunity to discard with their embedded orthodoxies & breathe a whole new air of life into their creative process & product. His work with avant-garde trumpet player John Hassell is a deeply inspiring example of this early pioneering. Hassell was himself obsessed with atypical scales & unfamiliar instrumentation, only in his case, he was convinced that in the most remote regions of Earth's untouched & undeveloped sonic landscape lay the most potent tools for music's superseding to the domain of sublime experiential transcendence. With Eno's prowess at the opposite end of the technological scale, the two produced some of the most wildly divergent co-existences of sound, mixing the unsettling tones miraculously produced from Hassell's trumpet -- which were for the most part, inspired by traditional forms of obscure world music -- with the strange warmth of Eno's comforting synth chords & melodic disposition to create music that is at one moment deeply warm, comforting and pleasing to the ears -- only to morph into something suspiciously unfamiliar, uncharted and singularly abrasive -- beautiful still, but unsettling nonetheless... the perfect balance. But it was Eno's work with legendary rock/pop/post-punk superstar David Bowie that demonstrated the breathtaking potential of Eno's electronic aesthetic, its integration into the most resistant of musically-opposite fields, and its true transcendent potential. 'Subterraneans' is the quintessential tragedy in song, a piece that needs no definite lyrical tale to relate its truly melancholic expression, its very notes, its distorted, shivering wails of possibly human melodic groans, its sub-bass synth pads, the only necessity for full expression: undeniably Eno's masterwork. It weeps, not through the deceiving over-intellectualization of poetry, but rather through the pure expression of tonal & melodic sound. This is the essence of Eno's contribution to modern music. Compiled by Francis Englehardt & Paul Nickerson for Slow To Speak." Silkscreened lettering on jacket with glitter.

Title:	Panic Of Looking
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	WAP 322CD

"From the recordings that produced Drums Between the Bells--the acclaimed collaboration between Brian Eno and British poet Rick Holland--comes an all new EP titled Panic Of Looking. The six tracks continue the exploration of how lyric & song-writing are perceived in the post-everything era. As the Sunday Times (UK) suggests, 'the poems aren't sung, yet the pieces are undeniably songlike, first because the music refuses to act simply as background, but lurches frequently, sometimes unexpected to the fore, and second because we hear the meaning of the words in the way we normally pick up song lyrics,' while WIRED Magazine calls Eno's soundscapes, 'a tapestry of pillowy synths, minorkey melodies, chiming guitars and skittering drums.'"

Title:	Small Craft On A Milk Sea
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	WARP 207CD

"The work in this collection is a result of an occasional collaboration between myself, Leo Abrahams and Jon Hopkins. The two of them are gifted young player/composers whose work, like mine, is intimately connected to the possibilities and freedoms of electronic music. Over the last few years we've worked together several times, exploring the huge new sonic territories now available to musicians. Mostly the pieces on this album resulted not from 'composition' in the classical sense, but from improvisation. The improvisations are not attempts to end up with a song, but rather with a landscape, a feeling of a place and perhaps the suggestion of an event. In a sense they deliberately lack 'personality': there is no singer, no narrator, no guide as to what you ought to be feeling. If these pieces had been used in films, the film would complete the picture. As they stand, they are the mirror-image of silent movies - sound-only movies." --Brian Eno

Title:	Drums Between The Bells
Label:	WARP RECORDS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	WARP 214CD

"Pairing prickly electronics with live drum patterns, Eno dumps great globs of blotchy machine -- malfunction into the mix. Holland's poetry is interlaced courtesy of [a] monotone voice...the combined effect makes the whole undertaking sound like a wild William Gibson fantasy come to life." --Pitchfork
"Brian Eno first came across the work of Rick Holland in the late '90s during the Map-Making project; a series of collaborative works between students of the Royal College, the Guildhall School of Music, the Royal Academy of Music, the Royal College of Music, the National Youth Orchestra and the English National Ballet, among others. In 2003, Brian and Rick made their first music together. The resulting work does not appear on this album. In the time since that initial session they have met infrequently to work on new compositions. In early 2011, following the release of Small Craft on a Milk Sea (Brian's debut album for Warp Records), the pair resolved to finish the project. Drums Between the Bells is the result."
