Jim - At the time, I dont think we had pure enough acid to 'get into' Eno. It was over my head. Still is.  - I have just recently really got my head around Dylan and Lou Reed. I now enjoy that NYC post beat-nick stuff. Maybe I was a bit too young in the early 60's.

 Don't have a clue what it said now, but I do remember it not being out of line for Eno lyrics :-).



Don't know the "Moebius" but from 'Baby's On Fire"

"Baby's on fire
Better throw her in the water
Look at her laughing
Like a heifer to the slaughter
Baby's on fire
And all the laughing boys are bitching
Waiting for photos
Oh the plot is so bewitching."


So...what WOULD be out of line for Eno lyrics exactly?  

I was/am a Brian Eno fan but more into the minimalist stuff like "No Pussy Footing" and the Discreet and Ambient recordings.

...And no audiophile record collection is complete without "The Portsmouth Sinfonia Plays the Popular Classics".

Wanderer,

I want, want, want a good copy of the pportsmouth Sinfonia!!!  I had a copy, not in terribly great shape, but sold it with my old collection.  I love that album and would love to find another copy.

Did you know that one time both Brian Eno and Sting played in the portsmouth sinfonia?

As for Eno lyrics, that's exactly it -- somewhat dark, out there, etc. is what I meant.

We've got a new thread now, I guess, on Eno.

I've long wanted to hear the Portsmith Sinfonia album!

Another Green World is, for me, a masterpiece. Pure magic.

Sam,

Agreed on AGW -- and in general I consider Brian Eno to be a real innovator and out of the box musical thinker.
