New Eno-Byrne

Hip Pop Stop

Today's hip tunes. New music that isn't Classic Rock or Jazz!

What do you guys think?

As a big, "old Eno"fan, - I'm lukewarm about this one,- and even maybe a step below. I do like Another Day on Earth, but compared to another Green World,- it's not there. I'm not insanely crazed for My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, -but like it a lot more than this new one. Bush was really innovative, - (a little "dated" now).

I didn't like Neroli but I bought it. And in reverence from him almost signing my band to Opal years ago, and him saying that he liked my work,- I will always buy anything that he does, - but that doesn't mean that I'm going to keep it. Plus, I've been a huge Eno fan since high school in the mid 70s.

This record is almost rootsy, - and it feels like he's trying to be an American. It seems like they're not doing anything musically, - it's all about the vocal melody, and basic harmonic simplicity. I just don't find it interesting, - much less powerful. It seems like he's intentionally not trying to be Eno, (by using his trademark original, and strange sounds).

What do you guys think????

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
