Been on a huge Eno kick lately. Looking forward to hearing this.

[D.o.S.]

On a musical level, I wanted to make a record of songs that didn't rely on the normal underpinnings of rhythmic structure and chord progressions but which allowed voices to exist in their own space and time, like events in a landscape. I wanted to place sonic events in a free, open space.

So... it's an Eno record, then?

Looking forward to it.

Confession: I've never heard any of his work. Actually, I've never heard of him until a couple of weeks ago. Now I hear his name all the time. Maybe I just haven't been paying attention. Weird.

You've probably heard some of his work with David Bowie. The song "Heroes" for example.

I will, once again, champion Oblique Strategies, too. It's especially nice bit of direction when you have some new gear that you haven't tested yet.
