For some this is 'elevator music' - for me it is total escape. (from what I'm not too sure, but escape nevertheless)

Music Head Wrote:sort of thought you were an Enohead, maybe from a previous post.
you see he's got a new one out this week.
haven't read anything about it though, you?

Eno's albums were always a little too out there for me
Being a normal guy and all.

Jerome Wrote:Didn't know he had a new one out - thx for the tip. Yes I confess, at times I am a pure egghead (translated - wishy washy cosmic nonsense). But I prefer it when it is combined with more conventional instruments. The problem with ambient music is that someone can record a fart with loads of reverb and echo and let it fade away over period of er, let's say 30 or 40 minutes, and then give it some mystical name or call it opus No 72 or something and no-one would be any the wiser. It does not need a key or a structure or form which allows 'artists' to get away with anything. When it is used as a backdrop to a more familiar/conventional structure it can be very effective. Mr Wakeman comes to mind here. (Think of the abstract keyboard passages on 'Tales from Topographic Oceans').

This album is titled with the bands name on the cover. If it's good enough for Neil.....Shows as Neils 16th album. Didn't do too well here at #75, nor in the homeland at #42. Didn't know that most of these songs were recorded from two different live concert appearances. This album would be the last of his five with Geffen Records, where he did not have a good relationship. One of Neils worst selling albums, but I can think of many worse. A good mix up here of rockers and ballads, with topics varying as well, politics, love, career. Love four tracks here with one bomb of Too Lonely. Neil's been around long enough to allow a bomb occasionally.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Too Lonely

Best Track - Long Walk Home

If you see Liberty tell her I will
Buy her windows on the hill
Laud her flowers on the sill
Till they grow higher and higher.

If Liberty was a little girl
Watching all the flags unfurl
Standing at the big parade
How would she like us now?

We balance the power
From hour to hour
Giant guns rage
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home.

From Vietnam to old Beirut
If we are searching for the truth
Why do we feel that double-edged blade
Cutting through our hand?

America, America
Where have we gone?
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home.

We balance the power
From hour to hour
Giant guns rage
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home
It's such a long walk home.
