dunno about that v last one but the others yes. I just thought I'd heard all the early/glam stuff

I like that walkabouts song a lot, because it is one of the very rare songs that actually sounds like something Eno would have recorded circa another green world.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 8 February 2017 23:17 (seven years ago) link
ooh did not know the details on that Walkabouts song
"Belldog" is killer
Outic have u heard the BBC session bootleg with "Fever"? That's great too.
studio version of "Miss Shapiro" on Manzanera's Diamond Head is IMO far superior to the 801 Live version, tons of Eno vocals.
Robert Wyatt's "Heaps Of Sheeps" probably fits into this as well

did not know "the lion sleeps tonight" a la eno existedit sounds kinda sped up? also pretty unremarkable aside from sounding like it's being sung by muppets

I'm guessing that the version of "Chemistry" that appears on the other side of a promo 7" with Kate Bush's "Be Kind To My Mistakes" (both from the film Castaway) is just the same as the track on the Jon Hassell collaboration (Fourth World Vol 1)? A bit of YouTubing suggests so, so I can't add it to the stack of deep cuts in here ;) (Hassell not credited on that single).

yeah I'd guess that it's all narration, was more curious about Eno's musical contributions in the background

Tape Op just published a good interview with Brian Eno done back in 2011. I thought it was worth a listen.

I've been listening to Reflection nearly every night for the past month
In an interview Eno mentions that the app takes into account time of day, time of year, and temperature as variables in the composition, which I don't think has been mentioned anywhere else - so you might want to throw it on in the morning

I had no idea that Brian Eno produced the first Devo album until today! I learn something new ALL the time.
― scott seward, Sunday, 12 February 2017 00:51 (seven years ago) link
mark mothersbaugh has mentioned in interviews the existence of a jam session tape with devo, eno, bowie, and holger czukay. that would be interesting.
― increasingly bonkers (rushomancy), Sunday, 12 February 2017 13:09 (seven years ago) link
they've said in interviews that he didn't do that much on the LP. That he had ideas but they had been playing for 6 years already and had a very good idea about what the album should sound like.
― dan selzer, Sunday, 12 February 2017 14:02 (seven years ago) link
Eno himself has said he barely did anything. I think it (along with the aborted Television sessions and No New York) was Eno trying to figure out how to be a producer, rather than just the smart guy with a suitcase synth adding gurgles and stuff, and also how to ingratiate himself into punk/new wave; weirdly, the more intransigent Fripp had an easier time with the same transition. It's not until Talking Heads that Eno really steps into his own as a producer, as such, and even that is more or less still collaborative; the fallout between him and Byrne after Remain in Light was sparked by the feeling that he had become a full-fledged fifth member. When U2 came to him for Unforgettable Fire, Eno first demurred and referred them to Lanois (himself a relative unknown) as the primary producer, but of course Eno stuck around to help.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 12 February 2017 14:28 (seven years ago) link
Eno said he had Jerry Casale more or less standing looking over his shoulder at the mixing desk, saying "What are you doing that for?" I'm sure I read JC admit that Eno had a lot of great ideas that they were too uptight to let him carry out.
― Eats like Elvis, shits like De Niro (Tom D.), Sunday, 12 February 2017 14:29 (seven years ago) link
For sure, if you look at the Marquee Moon thread, you have Richard Lloyd claiming Eno wanted to do shit like glue the amps to the ceiling. Even the first Eno/Talking Heads records is not terribly radical. Things get weird with Fear of Music and Remain In Light, no doubt when Eno got more confident and started to impose his ideas.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 12 February 2017 14:33 (seven years ago) link
well, the album was their first album, and they knew perfectly well what they wanted it to sound like. i will give eno credit as a producer because it does sound like that - it's a much better produced album than, say, "talking heads 77". if eno had come on on "duty now for the future" or, even more interestingly, "freedom of choice", well, the results would probably have been very different.
― increasingly bonkers (rushomancy), Sunday, 12 February 2017 15:12 (seven years ago) link
i don't think i've ever actually listened to the differences between those early self-produced devo singles and the same songs on the first album. did devo ask for eno? obviously signing with a big label the label is going to want a real producer. which i guess is funny because eno wasn't a "real" producer.
i don't know how i never knew that. i never listened to devo much.
― scott seward, Sunday, 12 February 2017 17:11 (seven years ago) link
bowie was an early booster and played a big role in getting them record company interest, i seem to recall. eno got involved through bowie.
― increasingly bonkers (rushomancy), Sunday, 12 February 2017 17:17 (seven years ago) link
Didn't Bowie have something to do with the album, too?
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 12 February 2017 17:29 (seven years ago) link
In 1977, David Bowie and Iggy Pop received a tape of Devo demonstration songs from the wife of Michael Aylward, guitarist in another Akron, Ohio band, Tin Huey.[6] Both Pop and Bowie, as well as Brian Eno and Robert Fripp, expressed interest in producing Devo's first release.[7] At Devo's New York debut show in 1977, Bowie proclaimed that "this is the band of the future, I'm going to produce them in Tokyo this winter."[7] Eventually, Eno was chosen to produce the album at Conny Plank's studio located near Cologne, Germany.[7] Bowie was busy with filming Just a Gigolo but helped Eno produce the record during weekends.[7][8]
― new noise, Sunday, 12 February 2017 17:30 (seven years ago) link
probably didn't even need eno if conny plank was there. devo and conny could handle it. did devo ever say anything about working with conny?
― scott seward, Sunday, 12 February 2017 17:33 (seven years ago) link
devo could've done it themselves. There's a whole big back-story that I don't remember where there were some labels fighting over them. Richard Branson really wanted to sign them but his plan was to have them back Johnny Rotten.
Scott...if you really haven't listed to much devo, that's kind of crazy.
― dan selzer, Monday, 13 February 2017 05:40 (seven years ago) link
The Devo record was probably not unlike The Stooges a decade earlier with John Cale, "get that English weirdo to produce those guys I don't get it at all but some people seem to like what they are doing and we might be able to sell a few to the college crowd."
― earlnash, Monday, 13 February 2017 05:44 (seven years ago) link
"Scott...if you really haven't listed to much devo, that's kind of crazy."
I know. It is. I don't know what to say. All their albums pass through my hands sooner or later year in and year out. I don't think i've ever listened to an entire album. I have weird things like that. I don't know if i've ever listened to an entire Ramones album except for the first one.
I've heard all these people a lot though...osmosis.

Cale is not English
― wins, Monday, 13 February 2017 07:53 (seven years ago) link
Cale added that one note piano to I Wanna Be Your Dog, which is a bigger contribution to the Stooges than anything Eno added to the Devo album.

― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 13 February 2017 13:06 (seven years ago) link
We're both wrong - it wasn't actual monkeys but a Javanese "monkey chant" & it is on the record, pretty much the only idea of his they allowed him to use

ramayana monkey chant is on the first devo album? i never pegged that
