That actually isn't Eno's personal twitter -- but that's where I found it as well. And o_m, thanks so much for uploading this -- even tho I shared it, I had the in-laws in town and I hadn't seen it yet either! So I just watched it now.
As noted, this documentary of his first album is like an Easter egg for virtually his whole career in there:
Roxy alumnus and longtime collaborators like Spedding and Busta Cherry JonesPortsmouth Simphonia Ambient tape loopsTreatments (with the VCS3 mounted in the board no less)Muses like CindyBusker musicians (how he met Laraaji)
So great.

Too true! Just saw someone who had retweeted it.

THANK YOU for grabbing this outdoor miner ... psyched to watch. the "brian eno" twitter account is annoying to me — everyone thinks it's eno tweeting out links to king crimson bootlegs for some reason.

are you talking about dark shark?
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 29 December 2017 22:43 (six years ago) link
Yeah that’s the one (the actual content is fine but I think a great deal of his followers think they’re retweeting eno himself).

yeah it is clearly not actually brian eno. like he sits around tweeting pictures of himself? he's brian eno!

Could it be Russell Mills?

No, it’s not official in any capacity (which would be fine if if the username wasn’t just “Brian_Eno”).
― tylerw, Saturday, 30 December 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link
the Roxy video collection Total Recall includes a clip of Eno leading the band through "The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch."

Brian Eno's talking head, Brian_Eno?
idk
i have no idea honestly but is that the first place it showed up to a wider audience? i don't remember the exact # of views it had when i watched it, but it was not a huge number.
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Saturday, 30 December 2017 17:24 (six years ago) link
it was around 600 views when i watched it. lucky to have caught it! (thanks ilx!)

In other news, I’m enjoying digging into Finding Shore. The obvious reference point is Eno’s work with Budd but this is a very different thing. I’m not familiar with Rogerson‘s work prior to this and while there is plenty of texture there’s also lots of odd, plunky and clunky moments and unresolved harmonies. If anything, I find it more in keeping with some of the slightly grittier digital soundscapes Eno’s been mining since The Ship than much of anything that came before it.

just heard eno & cale "the river" on wcsb radio right now, didn't know what it was and thought "what the fuck is this, this is like a country song"
it is really good

whole album is essential imo
― sleeve, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 15:22 (six years ago) link
listened to the rogerson collab this morning — pretty good! some Budd-ian moments, some On Land-type moves ... I liked it.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 15:23 (six years ago) link
Interesting approach, iirc. Eno essentially used the piano to trigger various self-generated synth tones and sounds, kind of a fusion of human composition and generative music.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 15:38 (six years ago) link
right! here's the PR copy:
Eno's influence on Finding Shore began by enabling Rogerson to overcome his fear of committing any one piece to its own album. As a way to open Rogerson up, Eno suggested they try experimenting with the Piano Bar, an obscure piece of Moog gear that works by using infrared beams focussed on each piano key; these are then broken as the keys are played, transforming the piano's note into a midi signal that can then be used to trigger or generate new, digital sound. As Rogerson improvised at the piano, Eno improvised with the midi signal to create a unique piece of music.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 15:49 (six years ago) link
Iirc for maybe Budd's Plateaux of Mirrors or the Pearl, Eno apparently had the piano room pumped full of mist.

Except that, um, Ring of Fire actually is a country song, so ...

I love how much Eno and Lanois use the Omnichord.
― Bitcoin Baja (wins), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 20:29 (six years ago) link
His “You Don’t Miss Your Water” is great too. No Omnichord IIRC but great flat stacks of Eno harmonies.

Some stuff on the underrated second Brian Eno/Karl Hyde album is as lovely as anything he has ever done. Thinking specifically of "Cells & Bells," which is ... not on youtube.

both of those hyde albums are great. I liked the second one more than the first when it came out, but now I like them both equally.
― akm, Monday, 8 January 2018 22:11 (six years ago) link
yeah these days I can't remember which one was slighted in the reviews
― niels, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 07:20 (six years ago) link
i thought the second one was the more celebrated of the two. never got round to hearing the first because of all the reviews i saw were kind of lukewarm
― faust apes (NickB), Tuesday, 9 January 2018 11:40 (six years ago) link
they pair together extremely well. but cells and bells is the best song from either album and it's weird that it was only released on the vinyl.
― akm, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 11:52 (six years ago) link
First one got a lukewarm reception, second one much more enthusiastically received. But because the first one got the lukewarm reception a lot of people didn't listen to the second one, which is why I said it was underrated. I should have said it was under listened to.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 12:30 (six years ago) link
the second one was allegedly more off-the-cuff and improvised than the first. although it doesn't really sound that way to me.
― akm, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 12:45 (six years ago) link
anyway lately I've been getting into Roger Eno, who I dismissed for years. But Voices is a very lovely album, and I even like the new-agey boring Channel Light Vessel and the album with Kate St. John.
I wasn't aware that I'd missed an exclusive Eno/Hyde track. But it's "On A Grey Day" not "Cells and Bells", right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfgm-zrA3X8
Okay, that's tremendous and def worth the search. And since I picked up the CD of High Life, I don't have "Slow Down, Sit Down and Breathe" either. Disappointing although this one seems to have a lesser impact.
I've also been on a Roger Eno reevaluation. He's far deeper into the classical/romantic pool than his brother but Roger's albums are only a short distance from latter period Roedelius and all of the currently hip 80s instrumental artists from Japan, Spain and Italy. You might want to check the more rhythmic collaborations with Plumbline, which are livelier than the CLV albums.
― doug watson, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 14:45 (six years ago) link
(Roger) Eno's "Voices" is a beaut. It's produced by Lanois and features Brian, which makes it a close cousin to "Apollo," in some regards. This is my fave from it:

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 15:47 (six years ago) link
Mine is “Grey Promenade,” the last track. The warble on the piano reverb is exquisite. Tho I actually prefer Roger’s second album, Between Tides, which is less indebted to Eric Satie and produced by Michael Brook.
