The problem with 'Loose Rein' is that someone will have to buy the whole album in iTunes (shitty 256 kbps) because the track cannot be bought individually.

Adds insult to injury really.

Wow, that's low. This could have been the only time ever that I would have been ready to put a buck into that AIDS pile.

seriously? 256kbps is perfectly fine!

Anyone know if you order the deluxe edition of the album, do the Digital downloads have the bonus disc material too?

Don't know, but I've asked this myself, too.

Well I mailed Bleep so I'll know pretty soon.

I went for the Rough Trade bonus CD version. The vinyl just has to much stuff I don't need.

I want everything. A new Eno album doesn't come around very often.

Actually, you're right ;-)

So you've got the Rough Trade as well? Now you're just one click away from having the iTunes version, as well :-)

New Seven Session:

I'm not finding myself all that impressed by this and the box set is still a fucking joke. $100 for 4 songs a double vinyl and some scrap garbage i'll never need, right.

Never listened to Eno that much, and I wasn't even interested by this album but those Sessions (especially the last one) are slowly growing on me. Is the album any good ? Does it work as an introduction to Eno world ?

Got mail from Bleep. Extra tracks are not avaiable as downloads even when ordering the deluxe edition.

i think it's good, and some (not all) of it is 100% ENO. the only diffference really is that he's keeping the pieces much more brief. older eno is better for introduction though. i think Milk Sea would be a tad off-putting for some

that's the spirit.

i'd like it if he just released albums alternating between vocal and instrumental until the day he quits music

indeed.

i am loving small craft on a milk sea and the small sessions.

new eno

is not like old eno,

but it is definitely good eno.

I'd have to say Brian works better w/ other people than he does alone. His best stuff is collaborative from what i've heard.

My copy finally arrived.

How are the bonus tracks on the second CD?

They're good but not a necessity. Extra tracks are always a bit of a conundrum for me. Part of me always asks: If the artist really liked these pieces, wouldn't they have made it on to the main album? Still, they're good but 'Late Anthropocene' is the true album closer.

Are you currently hospitalized?

Sorry, that was rude. I can't edit my posts.

Thanks for this assessment
