Eno • Hyde - Someday World

Not everything Eno has done has been brilliant. A lot of it meanders into the realm of boring and middle-of-the-road. I listened to The Pearl the other day and it was mind-blowing tedium on a grand scale (IMO). A lot of what he doe's isn't that great, but he's still a brilliant individual/artist/etc/etc.

Sometimes I think people go into hyperbole when they see his name, and I think I'm guilty of that on occasions.

We'll see how this pans out lol

Yeah, the Budd collabs have their moments but I agree that they are a little bland overall: nowhere near the level of Ambient 1, 4 and 5.

Not to get too sidetracked, but i picked up Neroli and it is up there with the Ambients, Pearl, etc. Imo

Meditative bliss

Ah, some people refer to 'Apollo' as 'Ambient 5': myself included.

And I should note that I still haven't heard Ambient 3; it is extremely difficult to find!

Late October is my favorite thing from him...

(but it depends where you live too)

Not liking that track but maybe the rest will be better.

Can we also say that Karl Hyde has made a lot of middling-to-shit music too?

At least we can predict with certainty that Big Band Song will be shitty.

daddy's car _way_ better than satellites. optimism returning...

yeah much better.

Why the fuck didn't they introduce the album with this?! Enjoyable track, and very unique as well! Would've been so funny if had ended up being a cover of the Jamie Lidell track:

edit lol hooly shit wrong forum

keltoi come back

Streaming on NPR, bredren: http://www.npr.org/2014/04/27/306161810/first-listen-brian-eno-karl-hyde-someday-world

The opening of Daddy's Car, thought it was gonna be Eno/Hyde doing vaporwave.

Man, the MIDI trumpets were beautiful but Daddy's Car is like a so-so David Byrne reject. The production also has a loud, up-front sound and for some reason it's a bit unpleasant to listen to.

Well, it's still OK, I guess.

meh

HAHAHAHA! HOLY SHIT!

The album is streaming on NPR at the moment. I'm glad I didn't pre-order.

http://www.npr.org/2014/04/27/306161810/first-listen-brian-eno-karl-hyde-someday-world

Just wondering if this is and OPNs last album is so Eno can get them to re-release that Koan Pro thing:

Streaming with 2 tracks to go and already pretty sure I won't be forking for this one.
