Review:
Brian Eno offers up another ambitious and roaming long player for Warp, this time in conjunction with poet Rick Holland. The initial impact is something akin to hearing Sabres of Paradise for the first time, as a live band dynamic gets contorted to an electronic sensibility. The exploratory nature of the album certainly harks back to the imperfect adventures that Warp was celebrated for in the mid-nineties. The vocals will undoubtedly divide people, offering a kind of spiritual guidance in their lyrics and celebrating a very English intonation in their delivery, but there's no denying the skill and vision behind this release.
