Kyle's Cassettes: Brian Eno - Before and After Science

Brian Eno
Before and After Science
1977 EG

I found this tape in a thrift store behind a Chinese restaurant while on a road trip through New Mexico with my girlfriend. The word is that Eno wrote over 100 songs for this album and these ten jams are the ones that made the cut. Eno called this collection of songs ‘Ocean’ music and that I found the tape at the bottom of an ancient dried up ocean is suggestive at the very least. There is a saying that I heard once, “When you get to be where you are supposed to be it will be pretty obvious.” Trust that.

Proxy Music - Yes!

Thanks to my pal, Gary W, for turning me on to this...the best cover version I've heard since Tropic of Cancer did "Upside Down." It's new UK band Proxy Music. I'm guessing they're mostly a Roxy tribute band, or maybe thats how they started? Anyway, on June 4 they have an excellent single coming out which is a reworking of "Lucky Number" by Lene Lovich. And yes, it sounds like Roxy Music playing it. The b-side is a more faithful version of Eno's "Baby's On Fire."
