Product Description
Description
Eno's last glam-pop album before devoting himself entirely to ambient experimentation, BEFORE AND AFTER SCIENCE showcases two sides of Eno's musical personality. The first half ofthe disc is characterised by floppy, pop-tinged romps reminiscent of his earlier albums (and heralding later Eno-piloted projects such as the Talking Heads' SPEAKING IN TONGUES). Tunes like "Backwater" and "King's Lead Hat" (a song whose lyrics are reputedly about the Talking Heads, the title an anagram of the band's name) feature bouncy beats and keyboards, silly, riddle-like lyrics and Eno's Muppet-ish vocals. Thesecond half is considerably more subdued: the tender, airy feeling of tracks like "Julie With" and "Spider and I" indicate Eno's softer, abstract, synthesizer-dominated direction.Taken together, the fine tracks of this disc frame two sides of Eno: the pop songster and the ambient composer.

5.0 out of 5 stars This album was made by a wizard and left in the sun to ripen, 26 Jul 2000
By A Customer
When it was ripe he wrapped it up nice and fine and slipped it unnoticed into the record shops. Sinewy basslines throb. Keyboards cut and thrust. Lyrics bounce around delightfully. When you find yourself singing "Oh, the King's lead hat is a martyr to desire, it will come, it will come, it will surely come!" just for the pure fun of it, then you'll know a new freedom! Believe me! Superlative weird pop and atmospheric seas wash over you. Roxy Music are just weaklings on a distant beach. This is Eno's kingdom and you don't have to do anything here, just listen, smile, drift... This is not ambient minimalism, its pop music at its very finest.
