RE: “…peaked too soon? or maybe the peak was too short & pointy? who can say… Jon Hassel maybe?”

I think Hassell’s Maarifa Street is an excellent step forward — not nearly as ethereal as Fascionoma, but not as “urban” streetwise as Personals or City: Works of Fiction.

RE: Remain and My Life as peaks — don’t forget Byrne’s music for The Catherine Wheel. Awesome music that in my mind is kind of a trilogy.

I haven’t yet heard the new Eno/Byrne… trying to keep an open mind about it. I did enjoy the new Fripp/Eno, however.

Be quite interesting to see what Mr Byrne brings to the stage next Feb… how much his show has evolved to accomodate the Eno stuff etc.

“Shame the new Eno/Byrne thing is so lame.”

yeah… ahem… you would have thought some progress would have been made in the decades since, but sadly no… peaked too soon? or maybe the peak was too short & pointy? who can say… Jon Hassel maybe?
No doubt if they crowd sourced it as per 00s speak, it would be even worse… like most all of the Bush of Ghosts remixes i heard…. within half a bar of the beat starting it was obvious to me, why bother?

“Seek what they sought”… ah yes. Girls playing bass; it’s like girls on bicycles, it’s instantly art, at once erotic and yet sentimental.

Still, can’t argue with Bush of Ghosts. Fundamentally changed my musical thought as well.

Shame the new Eno/Byrne thing is so lame.
