Attention Brian Eno Fans

Aw, I thought this was going to be about new Brian Eno solo work -_-.

    Yeah, I really loved Another Day On Earth. I enjoyed Simon's Graceland, but hadn't picked up anything else he's done since. Some of the Simon and Garfunkel stuff fits into the prog folk category (I Am A Rock in particular). I picked this one up at the Atlanta Tower Records, which is going out of business. I'll miss that store. It was a great place to browse and run across stuff that I wasn't aware existed. It was the store where I first found out that PFM had made it to CD. When I looked at the back of Surprise and saw Eno, I said way cool, I gotta get this one. It is the next best thing to another Eno solo album. It might not be for you if you really dislike Simon and/or S & G.

I never listen to radio and am curious what's getting air play. I liked the whole thing, but if there are 2-3 you've heard and don't like, you might not care for the rest. I'm a "big tent" prog fan. Still, I stand by my opinion that if you're a big Eno fan, you'll like this one.
    

He also does a cover version of a song for Jools Holland's new country album. 

Don't forget his work with Robert Wyatt too, especially on Shleep.
