I've been meaning to listen to more. Will do. Before and After Science is fantastic, love the many moods on this album.

It is an expertly constructed album.

Got the "why the f have I not listened to this/obsessed over this before" feeling almost immediately when first listening to HCTWJ. "Baby's on Fire" and "Some of Them are Old" are my favorites for now. Surprised by how accessible the album is. I was pulled right in.

So I've pretty much been listening to Eno my entire life - since 4th grade.

But I'm curious about those of you who just discovered him this past week. Spinal and C-Op, you both seem to like his stuff quite a bit. Was it a lot different than you imagined?

The ambient stuff was pretty much how I imagined. However, I was not aware about the glam rock stuff that he did. I'll definitely listen to more. I just ran out of time this week.

I'm with Spinal in that I was not aware of the glam rock stuff (I've been a fan of Before and After Science for a while now; that album seems a lot more subdued than HCTWJ). Also, for some reason, I though Eno would be putting out ambient music from the very start, so listening to HCTWJ was quite a surprising experience. Love the melodies, the vocals, the ENERGY and the experimentation. Will listen to more definitely, although I have a feeling I'll be more taken with albums in the HCTWJ glam/art rock camp.

Winston, the numbers, when you get a moment.

Thanks!
