 Brian Eno invented ambient music, made a lot of good records, produced albums for David Bowie, Talking Heads, U2, James, and various other artists, did lots of film soundtracks including the toilet scene in Trainspotting, has done some cool ipad apps, and is the composer of the Windows 95 startup sound. If you aren't familiar with his work this is one of his ambient classics and this is one of his best rock songs Karl Hyde is the singer and one of the producers in Underworld who have been making really consistently good creative, energetic electronic dance music for the last 30 years. Underworld have also gotten into the more soundtrackish side of things seemingly mostly because Danny Boyle likes them a lot which has resulted in some really interesting work like their music for Boyle's theatrical production of Frankenstein. This is one of their biggest and best songs.Earlier this year Brian Eno and Karl Hyde released an album together called Someday World. It's ok. I found it maybe a bit underwhelming, but not bad. It's very mellow and even and reflective and very well produced but maybe a bit too smooth and polished. It's a bit reminiscent of David Byrne's solo stuff from the 90's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDAuBFLkqpQ However, Eno and Hyde decided to make another album pretty much immediately after they were done with the first one. It came out a few days ago, and it's really good. Speaking of David Byrne.. if you are an Eno fan or a Talking Heads fan you are probably familiar with My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. If you liked that album, you will probably like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwnxypgED6s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGUEVXqvCwM
