Music Quotes:
Avant-garde music is sort of research music. You're glad someone's done it but you don't necessarily want to listen to it. I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium. I'm struck by the insidious, computer-driven tendency to take things out of the domain of muscular activity and put them into the domain of mental activity. Submitted by: LucidLupin
| I want the music to be as much as possible a continuous condition of the environment…in the same way as a painting is. - Brian Eno - talking about his definition of ambient music. From a BBC interview broadcast in January 1986 Submitted by: LucidLupin

Story about this misheard lyric by: princejellyfish The fade-out on this song (the live version anyway) contains the line 'Shop Steward', referring to the manager of a store. My old roomie thought that 'Stewart' was the name of some unknown sound engineer, who wouldn't stop talking in someone's ear-piece when they recorded this (with Phil Manzanera). I have my doubts, but this line does not exist on any lyrics page that I could find. |

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Backwater"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Ooo, what to do?
Not a sausage to do. Why They're Nonsensical: Am I missing something, just exactly how do you 'do' a sausage? Perhaps Eno learned this interesting technique from one of the other 'Brian's' in his youth (maybe even Brian Ferry)?
