I suppose I didn’t know what to expect when I listened to this. I like Eno’s work and his last few albums have been very good and well worth listening to. So when Someday World started to play I wondered why I was listening to what sounded like a load of 1980’s synth brass.

However, after the first few minutes it became obvious that this was going to be a very good album with some great tracks on it. I’ve only listened once, but that once through was very enjoyable indeed.

Definitely time for another listen, or two, or three …

Amended Metamatic pak

One of the things I picked up from Record Store Day last weekend was this special release of John Foxx’s first album Metamatic on white vinyl. I’ve had this album for ages but I couldn’t resist getting this version.

It was pretty amazing to be at Musikmesse this year. There was just so much to see, and there’s so many pictures to share too. This is just a little start really.
