Recorded in 1976 and unreleased for two decades, this
wonderful album of electronic noises was apparently a huge influence on
Berlin-era Bowie and Iggy. You can sort of hear that, but it is a lot more
“ambient” than I was expecting and more in line with some of Eno’s late 70’s
work. Ignoring the links for a moment and listening to it in isolation, literally,
on a train journey down the English East Coast line on an icy foggy morning,
this thing is capable of conjuring up some special moments. A soundtrack to
life as affecting as any you will hear, once you tune in to its very individual
sounds.
