Brian Eno is the Andy Warhol of the music world, with being weird and generally creepy his top priority, it spins off into some great music.
"Eno used unusual methods such as dancing for his band members and having them play accordingly, and singing nonsense words to himself that would form the basis of subsequent lyrics" is the quote which describes how the music in this Album was made.
Dancing and forcing your band to match the dancing, while blaring out drunken blabbering.
If you don't think that's the tightest shit ever, get out of my face.
The music is so catchy, and undoubtedly bizarre. It's new and experimental, but in a good way. I found the Album started to fall apart around "Baby's on Fire", but it still held itself together in its own independent way.
Truly a great, weird Album.
