"Does anyone have the final word on the degree to which Astralwerks (sic) have screwed up these Eno 'remasters'?



'Another Green World' has the first bars of 'Everything merges with the night' missing, 'Climate Study' is missing from 'More Music For Films, and someone below states that the intro to

'Quartz' on this album is also truncated. Are Astralwerks just a bunch of amateurs or something? Eno must be well pleased with this mess..

"Haikus for Eno



1. Aragon



Climbing the far hill

Away from the city's noise

Faithful Orion



2. From the Same Hill



I am a friend who

Never calls who just stays home

Dreaming of mountains



3. Inland Sea



My soul follows the

Current of the river north

North that has no end



4. Two Rapid Formations



Day in and day out

The colors of the day smile

At me and I frown



5. Slow Water



Someone takes my hand

The edge of happiness feels

Just like tomorrow



6. Sparrowfall (1)



The night is warm while

My neighbor builds his house of

Moonlight spider silk



7. Sparrowfall (2)



The neighborhood wakes

And the colors of the day

Knock on every door



8. Sparrowfall (3)



The couple upstairs

Passionate and untiring

The windows open



9. Alternative 3



The desert sky is

Icy and clear demanding

A response from me



10. Quartz



Fog moves in offshore

And enters my mind as sound

There's no place to hide



11. Events in Dense Fog



Morning is here as

Sadness comes to the city

And dreamers still sleep



12. 'There Is Nobody'



Astronomers peer

Nomads smile and beauty

Waits for all of us



13. Patrolling Wire Borders



I consider those

Whose only blanket is a

Sidewalk in winter



14. Measured Room



Love is all around

It's just across that street where

Everybody lives



15. Task Force



My only window

Faces west and needs washing

This explains a lot



16. M386



The Pleiades hang

And sparkle, memories fall

Bright and hard and cold



17. Strange Light



My heart has put up

A sign - "For Sale by Owner"

It's move-in ready!



18. Final Sunset



Where the light is warm

And soft, where the freezing nights

Never end-but where?

Okay but not great

"I am a big fan of Brian Eno's early abstract work. I like the way he took simple ideas and explored them until they became transformed into something completely different. For example, on "Music for Airports" he recorded women singing single notes, made tape loops of varying lengths from those recordings and let them circulate until many different combinations of notes and silences emerged. The result was beautiful and other-worldly. So, when Eno recorded an album of "soundtrack material" (for non-existant films) it seemed that he had stumbled onto a great outlet for his music. Instead, this is a collection of pieces that sound like floor sweepings from the "Another Green World" sessions. The pieces are short and often sound like passing thoughts that never developed into anything of substance. There are some nice moments on this recording, including some great bass parts and guest appearences by people like Robert Fripp but overall this is one of the weakest of Eno's early recordings."
