Album Notes
Includes a 32-page full color booklet with liner notes by Paul Morley.
Over three discs and 70 tracks, ENO BOX II: VOCALS compiles the artist's (and if there ever was an "artist" in rock, then Brian Eno is it) more poppier work, the songs driven mostly by vocal hooks. The emphasis--as it should be--is on Eno's first four pop oriented solo albums of the '70s, the era in which he fused lip-smacking melodies with wild experimentalism as deftly as anyone in the history of music. In shimmering remasters, HERE COME THE WARM JETS, TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN (BY STRATEGY), ANOTHER GREEN WORLD, and BEFORE AND AFTER SCIENCE stretch across the first two discs almost in their entirety (a few songs are excluded from each) with a handful of rarities thrown in (like the rare single "Seven Deadly Finns"). The last disc focuses on songs from the early '90s record MY SQUELCHY LIFE and many collaborations with usual Eno suspects like David Byrne, John Cale, and Cluster. As a primer to Eno's genius, II: VOCALS delivers all neophytes need and then some while it offers enough rarities and sonic upgrades for longtime devotees.
Editorial Reviews
...the high-resolution remastering is so great it's like hearing these songs for the first time....
Musician (06/01/1994)
4 Stars - Excellent - ...these are absorbing, haunting, occasionally ribald portfolios from one of the most remarkable figures in contemporary music...
Q (11/01/1993)
...his instrumental music flows from the restful, rural contemplation of nature....music for absence and music as absence...
Spin (07/01/1994)
4 Stars - Excellent - ...this set focuses on his vocal material....Despite his arty reputation, what comes through strongest here is his pop sensibility...
Rolling Stone (12/23/1993)
