I just received this email from EnoShop a few minutes ago.

Hello!

We are proud to announce the completion of the new album from BRIAN ENO, titled Another Day On Earth.

Scheduled for a June 13th 2005 release, Another Day On Earth is a collection new Eno songs, "the first one I've done like that for a very long time...twenty five years or so". Eno's song-writing, his typically concise analysis of the problems that most song-writers face, and the methods he employs to solve these problems reveal the unique nature of his approach to this particular art: "Song-writing is now actually the most difficult challenge in music. It's very easy to make music now but lyrics are really the last very hard problem in music. What I think lyrics have to do is engage a certain part of your brain in a sort of search activity so your brain wants to say 'here are some provocative clues as to what this song might be about'. They don't have to be explicit... in fact for me they certainly shouldn't be explicit".

This item will be released on June 13, 2005. You may order it now and we will ship it to you when it arrives. To pre-order a copy please visit our new web site www.enoshop.co.uk

Everyone who pre-orders the new album at Enoshop will be entered into the prize draw to win a box of Oblique Strategies signed by Brian Eno.

Best wishes.

Cool. Yeah we received a play copy at work. I've listened to it twice so far and quite enjoyed it.

I actually woke up today with one of the songs stuck in my head "Under".

Trivia: Does anyone here remember that movie "Cool World" from about 1994? The song "Under" was on the soundtrack.

Another of the songs has an almost Mum-like vocoder part in it. I think the album is a grower.

The contest is kind of cool: Oblique Strategies is nearly $100 to buy at cost.

ahhh the Cool World soundtrack. Almost makes me miss high school

That does not bode well--"Under" was also on "Eno Box II - Songs" back in 1993. Are we getting retreads?

Not that I won't buy it the second it's released even if it is retreads.

So...25 years ago was Nerve Net/My Squelchy Life, neh? I'm there...

"Under" was past of My Squelchy Life until he, um, squelched it.

count me in on this. i'm ready for some new eno. been listening to warm jets and taking tiger mtn a ton lately
