Brian Eno's upcoming Warp Records debut, Small Craft On A Milk Sea, will be released 2 November (15 November in the UK), but you can check out one of the tracks, 2 Forms Of Anger, right now.
Ever the pioneer, and somewhat of a traditionalist, Eno is making Small Craft On A Milk Sea available as a CD and high-quality digital download, a Limited Edition Box Set (featuring the 180g heavyweight vinyl and double CD) for £60 and a signed Collectors' Edition Box Set for £250. You can pre-order the album in all formats now.
As for 2 Forms Of Anger, it's a thrill-ride of percussion and dark sonic layers (no surprise there). But what is a little jarring is when the song blasts off into big-time arena rock with some very Edge-like guitars providing the action. (Wonder if it was The Edge? We'll have to look into that.)
Give it a listen:
“I did a demo. I had Sheila E playing on it and Michael sang on it. I played it for Quincy and he said, ‘No.’”: Greg Phillinganes on the Michael Jackson song arrangement that Quincy Jones rejected because it wasn't "sexy" enough
“I was going to buy a Minimoog because Keith Emerson had one. I was in the store and I was trying it out and I hear a voice behind me say ‘you don’t want that’”: Why Foreigner’s Al Greenwood said no to the Minimoog and bought a little-known synth instead
