Brian Eno
How Many Worlds
Label: Hannibal Records Release Date: 31/10/2005
Ah, Brian Eno. It's been a while, but he's finally stopped experimenting with ambience and started writing songs again. Of course the lessons of the last thirty years haven't gone unlearned, and there's a strong ambient sense to the backing, but it never dominates. 'How Many Worlds' is about as conventional as pop songs can get - a child-like, Beatles-esque melody with a structure so basic it almost isn't there and a gorgeous instrumental mid-section. As immaculate as you'd expect.
