BRIAN ENO & BEATIE WOLFE
Luminal/Lateral VERVE RECORDS
Stunning collaboration yields two albums that are different but the same.
As a producer, electronics pioneer, multimedia artist and self-confessed non-musician – and that’s just touching the tip of a colossal iceberg that could sink a fleet of Titanics – Brian Eno has a reputation as a singular figure in the cultural firmament that was cemented a long time ago, but his ongoing commitment to the creation of new works is also deserving of applause. And so it proves once again with the simultaneous release of these two albums made in collaboration with Anglo-American conceptual artist and composer Beatie Wolfe, whom he met through their shared environmental work at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.
