YO ho ho

ah.. it's a bit late for that. Sorry this WAS supposed to be a Christmas pod. The so called "escape pod" but I got struck with a brutal illness that is only just waning. I shan't linger on it as it's dull but I was down. Down, down, down like the pointer sisters are clearly singing about in "automatic".

This pod is brought to you remotely from Sedona Arizona. It might sound a bit less polished as a result but it's the content that matters :)

Welcome to this humble whee ramble with Roger Eno, who's had a long and successful career in the olde music game. He's left behind some mellow corkers.

If you've never heard “An Ending (Ascent)”  from the album "Apollo: Atmospheres and soundtracks" for example... you simply must.

It's a true timeless beauty. The kind of track that if you were to have made it, you'd be chilling for the rest of your days. Quite literally. There's something utterly magical about that one and it really feels like a unique sound only possible thanks to Roger's sensibility. Of course it was a collaboration with Daniel Lanois and his rather famous sibling.

It must be strange to have a brother like Brian. As Roger mentions in this pod, if he's ever getting full of himself he reflects on Brian being Bowie's producer and it's all put into stark perspective. A silly thing to linger on of course and we dont get too into that for long but it's there.

This pod chat is mostly about him waking up and getting into music and literally how to get out ones way to let that inner music rush forth. Damn good advice nestled in this one I reckon.

Happy listening and see you in 2025!
