hello spiral Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I listened to the first one like 10 years ago. It sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 The price for the Deluxe CD Edition seems to have been plucked out of thin air. It costs over £300 for a 64 page plexiglass book and a cardboard box to put it in? Because that seems to be the only difference over the standard edition. Fuck off.

KovalainenFanBoy Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Eno is selflessly trying to relieve us off the pressures of money. Just give it all to the ambient cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purlieu Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 the price for the standard cd box is not high imo I dunno, in comparison the Schulze/Namlook Dark Side of the Moog sets were 5CD boxes that retail for about £25. I know there's a book with this too, but it's still a bit steep. I'm sure it'll come down over time, anyway, these things always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to Eno, my issue is that the deluxe box has a perspex 64 page book whereas the standard edition still has a book but not perspex. Other than that, there's no difference. It's not like the £365 edition has other discs or more goodies. How does that justify £300+ ? I just cannot fathom it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumi Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 This release is all well-timed to coincide with his talk this month at the British Museum. (Sold Out). These days, (last five years ) his ideas have been a lot more interesting than the music. I think I'd rather go to and hear him talk than listen to these CDs.

beerwolf Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 He did the John Peel lecture a few years ago, it wasn't really my cup of tea. But music for me is all about imaginative escapism not academia and he's the ultimate music professor!! A great man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purlieu Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 This seems ludicrously expensive now given that Ae are doing an 8CD/12LP set of previously unreleased music for cheaper than this smaller reissue box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 This seems ludicrously expensive now given that Ae are doing an 8CD/12LP set of previously unreleased music for cheaper than this smaller reissue box. It's obscene. You basically get charged £300 for a book with a perspex cover (versus the same book with a just a standard cover.) No extras. Nothing. Utter rip-off. Plus he's been saying that it's the first time the installation music has ever been released. It's not. I don't know if he's forgotten or just an out-right lie. 65% of the material had been on CD for more than a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
