A live recording from an experimental music collective featuring the brilliant Brian Eno and Underworld’s Karl Hyde!
While a live recording of Brian Eno’s *Apollo* was recently released on the same label, this offering is even more niche. It captures a live performance by an experimental collective that transcends the boundaries of genres like ambient and electronica. Moreover, it is a massive release, spanning four discs and four and a half hours to fully document the entirety of the shows performed across three separate sets on a single day. The lineup features the visionary Brian Eno alongside Karl Hyde, the driving force behind Underworld. The two would later go on to produce an album under the name "Eno/Hyde," demonstrating a remarkable chemistry and high level of quality. While this type of music may not appeal to the masses, it is guaranteed to strike a chord with a specific audience—making this a release aimed precisely at those dedicated fans. After all, there’s nothing wrong with the occasional release like this; it is, quite simply, a "collector's" item.
