Just how it should beOriginally Posted by Barry
We were going to do one today, but then decided we couldn't be bothered. So now it will be in two weeks' time.
Right now I've got this on for Anita, as she wanted a nap and the Paul Simon CD I was playing was keeping her awake.

I'll try to describe the Paul Simon CD I was playing before, but it won't be easy - I've never heard it before, never heard of it even.
The cover informs me "Soundscapes by Brian Eno", with contributions from Steve Gadd (drums) and Bill Frisell (guitar). Some highly-regarded names there, but I can't decide whether sticking them all together is a good thing or not. I like roast dinners and I like blackcurrant cheesecake, but not together on the same plate. And I suspect Eno is the cheesecake in this analogy. I dunno, maybe it'll grow on me.
Actually Paul may be the cheesecake - Years ago while we were watching Saturday night telly, a pissed-up bloke we'd never seen before stumbled into our living room, unlit fag in hand. I had to explain to him he'd got the wrong address while ushering him out of the house. Maybe Paul Simon similarly stumbled into the wrong recording studio, but decided to 'go for it' anyway
It may even be that buying too many CDs at once has left me jaded and over-critical, and really the album is excellent. I'll give it another go in a couple of weeks.

I always avoid anything that's had Eno within a hundred yards of it.

Yes it is, and virtually identical to another Vangelis CD I bought last year, though I didn't know this when I got it. It's not an unpleasant listen, and I do like the songs he did with yes's Jon Anderson. And "State of Independence" is pretty good too, though I prefer the version with the Donna Summer vocals.
