Rated 5/5
Review by srcosmo Jan 31, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
I've heard that Eno's original pieces had their timing partially determined by the whims of tape loops, but hearing them fleshed out with more instruments really makes you appreciate the strength of the compositions.
"2/1" and "2/2" are the most successful tracks: the live instrumentation really sparkles here. The cello and guitar are great additions.
