Brian Eno - Before And After Science (1977)

I'd like to start by placing a bold statement: I like this album a lot more than practically everything by the Talking Heads. Brian Eno produced the best works of the Talking Heads, but in my opinion his studio techniques really come together on this album. (and off course on the even better Another Green World, posted last week.)

This album is funkier than Another Green World though. The choruses are real singalongs, and there are not too many ambient pieces around. Still this is a great Eno album: as experimental and inventing as he may be, he still is able to create the most pleasant popsongs. And that's an interesting feat, as there are not many artists who can create great popsongs and still be cool as f%$#.
