Brian Eno’s Another Green World is een verzameling briljante, catchy popsongs die tegelijk een soort deconstructie zijn van de klassieke popsong. Of, zoals Chris Ott schreef: “Eno ripped rock and roll apart, never losing sight of its precepts. No one could mistake Another Green World for anything other than a pop album, but at the same time, it is unrecognizable as such”. Progrock die je mee kunt neuriën: waar vind je dat verder?
Brown Eyes and I were tired
We had walked and we had scrambled
Through the moors and through the briars
Through the endless blue meanders
In the blue August moon
In the cool August moon
Over the nights and through the fires
We went surging down the wires
Through the towns and on the highways
Through the storms in all their thundering
In the blue August moon
In the cool August moon
Then we rested in a desert
Where the bones were white as teeth, sir
And we saw St. Elmo’s Fire
Splitting ions in the ether
In the blue August moon
In the cool August moon
