Roger Eno, Between Tides 35 years after

Kings of Maybe is copied to António Sérgio homage page on Facebook and the last post about Roger Eno had very nice feedback. And that's why I'm writing a little more about Roger Eno. Right after the first years of his career he had a great push from his brother Brian Eno who created the Opal Records and the Opal Evenings. In the words of Brian Eno, Opal represented the kind of artists producing "a string of eclectic, interesting, often lovely and nearly always not-very-profitable records". Opal Evenings were concerts performed by those artists including Brian Eno, Roger Eno, Harold Budd and Michael Brook. One of the records released by Opal, was "Between Tides", on 1st of January 1988, 35 years ago.
António Sérgio loved it and he often played the track "Field Of Gold". And sometimes "While The City Sleeps" followed by "Sunburst", the tracks 10 and 11.



Anyway, I love the whole album and "One Gull" is especially beautiful.


Back to this blog's last post and Roger Eno's last works, the new trio of EP's "Rarities" and his last album "The Turning Year", here's this precious "Clearly". Again his daughter Cecily Eno, this time dancing beautifully instead of singing.

Have a great Friday and have a beautiful weekend :)
