Brian Eno - Before and After Science

Brian Eno, compositor, intérprete y productor experto e innovador; demuestra inspiración y sensibilidad en su singular álbum Before and After Science (1977).

El lado A del vinilo original incluye peculiares canciones movidas, animadas, de un pop avanzado; cuyos ritmos e instrumentos están asociados al rock experimental (bien distante del estilo ambient por el que es reconocido como un precursor).

El lado B, en contraste, calmo, reposado; construido de puras sensaciones; contiene paisajes sonoros de ensueño, pródigos en imágenes sugestivas de enorme poder evocativo, que invitan a trasladarse mentalmente lejos de lo cotidiano; consumando una de las virtudes superiores de la música: representar algo que no puede ser expresado elocuentemente con palabras o imágenes.*****
