Ancient language, lost to the modern day. Largely undecipherable.
I was working at a cafe in West London operating the tills when Brian Eno (a regular) came to pay for his lunch. He asked if I would help move his fish tank on the weekend. I handed him his change and said no.

A friend of a friend is an author. One of his famous friends is Brian Eno. Author was doing a reading in a book store somewhere awfully fashionable in London; one of the pieces he was reading was supposed to be read by a woman. Eno, for larks, turned up with a canister of helium for the author to huff from during the reading, for its vocal modification properties.
Another friend of my friend (full of wine) thought to themselves, “Wow, that’s Brian Eno’s helium - I know someone who’d like that!” That particular friend of my friend thought better of it when sober, and left it in my friend’s flat.
Two months later, I visited her and offered to take it back to a recycling centre. Brian Eno’s helium canister was recycled in a South Wales valleys council facility.

p4k is counting down the top tracks from the 90s this week, and ow! the memories.
…holy shit this track was produced by Brian Eno?
“A way to make new music is to imagine looking back at the past from a future and imagine music that could have existed but didn’t….My interest in making music has been to create something that does not exist that I would like to listen to, not because I wanted a job as a musician. I wanted to hear music that had not yet happened, by putting together things that suggested a new thing which did not yet exist. It’s like having a ready-made formula if you are able to read it. One of the innovations of ambient music was leaving out the idea that there should be melody or words or a beat… so in a way that was music designed by leaving things out – that can be a form of innovation, knowing what to leave out. All the signs were in the air all around with ambient music in the mid 1970s, and other people were doing a similar thing. I just gave it a name. Which is exactly what it needed. A name. A name. Giving something a name can be just the same as inventing it. By naming something you create a difference. You say that this is now real. Names are very important.”
