New lamps for old! New lamps for old! It may not be panto season just yet, but here come Brian and All Saints Records dressed as your Fairy Godmother(s). Four of Brian's albums from the 1990s will be re-released by All Saints Records on 1st December – and this time they've got company.

Expanded editions of Nerve Net, The Shutov Assembly, Neroli and The Drop will each include a second disc of previously unreleased or rare music:

CD1: Nerve Net – CD2: the first official release of My Squelchy Life
CD1: The Shutov Assembly – CD2: six unreleased pieces plus a variation
CD1: Neroli – CD2: a long unreleased piece
CD1: The Drop – CD2: 77 Million, the limited edition CD originally compiled for the 2006 installation at Laforet in Japan

All the albums will be available on CD in "deluxe casebound packaging" – presumably standard casebound packaging just wasn't considered suitable for music of this magnitude. Or you can have downloads or double vinyl gatefold (main album only), apart from Neroli because it appears Brian doesn’t want to split it up to fit on a Long Player. That short version of Neroli on Textures (Constant Dreams) was just a one-time thing, apparently. And so was the Neroli edit on Disc 3 of the Instrumental Box Set. Okay, it was a two-time thing. But he's totally over that now.

Each CD includes a 16 page booklet with associated photos, images and writing by Eno. Purchasers of the LPs will see this material on the printed inner sleeve, and will get a download code for the relevant bonus tracks so they don't miss out.

CD and digital orders of all the albums (again, apart from Neroli) from Enoshop and Bleep will immediately include a download track from the original album. Then one week before the release date, you'll get a download track from the bonus material.

Here are the tracklists for the rare and unfamiliar material...

My Squelchy Life (with Nerve Net)
01. I Fall Up
02. The Harness
03. My Squelchy Life
04. Tutti Forgetti
05. Stiff

There's just time for Mustard The Tortoise to take a look through the mailbox. He's still rather frisky as the temperature is a bit mild for October.

Eloy Dawson writes: Yo! I'm sorry for the noise you've heard from upstairs.
Mustard: About time somebody gave me a bit of consideration.
Eloy Dawson: Well, OK! I'm not sorry about it at all.
Mustard: Make up your mind.
Eloy Dawson: It was the hottest night of my life.
Mustard: I'm not surprised. All there is upstairs is a stuffy loft with some insulation and lots of dust. There isn't even a proper loft ladder.
Eloy Dawson: The pills I bought online so cheaply turned me into a tireless insatiable beast.
Mustard: I had no idea that Dr Jekyll was selling online these days!
Eloy Dawson: Do you want to know my secret?
Mustard: No. I think I can guess.

Mr. Kellee Kam: I am contacting for a good proposal that will benefit both of us if you are interested and trustworthy.
Mustard: That counts me out then.
Mr. Kellee Kam: My banks do not even know that i am contacting you. I will explain better the process as a banker when I see your response, I shall wait for days
Mustard: You've got that right.

Bart Floyd: Hello, Our company is offering to you a sensational breakthrough in weight loss sphere!
Mustard: Is that like a medicine ball? Do they even have medicine balls these days?
Bart Floyd: If you are tired of feeling embarrassing on the beach, wear L, XL, and larger size clothes.
Mustard: And that will stop you feeling embarrassing, will it?
Bart Floyd: The sensational discovery of the American scientists!!!
Mustard: That's all right then. If you can't trust them, who can you trust?

Robin Buck: hi there, my name is Robin Buck, i'm 17 y.o. I'm available now and looking for a cool guy. maybe it is you?
Mustard: I'm pretty cold-blooded, yeah. Got any dandelions?

Bean Caleb: This night was THE NIGHT!
Mustard: Does that actually mean anything?
Bean Caleb: I didn’t sleep at all
Mustard: Most beings experience insomnia from time to time and it's nothing to worry about. Not me though.
Bean Caleb: I couldn’t have enough of my hot April!
Mustard: 30 days. That's your lot. Don't blame me, I don't make the rules. I remember this planet when there weren't any months, just one long circle of time.

Irma Mccarty: I got your voicemail yesterday about the stock tip you want, sorry I couldnt pick up the phone I was on with the wife you know how she is but please next time don't call the house line, I would prefer if you come in to my office instead. In person is always better.
Mustard: Is that a frustrated screenwriter temping? "Will write spam for food".
Irma Mccarty: Your timing is impeccable you are very lucky.
Mustard: How so?
Irma Mccarty: There's this insane little company (confederation minerals) that was exchanging hands for like a dollar and a half last year and now you can grab it for around 10 cents.
Mustard: I'm not surprised their shares have dropped like a stone if the people running the business are insane. That kind of thing can seriously impact perception of a company's brand image in the marketplace. That's why I always recommend a good business consultant.
Irma Mccarty: You better bet the stokc is gonna go nuts in the coming weeks when they make the drilling announcement.
Mustard: It's beginninng to sound as if that insanity is catching.

Sasha Frere-Jones wrote about Brian. (Thanks to Radiocitizen.)

Rory Walsh writes: Sinead O'Connor's Faith and Courage album includes the curious credit "Thanks to Brian Eno for being such a weirdo. Ah no, thanks Brian, you’re an angel." Sinead is interviewed in this month's Uncut and in discussing Faith and Courage she says, "Brian Eno is on that album as well. At the time, we absolutely hated each other, which is kind of hilarious. We had a dreadful row one day in France at Dave Stewart's house. I threw Eno's keyboard in the pool and stole his diary. I'd read it and he'd written something really shitty about me. There was all this mayhem. I flew back to England with it. Dave and Brian were chasing me, trying to find the diary which I dumped in the bin at the airport. Now we get on great. He's brilliant, Brian."

PEN Music Group, Inc. has signed a synch licensing deal with Upala Music, Inc. Wonder what that means?

Our previous update was on 7th July when we wrote:

With High Life now released, Brian and Karl will be talking to Mark and Stuart on Radcliffe and Maconie, BBC 6 Music, on Tuesday 8th July at 13:00 BST. The programme will then be streamable worldwide for a week afterwards; those who experience problems using portable devices may have more success using a PC or Mac. (Thanks to Radiocitizen.)

The track "Lilac" from the album is available to stream, accompanied by visuals from the Eno • Hyde app (which has been updated to include "Lilac".

There have been some reviews, as you can readily imagine.

Literary news. Leonardo Vittorio Arena writes: I'd like to let you know that a book of mine on Eno's philosophy of music has been published: Brian Eno, Filosofia per non musicisti, Milan, Mimesis editions, 2014, 66 pp. I teach History of modern and contemporay philosophy at the University of Urbino, Italy. And Rupert Loydell writes about himself in the third person: Rupert Loydell & Kingsley Marshall of Falmouth University recently presented a new paper on Eno at the Music and the Moving Image conference in New York. 'THINKING INSIDE THE BOX: Brian Eno, music, movement and light' (which will be published in an academic journal) is the follow up to their 'CONTROL & SURRENDER. Eno Remixed: Collaboration and Oblique Strategies' chapter, which is forthcoming in the Brian Eno - Oblique Music book later this year.

Dylan Howe has released some new arrangements of Berlin-era Bowie-Visconti-Eno music.

Our previous update was on 20th June when we wrote:

In the very early hours of 21st June German time, Michael Engelbrecht's Klanghorizonte radio programme will premiere two tracks from the forthcoming Eno • Hyde album High Life: "Moulded Life" and "Cells & Bells". The show runs from 1am to 4am and is streamed but not archived, although it looks as though the site has some kind of online recorder.

Brian Eno may have something at The Barbican's Digital Revolution event (July-September). If it's Digital it might be 77 Million Paintings, who knows?

The Interval at Long Now in San Francisco definitely has a 77 Million Paintings light painting behind the bar.

Brian recently spoke at an event celebrating the life of Tony Benn. Richard Mills writes: "Brian Eno once invited Tony Benn to join his acapella choir and was told, 'But the only songs I know are about either work or love'. To which Brian replied, 'That about sums up our repertoire'. On another shared taxi journey, as they were nearing their destination in slow London traffic, Tony Benn asked Brian Eno, 'Have you ever noticed that as you approach your destination, you need to go to the toilet?' Brian says he replied: 'At our time of life, enlarged prostate, I know the feeling'. Tony then said, 'The nearer you get, the greater the need becomes'. Brian was also interviewed at the venue for Going Underground about British interventions and other political issues (thanks to Radiocitizen).

Our previous update was on 28th May when we wrote:

There's another Eno • Hyde album on its way. High Life consists of 6 tracks, unless you get the download version (in which case it consists of 7 tracks), or you get the double vinyl version (in which case it consists of 8 tracks). Apparently it returns to the original plan for the album that became Someday World before the musicians went off at a tangent (longer polyrhythmic funk) -- and this time Rick Holland is along for the ride! Is EnoWeb making it sound like a sequel to a buddy film? Anyway, the track "DBF" is available to whet appetites until the release date of 30th June/1st July (Vinyl is in August).

The publicity for Someday World is of course continuing. Warp released a new tie-in app for Apple iPhones, iPod Touches and iPads. The free Eno • Hyde app "takes the classic medium of vinyl and fuses it with image recognition and AR (augmented reality) technology in a melding of analogue and digital worlds ... fans can use their iOS device to watch and explore as new 'outsider architecture' metropolises spring into life around their vinyl copy of the album (or if you have a different format of the album, at www.enohyde.com/app).  The experience is soundtracked by the Someday World song 'Strip It Down'." (Thanks to Steven Hill.)

People on Facebook asked what tha meant, so here's the text EnoWeb wrote:

The app is for iOS devices only, not Android, Windows or Symbian.

Having installed the app, you point the iPod/iPhone/iPad camera at the record label, or the picture on the web page -- and after a bit of experimentation, I see it also works with the 2-CD version with the circular hole in the cover. It has to be a circular image to get recognised.

A "play" triangle appears on the screen. After that is touched, the built-in song "Strip It Down" plays and geometric building-y shapes appear and rotate. Touching or tapping the screen apparently affects them. If you move the device too far away from the source picture then the music will fade and the animation disappears.

Warp's video shows that the app gives you the power to walk into a record store and then monopolise their record deck as you point your phone at it for five minutes -- without the owner shouting "Oi! Clear off if you aren't going to buy anything!" at you. This is clearly a vital super-power to have, and could be useful in all manner of record-store scenarios.

There was a performance, and some interviews and reviews.

A museum official writes: Your intrepid reporter was present at the Barbican Centre on 17th May for Session Two of the Explorations Weekend, marking the 50th anniversary of Nonesuch Records. In the midst of pieces by Terry Riley, a premiere Steve Reich piece and a performance by Brad Mehldau, came a short piece by Timo Andres, Paraphrases on Themes of Brian Eno. The current writer thought he heard quotations from "Becalmed", "Julie With...", "Sparrowfall" and "By this River". The whole piece can be heard online here.

Patriot Survival Plan writes: Obama has just signed Executive Order 16303, which gives him the right to institute Martial Law whenever he wants to.
Mustard: Why should that bother me? I don't live in the USA. Or the delusional world you inhabit.
Patriot Survival Plan: This is the beginning of the end.
Mustard: No, it looks as though your e-mail goes on for a while yet.
Patriot Survival Plan: But YOU can make your own happy ending...and laugh in Obama's sorry face.
Mustard: Oh good, that's cheered me up. How, exactly?
Patriot Survival Plan: It's easier than you think. American Patriots are already doing this...and Obama's got NOTHING on them. On our first visit, we opted for the 10-course tasting menu, and every course was outstanding. It's not often that I taste something I've not had before, but here it happened many times. From the tea service (tea and pork broth with smoked lemon!) to snacks of trout beignets and gin/celery popsicles, to an incredible parsnip soup with ice cream... everything was perfect. Our server was attentive, friendly and informed. Cocktails were creative and delicious.
Mustard: It all seems to have gone very well. Perhaps you were just in a bad mood because you were hungry?

Mustard: Literally, you say? Are you sure? Literally? Not metaphorically? Not figuratively? Literally? Litter, more like.
Patriot Survival Plan: Almost all the steps leading to martial law are now completed...
Mustard: But you just said it was "literally one step" away. Now it's "almost all the steps" that have been taken. Are you backtracking? Or is your home on wheels?
Patriot Survival Plan: all it takes is one more spark to ignite the disaster.
Mustard: How scary.
Patriot Survival Plan: And the match has just been lit.
Mustard: I think you'll find that a lit match is rather greater than a spark. Yet nothing has ignited. The situation has all turned out to be a bit of a damp squib, hasn't it?

"Daddy's Car", a new track from the forthcoming Eno • Hyde album Someday World, has been played on the wireless. Mustard The Tortoise felt that the introduction reminded him of the theme from OutRun for some reason (he likes OutRun). We couldn't hear it ourselves. Marc Riley says he believes that the pair will play a session for a future edition of Lauren Laverne's programme.

Michael Engelbrecht -- music journalist and longtime friend of Brian Eno (EnoWeb visitors may recall his knack for getting highly detailed responses from Brian 24 years ago and Rick Holland just 3 years past, but we digress) -- was in London recently and more by accident than design ended up interviewing Brian and Karl Hyde... and listening to them performing in the studio. The resulting interview will appear on 1st May on Manafonistas.de, the eclectic music blog for which Michael writes, and on 26th April he will also include some tracks from the album on his Deutschlandfunk show Klanghorizonte which runs from 4:05 to 5:00 (German time) on Saturday mornings. This is not part of Warp's promotional activities, so it's an extra treat for us.
