Can get the mp3 free on his website.  I like it.  I am very excited for this tour.   :thumb:

Nice to see these two working together again, but this sample isn't on par with their previous cutting edge work.

Agreed.  Decent MP3 (320k) and nice that they are again working together and touring (Cleveland Oct 23) but this song is rather ho-hum IMO.

I am very happy to see them collaborating again. However, my understanding is that Eno will not be touring.

So the new album Everything That Happens Will Happen Today is now available.  You can stream the entire album with the above link.  A few songs in and there's one that stands out titled... "I Feel My Stuff"

There are moments in the track titled "Poor Boy" that are somewhat reminiscent of their earlier work.  And good news for analogue fans... some tracks contain vinyl like pops and surface noise.  :P

Rumor has it that Brian Eno is producing the forthcoming U2 album.  He produced some of U2's best work including the Joshua Tree and Unforgettable Fire.

No doubt the rumor everyone would like to hear is a Talking Head reunion but it seems like the tensions between David Byrne and band members remain.
