High Life, the second collaboration between Brian Eno and Underworld's Karl Hyde, began immediately after the completion of Someday World. Its release follows a mere two months later. While some traits of the former are present here -- a heavy reliance on African-sourced rhythms, and hypnotically repetitive keyboard and bassline -- it is a very different companion. While the pair relied on more formal "song forms" on Someday World, High Life is looser. These six tracks place more value on jamming. The centerpiece is Hyde's guitar. It's front and center throughout, with myriad rhythm tracks close behind. A two-chord reinvention of Chuck Berry's signature riff commences album-opener "Return" before becoming subsumed in sonic treatments and Edge-like sounds. Nonetheless, that vamp worms its way into the brain and feet. Hyde's drifting vocal is mixed far underneath his six-string; it's negligible. Skittering percussion loops and a droning keyboard eventually come

Last FM Information on Eno

'Eno' is a name used by at least four musical performers: 1. "Eno was the original stage-name of experimental musician Brian Eno prior to the release of the Discreet Music album. Eno studied at art school, taking inspiration from minimalist painting, but he had little musical education or playing experience when he joined the band Roxy Music as their keyboards and synthesisers player in the early 1970s. Roxy Music's success in the glam rock scene came quickly, but Eno soon tired of touring, and he left the group after the release of For Your Pleasure (1973), beginning his solo career with Here Come the Warm Jets (1973) and Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) (1974). Eno extended his reach into more experimental musical styles with (No Pussyfooting) (1973), a collaboration with Robert Fripp, Another Green World (1975) and Before and after Science (1977). 2. Eno (18. Juni 1998 in Kovancılar, Turkey; bürgerlich Ensar Albayrak) is a german Rapper from Wiesbaden. Deutschrap ist fresher denn je!!!! 3. Eno is a duo from Switzerland] consisting of drummer Ivo Münger and guitarist Christian Mikolasek, and for just a duo they make a whole lot of music at the same point of time! Inspired by bands like MONO, Gregor Samsa and Mogwai, these two Swiss guys decided to start a journey into wider soundscapes. As the duo uses loopstations and samples and guitars, the emotional and cleverly structured songs, all of them instrumental, sound like a whole orchestra. 4. "Eno is an artist and musician operating out of New York City. Somehow, he has managed to blend alternative, electronica, new-age, and indie in to a single, poingantly-direct package. Nature Vs Industry (remastered by Endless Field Studios’ own Arthur Zdrinc) is nothing short of magic. Full of guest musicians, artists, and songwriters it’s the perfect companion on a rainy day in the park or wandering the lighted streets of our innumerable cities." Read more on Last.fm.

1) HYDE (ハイド) is the solo project of hyde, the singer and main lyricist for the Japanese rock band L'Arc~en~Ciel and Vamps. Since HYDE keeps his personal information scarce, much about him is either unknown or unofficial, including his real name, purported to be Hideto Takarai. He confirmed his birthdate (January 29, 1969) in an interview for the 2002 March issue of Rockin On Japan. HYDE's debut as a solo artist was in October 2001, when he released his first solo single, Evergreen. After two more singles, Angel's Tale and Shallow Sleep, HYDE released his first solo album, ballad-filled ROENTGEN, in March 2002. An overseas edition featuring English lyrics was released in July. His next two singles, HELLO and HORIZON, both including a b-side track not found on any album, were released prior to his second album, rockish 666, all in late 2003. While reuniting with L'Arc~en~Ciel after a 3 year hiatus, HYDE continued his solo career. He composed the music for the song Glamorous Sky, sung by 中島美嘉 (Mika Nakashima) and to be used in the movie NANA. HYDE's next single Countdown was released in October 2005, it included Japanese & English versions of the title song. Another single, Season's Call, was used as the second opening theme to the anime show Blood+, starting in January 2006. The single was released in February. Third album FAITH was released in April, and it can be describes as hard rock with religious touch. The album was accompanied by a five-month tour with many locations in Japan, and four concerts in California, USA. Following the completion of the tour, a DVD of the concerts was released in November. In addition to his musical career, HYDE has also starred in movies Moon Child and 下弦の月 (Kagen no Tsuki, also known as Last Quarter).
