Curiosities Volume I is the first in a series of CDs compiling the previously unreleased recordings of Brian Eno.
From the liner notes:
I have worked with Brian as his technical assistant for nearly six years now and have watched him work with passion, commitment and complete perfectionism. He has a work rate that an ant would be proud of. A perfectionist ant ends up with a lot of unreleased music as well as storage problems within the colony.
Curiosities is going to be a series of CDs that consist of all the unreleased, unrealistic and unfinished music that I find in every nook and cranny of the studio. I am very proud to have had the chance to listen and compile this first CD. One of the reasons for my enthusiasm for these pieces is that some of them would otherwise have been lost in the DAT black hole that exists in most studios. I think you will agree that this is a wrong that had to be fixed. I can honestly say that the pieces on this CD are some of my favourites to have come out of the Eno lab.
I hope you enjoy this CD as much as I enjoyed compiling it. I will be working on the next one as soon as I get a chance, probably after helping Brian with his new electronic album.
Lastly I would like to say a big thank you to the queen ant of the studio Catherine Dempsey, the petty cash enforcer Grazyna Goworek, Angel and Kofi the Mafia Cats, my wife Zara for loving me and Brian for giving me a job!!
