Brian Eno has just released his first new album of songs since 1974. In a short part of an interview with The Telegraph he even talked about songwriting with Paul Simon.
The other reason he focused on songs again was his appreciation of the art of songwriting, reawakened while he was producing Paul Simon´s ´fantastic´ next, as yet untitled, album. ´I came up with musical landscapes to support his songs and that give him a place to go, lyrically. I think I´m good at that.´ He then recounts the beginning of their relationship, a sublimely high-powered - though probably quite routine for him - conversation at a London dinner party that also included David Hockney and the producer Joe Boyd among the guests.
