"It takes less cognitive effort to make sense of the world using preconceived images updated with a small amount of new sensory information than to constantly form entirely new perceptions from scratch." Merlin Sheldrake, Entangled Life

| Coming up next, we’ll spend some time with Brian Eno . This September, Eno will be taking the stage at Wembley Arena for the Together for Palestine benefit concert " Choose Love" — a gathering of musicians and artists, including Palestinian artists, standing in solidarity, raising both funds and awareness. I wish I could be there — a cultural experience like no other! As you know Heavies, Eno’s work has always pushed boundaries, not just musically but also politically and socially. In this set, I’ve chosen three tracks that capture different sides of his works--from atmospheric soundscapes to reflective art-rock. |

| Laurie Anderson’s "O Superman" is a piece that seriously defies time — minimalist, hypnotic, and political. Released in 1981, it was a surprise chart success even though it’s essentially performance art set to a vocoder and a repeating loop. At its core, it’s about the tension between technology, authority, and intimacy. There’s this striking line-- I can't let go: ‘Cause when love is gone, there’s always justice. And when justice is gone, there’s always force.’ |
