enon


one of my big regrets in life is never to have seen brainiac live. sigh. it was a brilliant band and if you haven't checked them out you should. john schmersal formed enon after brainiac disappear from our sight after releasing an album under the name john stuart mill in between. jsm was in some ways a big departure from brainiac being almost acoustic but enon at first represented a return to a territority not dissimilar from brainiac. then enon took a different turn. and then several more. anyhow, lost marbles and exploded evidence is a collection of b-sides and other stuff that enon has released over the years. some of it is brilliant some of it not so much so. but then it is fun and inventive. the sample sort of represents pieces of both with the schmersal "part" of the song sounding very much like the direction brainiac was heading in towards the end.
