HOLY SHIT TELEVISION AND ENO TOGETHER! marquee moon is a classic LP, but i often feel the production is thin. i think the album really would've been even better had eno produced it
a much better version than the 10 minute, 12" I have been used to for the past 35 years. This version seems more upbeat and optimistic, with less of those rambling prog breaks of the 12". Was this an Eno production?
@worldcommunity Um, Marquee Moon with "less of those rambling prog breaks" is like James Brown with less rhythmic, dance-inspiring minimalism.
That 12" version may be 10+ minutes long, but the vinyl album version is definitive because it's infinite. When the volume fades at the end, you could keep listening to it forever if you could infinitely crank your volume knob.
If Marquee Moon ever stops, the universe will end in a giant Mixolydian crescendo and you'll be like, OMGWTF?
Fortunately, this recording's taken from a different source than the vinyl LP bootleg whose cover's shown.I bought the LP late in '79 I think, & it was unlistenable 'cause the recording was drastically slowed,making everything both slow flat.It wasn't a little bit off, it was way off! Whoever put out the LP was Television-ignorant&guessed at the song titles.A few mos. later, I was pleased to acquire a bootleg cassette that was on key & sounded great, much like like this YT version.

This is a great find, but the bass is flat as hell and nearly ruins it...

they sound like the poor man's velvets here, really cool to hear how they broke away from this.
until a little after 5 minutes, when the solo is even better than the one that ended up on the album
