What a freakin' train wreck this is. The interviewer's mumbles are nearly unintelligible, and he seems to be some sort of narcissist ego-maniac who thinks he's being funny/clever.

This is so awesome!! Brian Eno can't be broken in any way. He is a step ahead of all of us. Brilliant...

PAUL MORLEY YOU ARE A CUNT

This interviewer is a crappy excuse for a human being and I would be pleased to never hear or see him again in any shape or form.

OMG this is too painful to watch. Was this even good back in the day? Irritating as hell.

Great great interview !

Sucks an intelligent interviewer was taken up by the whole "postmodern" 90's fashion of non-linearity for its own sake.

I do think seeing Eno through anecdotes as much as interview is revealing, but even as an 80's MTV kid, I really find this way of organizing information abrasive.

When people want to watch an interview, it's because they want to learn about an individual, not to tacitly be lectured about the the nature of media via object lessons. Don't miss that fad.

paul morley is such a gimp. I hate his voice, what he says, the articles he writes, his slimey sluggy smugness, his clothes, but most of all I hate his big fat stupid face. what a twat. he doesn't deserve to in the same room as eno.

Intresting how you can make an interview of one of the greatest composers of all time and make it inte this pile of rubbish..

[geinikan1kan]

don't know the interviewer. Don't want to know him. Barely present the interviewed person. Not funny. Dumb. Not funny. Poor use of technology.

Right on, Brian, my man! Morley appears to be (by my interpretation) looking for anything he can find to make some kind of mockery of Eno...trying to be, I guess, a clever entertainer. And Eno just tops him everytime by staying honest, calm and confident - while Morley continues attempting to be something he's not. It really seems like the funniest moment Morley has is when he appears pretty "horned-up"-signified by the hand-stroking-chin gestures he's making when asking the sexual inquiries!
