Before And After Science

Before and after Science is a 1977 album by Brian Eno. It is less experimental than its predecessor Another Green World. The songs in the first half (side 1 of the original album) are energetic, while those in the second half (side 2) are languid and pastoral.

Miscellaneous

  • The song "Kurt's Rejoinder" features a sample of Dada artist Kurt Schwitters.
  • "Kings Lead Hat" is an anagram of Talking Heads, and the song is indeed a Talking Heads pastiche.
  • "Through Hollow Lands" is dedicated to Harold Budd.
  • In the booklet included with the CD are four pictures of lithographs made by Peter Schmidt. Early vinyl copies of the album included copies of the lithographs themselves. The titles of these prints are The Other House, Look at September, Look at October, Four Years and The Road to the Crater.
