Extremely innovative electronic music, with a touch of Beatles' influence circa "Paperback writer". And very melodic too, with Ryuchi Sakamoto on board.

The first mash-up, twenty years before anybody else. Following Talking Heads' "Remain in light", Eno and Byrne teamed up again for another groundbreaking album.

Trawling through their archives of the past decade, finishing some stuff, recording a couple of new tracks, the Stones come up with what may well be their last great album. In two halves: one up-tempo, one comprising ballads.

So good and funny (though a bit uneven) it makes me dizzy with delight at times.
