Brian Eno and Karl Hyde – Someday World: Album stream


Coldplay’s Will Champion and Roxy Music’s Andy Mackay are just two guests on the new collaboration between Brian Eno and Karl Hyde of Underworld. Listen to the playlist and let us know your thoughts Someday world is not the first time Brian Eno has collaborated with Underworld’s Karl Hyde, but it’s by some distance the biggest project they’ve worked on. Their first album together features nine songs, composed and sung by the two musicians, although it’s fair to say they’ve had a little of help from their friends. Indeed, the list of guest musicians is impressive: from Coldplay’s Will Champion and Roxy Music’s Andy Mackay to newer names such as 22 year old Fred Gibson, who helped produce the record with Eno.

The result is a collection of beguiling tracks seemingly influenced by everything from afrobeat to ambient jazz. Hyde himself acknowledges the project’s playful feel, describing the experience of making it as “a bit like being nine years old again. You have no idea what you’ve just been given, the record button has been pressed and you’re on.”
