Paul Simon has moved on from culturally colonizing the third world to culturally colonizing the future - the new album, to be released on Tuesday, is produced by Eno. Samples on this really well-designed web site supporting the album.

People have been asking about 77 Million Paintings by Brian Eno. This will be available later in the year as a DVD-ROM (which will play on most modern computers) and a DVD featuring Brian talking about the project. It also includes an extensive booklet covering Brian's long and successful career as a visual artist.

The name 77 Million Paintings comes from the possible number of images that can be created from a huge number of combinations. Anyone familiar with Brian's audio-visual installations will instantly recognise the inspiration behind the project. The music is from Brian's installation collection.
