Topics discussed include: the influence of Erik Satie on Brian Eno, the role of humour on the album, the Talking Heads connection, the extent to which Eno can be considered a minimalist, the hauntological dimension of Eno’s music, and what Eno understands by science. Also, how can one sum up the Carry On films? Why is Eno obsessed with spiders? What constitutes a claim to fame story? Which famous hitchhiker did Tim’s dad pick up on the M1? And most importantly, who’s Kurt?
