Eno`s last glam-pop album before devoting himself entirely to ambient experimentation, BEFORE AND AFTER SCIENCE showcases two sides of Eno`s musical personality. The first half of the disc is characterized by floppy, pop-tinged romps reminiscent of his earlier albums (and heralding later Eno-piloted projects such as the Talking Heads` SPEAKING IN TONGUES). Tunes like "Backwater" and "King`s Lead Hat" (a song whose lyrics are reputedly about the Talking Heads, the title an anagram of the band`s name) feature bouncy beats and keyboards, silly, riddle-like lyrics and Eno`s Muppet-ish vocals. The second half is considerably more subdued: the tender, airy feeling of tracks like "Julie With" and "Spider and I" indicate Eno`s softer, abstract, synthesizer-dominated direction. Taken together, the fine tracks of this disc frame two sides of Eno: the pop songster and the ambient composer.
