Brian Eno - Healthy Colours (1994) / The Long Now (2002)

The four pieces that make up 'Healthy Colours' were recorded in New York in 1979, and fall somewhere between Fripp's 'God Save The King' and 'My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts'. Over a kind of automated funk backing (similar in some ways to 'Kurt's Rejoinder' from 'Before And After Science') Fripp plays some cross picking and adds a few squalls of his unique guitar noise, while Eno throws in fragments of radio and TV dialogue as the piece unfolds. It's a far reach from their previous collaborations on 'No Pussyfooting' and 'Evening Star', but I love the new direction, and just wish there was more of it.

The Clock Of The Long Now, also called the 10,000-year clock, is a mechanical clock under construction that is designed to keep time for 10,000 years. It's being built by the Long Now Foundation, and a two-meter prototype is on display at the Science Museum in London. As of June 2018, two more prototypes are on display at The Long Now Museum & Store at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. The project was conceived by Danny Hillis in 1986, and the first prototype of the clock began working on December 31, 1999, just in time to display the transition to the year 2000. Eno gave the Clock Of The Long Now its name (and coined the term "Long Now") in an essay, and has collaborated with Hillis on the writing of music for the chimes for a future prototype.
