| High Life, the
second collaboration between Brian Eno and Underworld's Karl Hyde, began
immediately after the completion of Someday World. Its release follows a
mere two months later. While some traits of the former are present here
-- a heavy reliance on African-sourced rhythms, and hypnotically
repetitive keyboard and bassline -- it is a very different companion.
While the pair relied on more formal "song forms" on Someday World, High
Life is looser. These six tracks place more value on jamming. The
centerpiece is Hyde's guitar. It's front and center throughout, with
myriad rhythm tracks close behind. A two-chord reinvention of Chuck
Berry's signature riff commences album-opener "Return" before becoming
subsumed in sonic treatments and Edge-like sounds. |
