From Robert Everett-Green's review in The Globe and Mail ...everything solid can be dissolved into ones and zeroes, figures on a screen, words and sounds. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/music/disc-of-the-week-brian-eno-put...
RH: The title of this blog entry is a useful analogy for an album that pours music and words into a cauldron until the two things become of the same basic building matter. It serves as a good starting point for our discussions in the context of this record and others 'like' it, in that the two codes of music and words play off each other throughout 'Drums Between The Bells' and throw up fascinating results as they combine at different intersections on the giant criss-crossings of words and music. The territory the record resides in is one of music and song, with an extra instrument in the words. The ones between the zeroes, or the drums between the bells.
