Brian Eno - Thursday Afternoon (1985) [2009]

Brian Eno's Thursday Afternoon is included in his Original Masters "Soundtracks Works" edition as it is, after all, a soundtrack to a video that Eno himself made in 1984. It consists of seven practically immobile shots of a nude or semi-nude model filtered through a variety of video effects, shown "vertically" with the TV set turned on its right side. Thursday Afternoon debuted at a high profile art gallery in New York, and at that time Eno's cadre of boosters proclaimed that he was going to do for visual art what he'd already done for music. Unfortunately, the video was long, static, and to most viewers rather boring; several New York's film and art critics advised Eno to stick to music, and so far, he has largely done so, despite a handful of low-key gallery installations held in Europe since that time. Recent years have witnessed Eno redirecting his visual work away from video into the field of computer animation.
