Steve Hillage - For to Next (1982)


Previously on OPIUM HUM:

Guitarist/psychedelic lifer Steve Hillage's skewed, hypnotic take on synth-y 80s pop rock, colored by his reliably sublime guitar work and spectral, Eno-esque vocals. I've always loved Hillage's first few records, but for some reason, I never really delved further into his discography until last week, when a friend kinda randomly sent this my way, and I immediately fell in love with it. Destined to be one my most listened-to records of the summer.

Track listing:
1. These Uncharted Lands
2. Kamikaze Eyes
3. Alone
4. Anthems for the Blind
5. Bright Future
6. Frame by Frame
7. Waiting
8. Glory

  2. Your description makes this sound compelling and I'm not even an Eno fan. Thanks!

  3. I'm reminded of Bill Nelson's avant pop era in the early 80s, which was more stylaised but in the same area.

  5. Hillage's output can be uneven. For me his best efforts are Rainbow Dome Music and Fish Rising.
