C'mon now, Rob.  This is ubsurd!  Eno's work consistently more crafted
than Kate's???  NO ONE's work is more crafted than Kate's (except
maybe Boston's, which shows that some being crafted doesn't
necessarily result in something worthwhile, but in Kate's case it
certainly does).  Some of Eno's work is almost completely UNCRAFTED,
he sets up a system and then lets it run with the tape recorder going.

Now back to opinion, personally, I think that Eno is a brilliant
producer and that some of his own work is brilliant, but much of it is
boring muzak.  His best album is "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts",
which owes just as much credit to David Byrne.
