Eno reviews singles for 1975 NME. Severely dated insights, attempts at humor and general approach, to be honest.

Raoul Vaneigem est mort aujourd'hui, 29 juillet 2026. Vers 19 ans, la lecture de son «Traité de savoir vivre à l'usage des jeunes générations» m'avait été un souffle de vie complice. une raison de bouger et de penser. Merci pour ça, ça ne s'efface pas. Tout reste possible.
Raoul Vaneigem has died. He leaves us no instruction manual, thankfully – only an insistence that everyday life can still be stolen back from work, boredom and obedience: in argument, song, drink, dance, love, revolt and the invention of new poetry.
Happy 101st birthday to Alexander Trocchi. Project Sigma still feels unfinished rather than historical: publishing as self-organised networks, shared infrastructure, direct circulation and social space – not more content for platforms, but autonomous media for another life.
Hearing from good sources that the great Raoul Vaneigem has died. Rest in joy!
