Best of 2014 #7: Brian Eno and Karl Hyde - Someday World (Warp)

Like Bob Mould, I've been a fan of Brian Eno for a long time. In his long, innovative career, he's released many great solo albums. But, when he teams up with another talented musician, either as a collaborator or as a producer, he seems to make magic. Eno released two albums with Karl Hyde this year, Hyde being the frontman for the pioneering electronic band Underworld. Someday World was a step ahead of High Life, in my opinion, and it's reminiscent of Eno's work with John Cale: lush, melodic, spacy electro-pop. Hyde's contributions bring a harder, dancier edge to the music.
