No, there wasn't - but there are in fact 3 albums in the Music for Films series. I remember about 3 years ago someone did an lp called "Music for Toilets" whose title I assumed to be a spoof reference to Eno. > But what also struck me was the similarity in the sleeve art between > the new BD album and Eno's "Ambient 4 - On Land".

I sort of assumed this was a deliberate overt reference to Eno, but maybe there is actually some cabbalistic significance.... adam
