White thing poking left eye on album cover

Mention what that white thing is poking his left eye on the album cover. Jidanni (talk) 01:55, 16 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think it's the other side of his cheek that just get's hit by the light but this is pretty trivial and I can't really find any other information about it. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:06, 2 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

1977 or 1978?

"Before and after Science is a 1977 album..."

"Brian Eno chronology... Before and after Science (1978)"

Discrepancy. Someone with definite knowledge please sort out. I suspect it's a difference between release of record and publication of music, but I don't know. 86.0.169.202 (talk) 17:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Somebody's typo I suspect - fixed. Thanks/cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 09:18, 7 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please do not mistakenly keep moving the article under a capitalized After

Brian Eno's express typography was to use lower case. This happens to be within his purview. It is also a matter of stylistic convention. Persons raised on Chicago Manual of Style will recognize it as such, because CMS downcases all prepositions. In any case, please read Capitalization and leave this album alone. Thanks. --Mareklug talk 20:42, 24 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Veracity of status as an anagram

there are two "f" 's in each phrase. You are really not a puzzle person, and neither is the person who acted on your suggestion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.88.229.196 (talk) 17:53, 5 March 2010 (UTC)Reply



Confirmation seems needed for the statement, "'Before and after Science' is in fact an anagram for 'Arcane Benefits of Creed.'" — I'm not a puzzle person, so I don't know the answer, but can it be a true anagram if the one "f" in "Benefits" is used twice? Reading "in fact" didn't convince me.24.18.229.217 (talk) 17:15, 18 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've removed this information in the article since I can't find any information about it. It's pretty trivial anyhow. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:07, 2 June 2009 (UTC)Reply


Source of the phrase in the album title

In a radio interview I heard when the album was released, Eno gave the quote from which the title came. I have long forgotten the origin and the quote was something like "Before and after science, all things are unchanged." I have had no luck at all in tracking it down, however. Robert G. Ingersoll, maybe it was.

Talk:Before and after Science/GA1

Julie With...

... Julie Christie ... the 36-year-old-actress has taken up with a 29-year-old rock musician named Brian Eno and they've been seen everywhere together. Script error: No such module "citation/CS1".

There's probably more support. I'll see about drilling for it later.
