BRIAN ENO CREDITS (besides Production):
Carved out and shaped the remaining mixes-often
focusing on various details of the original group 
recordings, eliminating others and creating a new 
feel which might inspire the overdub of a trumpet 
line or keyboard pattern in kind of 
deconstructing/recconstructing process similar 
to the shape giving power of a good film editor.
