Two weeks have gone by and it’s time once more for me to request your favourite contributions to the Afterword cultural encyclopaedia – anything, be it music, dance, art, sculpture as long as it begins with an ‘E’ – because everything starts with an ‘E’
Consecutive Compendium of Culture – Excavating excellent electro, Europop, easy listening, even etchings

Epsilon Phase by Global Communication
Thanks for the post, @ahh_bisto (good to see your moniker again). I really like 76:14, but haven’t heard much more from them.

Epsilon Phase is from the album Pentamerous Metamorphosis which was their “retranslated” version of the Chapterhouse album Blood Music. It was originally available when you bought the album but became available as a separate purchase some time later. I’ve not listened to Blood Music for donkey’s years but I think Epsilon Phase is based on the last track on the album, Love Forever
If I recall back in the day Chapterhouse seemed to bear the brunt of the backlash against Shoegaze as a middle-class “it says nothing to me about my life” music scene.
Electric Miles.
Some love it, some hate it. Mostly I love it.
This Laswell-edited/remixed version of “He Loved Him Madly”, Miles Davis’ heartfelt tribute to Duke Ellington, is a thing of great beauty, I think.
More new ideas than a whole box of records by a whole buch of other people.
Easy Rider.

How to embarrass your kids Part 312 – walk round Asda on a Saturday morning singing this every couple of minutes.
Is it any wonder theygenerally refuse to be seen in public with me, and they have all left home?
Edison Lighthouse
Saw them about 5 years ago at a Caravan Park in Cornwall.
I think they opened AND closed with that song

I’m not a great horror movie fan, but this is essential E
From Ena to Eno!
El Guincho – Bombay
One of a couple of tracks from the old Word weekly email, which never fails to cheer me up. Bonkers video. Doesn’t stint on the sampled steel drums. Which is nice.
Slightly NSFW.
One of Spidey’s arch enemies: Electro.

Sorted for Es and Whizz Pulp. Couldn’t post it unfortunately
Estrella by the wonderful Lycia
I like that, @kid-dynamite new on me and (sotto voce) not prog.
Rodney has recorded many songs down the years, but in my humble opinion none surpass this:
Every Picture Tells A Story
Just one thing though – in tese enlightened PC times, would he still get away with the description of the peson he met on the Peking Ferry as a “slant-eyed lady”?
ELO Do Ya live at Wembley 1978
Marvellous!
