You could probably find that at your local public library.I like the card set in 'Signal', but purists should note: the WholeEarth folks edited it somewhat for their purposes. As I recall it wassmaller than the original Eno set and somewhat less specificallyoriented toward music.

I know it included some strategies which Eno'sdidn't (I think one of them was 'Call your mother and ask heradvice.' ).Personally I like the idea of the cards mutating into other forms.

Each line was printed on a playing card sized card, blackon one side, white on the printed side. They come in a small black box thatsays 'Oblique Strategies' on one side in gold lettering, and the artistsnames are on the other side.

They were developed by Brian Eno and PeterSchmidt, who was a painter friend of Eno's (he did the cover for TakingTiger Mountain (by Strategy)). The first little bit there descibes the basicideas behind the cards and their recommended use.

I bought my set in 1980for $11.00. It was a second, unsigned edition. A friend of mine has offeredto sell me his first edition, signed by both artists, for $100.00 Those arethe only two copies I've ever seen.

Sometimes they were recognized in retro-spect (intellect catching up with intuition), sometimes they were formulated.They can be used as a pack (a set of possibilities being continuouslyreviewed in the mind) or by drawing a single card from the shuffled packwhen a dilemma occurs in a working situation. In this case the card istrusted even if its appropriateness is quite unclear.

This was before OPAL was folded by Warner Brotherslast November, so all bets are off.The set being offered for sale was the third printing of the deck. Therewere no plans for another set.

At one point, a group of us were huntingabout trying to compile a correct and annotated listing of all threeeditions what was added, what was dropped of the sets. We had realtrouble finding a second printing. I'll have to go rooting around in myold computer tapes and see if I can recover the dump of my stuff fromlong ago to see if it might be archived. Don't hold out much hope.I'll see if I can manage to type them in when I have some time whenever.that'll.

be.On another note, I spent a pleasant Friday chatting with one of thoserecord company folks who keeps an eye on Eno now that Opal's dead. Forthose of you who've followed this, the chronology goes something likethis:Initially, there was an Eno album called 'The Shutov Assembly' ofnewer instrumental work, and a 'Song' album to follow later.Next, the decision was made to fold the two together after the relativesuccess of the Eno/Cale album. The title was to have been 'My SquelchyLife.' This project was close enough to being finished that review copieswere produced, and several reviews of the album appeared in the Britishpress Q, Wire.Then 'MSL' started to slip and slip and slip. Then OPAL records had itstent folded.So, here's the story NOW:In the interim, Eno decide to ah.'

Rework' stuff. He and Fripp havejust crawled out of the studio, having redone all Fripp's guitar partsfor the upcoming project. Rumour has the guitar playing being 'asrevolutionary as it was hearing the leads for 'Baby's on Fire' thefirst time'.There should be a CD5 out in July.

No title given.August is the release date for the new rechristened album, to be called'Nerve Net'.An additional instrument/ambient album is scheduled for an October/Nov.release. No title given as yet.Additionally, Eno has some material produced which should appear onthe soundtrack to the upcoming Ralph Bahkshi film 'Cool World.' I hope this is of some use to you.-Nothing but an assemblage of cylinders, it rests on the sidewalk at dawn.

The album is on Real World. Gabriel makes a brief,non-producerial appearance. Eno did the production. David Rhodes is alsoon it a bit. And the singer's.Ugandan., not Kenyan.

It's very lovely - Eno really doesn'tget in the way of the basic performance at all. It reminds me a bit ofthe feel and the acoustic space of Danny Lanois' 'Acadie.' Very quietand introspective.
