White thing poking left eye on album cover[edit]

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?[edit]

"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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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.

Julie With...[edit]

... 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. Sloan, Robin Adams (1978-03-19). "The Gossip Column". The Citizen, Auburn N.Y. Auburn, NY. Retrieved 2015-10-27.

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

Article requirements:

Y Start: reasonably complete infobox; lead section with overview of album; track listing; reference to at least primary personnel by name; Categorization by at least artist and year.

C: all of start and (1) cover art in infobox; (2) at least one additional section of prose; (3) track lengths & song authors in tracklist; (4) a personnel section including all musicians.
B: all of C and (1) most technical details in infobox; (2) technical personnel in personnel section; (3) no obvious issues with sourcing; (4) no obvious issues with readability, though it may not conform completely to style guidelines; (5) no glaring omissions of information or extraneous information, like trivia.
Higher Classes are not assigned by WikiProject Album. Please review "the perfect article" and, if already B class, consider seeking additional feedback from Wikipedia:Good articles or Wikipedia:Featured articles.

This article contains all of the start class criteria, but lacks an additional section of prose. (Miscellanea sections are discouraged and do not count.) Please add additional information. There are suggestions at WP:ALBUM. Given this, the article would qualify for a "C" class, although it needs proper sourcing to meet the current "B" criteria.

Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums/Assessment for additional information on article class. To request a reassessment from the Album project, when concerns are addressed, please see "requesting an assessment". --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 17:17, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
