surprise Well the words of the prophets are no longer written on the subway walls here and there and that is all Surprise, released in mid-2006, is a collaboration between him and Brian Eno and you can most definitely tell - no mellow African choir is to be heard (though he did manage to pull an energetic Southern Baptist Sunday morning choir out from under his hat.) Quiet introspection doesn't abound here either, nor does self-indulgent string plucking. It's not weepy or purely atmospheric or, well, somnolent - some of it admittedly comes close but there's nothing approaching the likes of, say, Capeman.
