Lost Marbles and Exploded Evidence (CD/DVD)
Lost Marbles and Exploded Evidence might look like a duck, walk like a duck, and sound like a duck, but that doesn't mean it won't goose you. Sure, this is a limited-edition collection of songs from Enon, past and present, but it's not a simple compilation per se. These songs span the history of Enon, from a humble beginning as John Schmersal's musical musings in 1998, through the mid-period four with Rick Lee, up to the trio (with Schmersal, Toko Yasuda and Matt Schulz) we know and love today.
These songs range from limited-edition singles to web-only downloads, and from semi-attainable to gimme-a-break-how-was-I-supposed-to-find-that? Lost Marbles and Exploded Evidence shows a band ebbing and flowing with styles and sounds, assembling one solid piece over a six-year period.
Enon felt compelled to share this audio documentation with you, and if that wasn't enough, please direct your attention to the DVD portion of today's presentation. On it you'll find tour footage, live performances, and a collection of videos, including the ye-popping clips for "In This City" and "Daughter in the House of Fools."![]()

| There's no way an ordinary band/artist could round up the "one-offs" and deliver four-star magnificance...could they? As it turns out, even the sometimes throwaway musings of super-genius ENON are grade-A quality beef in this world of big-macs. Often overlooked due to their unyiedling defiance of music-industry convention, preferring instead to make music that challenges and jars the senses, ENON are one of the few indie bands to outshine their mainstream peers in nearly every major category (production, chops, creativity, composition, fan loyalty, and live performance). World, take note- ENON is the future, today. | |
