"More Dark Than Shark" is the stylishly designed, much sought-after publication by noted composer/musician/artist Brian Eno, and his frequent collaborator, the late visual imagist Russell Mills. It is "a unique document of the intersection of rock music and the visual arts, and a fascinating insight into the creative processes of two important artists. Extracts from the notebooks of Eno and Mills combined with the supplementary notes by the artists, illuminate the thought processes and working methods behind the songs and images". Included are the lyrics and accompanying artwork for fifty-seven songs from "Here Come the Warm Jets", "Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)", "Another Green World" and "Before and After Science", as well as copious additional insights by the two authors.
