BRIAN ENO: NERVE NET

Eno's aural arsenal may have broadened to include industrial synths, funk beats and eves a stab at rap, but his compositional approach is the same as it ever was. That's the problem. When Eno relied on art rock and fusion noodling for his source material, that music's coolness suited the chilly detachment of his musical manipulations. Here it simply seems lifeless, with each hot lick laid out likesome museum specimen, sterilized,stuffed and ready for display.
