DANIEL LANOIS: ACADIE

Perhaps the best lesson Lanois learned from Brian Eno was how to make technology sound human; listening to the sonic garden he's cultivated here, it's hard not to be impressed by how sheltering and warm Lanois' electronics seem. It's not all production smarts, either. Just as Lanois knows how to humanize technology, he also has a gift for modernizing tradition, leading him to such unlikely conclusions as the Cajun post-modernisms of O Marie or the otherworldly blues of his amazing Amazing Grace. An incredible album.
