4.0 excellentErwann S. EMERITUS | April 29th 20

One year after Remain in Light, Eno and Byrns further push the envelope of their rock, electronic and world music blend. It's sometimes tribal (Mea Culpa), sometimes funky (Regiment) but always weird, the record ending with two tribal ambient tracks. Using destructured riffs, religious chants and postmodern messing, this is almost plunderphonics. These two dudes anticipated sampling (although they were not the godfathers eh). Almost 40 years later, this sounds fresh and weird as hell.

4.5 superbEnotron | December 12th 09

This album pioneered the production style of hip-hop and I have the Bomb Squad pruduction team to back me up. The wacked out loops and rhythms made out of whatever they could find (synths, guitars, basses, metals, kitchen appliances, religious ceremony recitings), had a prominent impact on the production of It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back. It and Remain In Light completely revolutionized the way recording and sounds were treated.
