Brian Eno - Ambient 4 On Land (1982)




This one caught my attention the last couple of days: the 4th volume from the Brian Eno's "Ambient" works. The presence of more drone-like, dynamic songs; instead of the tranquil & repetitive melodies of previous works, such as "Discreet Music" and "Ambient 1: Music for Airports", makes this in my opinion the most outstanding work from the series.

Even though the overall sound of the album changes (from previous ones), there's still a lot of elements and characteristics of his early work. Most tracks might be more drone-ish,  but at the same time they preserve the mellow soundscape and the relaxed atmospheres that made some of his older albums classics of the genre.

1. Lizard Point – 4:34
2. The Lost Day – 9:13
3. Tal Coat – 5:30
