Bleep

Reissue of Brian Eno’s critically acclaimed 1993 single-track album. Named after the precious sensual oil derived from the flowers of the Seville orange, Neroli is more than any other Eno work intrinsically linked with the idea of perfume and fragrance. Like its title suggests, Neroli (Thinking Music Part IV) is a perfect piece for pondering, whether at home or on the move. Originally just shy of one hour in length, one can get a whole lot of thinking done when assuaged by Eno’s calming synth tones. Neroli fits in very nicely in his canon of work, somewhere between the dark, atmospheric Ambient 4: On Land, algorithmic experiments like Discreet Music, and outright pretty works like Ambient 2 and The Pearl. New Space Music is a fine example of Eno’s inimitable long-form drone music and a satisfying companion piece to Neroli.
