In keeping with Holland\u2019s lyrics\u2014musings on deep-sea mollusks, the infinite cosmos and man\u2019s place in between\u2014Eno crafts ethereal, contemplative backings. He rocks out on \u201cSounds Alien\u201d and gets lightly funky on \u201cMultimedia,\u201d but his role is to accentuate, not overshadow. Hence the faint beats and gently buzzing, blipping synths heard throughout. Eno takes a similarly hands-off approach with the vocals. He talk-sings several tracks and leaves the rest to guests (most of them females who emulate computers, underscoring Holland\u2019s vague 21st-century angst). While the album gets conceptually heavy, Eno\u2019s light touch ensures this philosophical exercise never strains the brain. \u2014Kenneth Partridge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BRIAN ENO Drums Between the Bells [Warp] While he\u2019s never limited himself to a single, easily defined sound, Brian Eno is known for minimalism and electronic texture\u2014hallmarks of his work with such artists as U2, Coldplay and Talking Heads.
