British electronic music pioneer Brian Eno is set to reissue four rare solo albums via the All Saints label, the sister imprint to Eno’s own Opal imprint. The reissue series will cover four Eno albums from the 1990s: Nerve Net (1992), The Shutov Assembly (1992), Neroli (1993) and The Drop (1997). Of the four records to be reissued, Nerve Net has remained completely unreleased until now, while each of the other records will include additional unreleased material along with the original recordings—The Shutov Assembly will include seven unreleased recordings taken from the same period; Neroli (said to be considered Eno’s ultimate realization of “mood music”) will include New Space Music, an “hour-long piece of ambient, long-form drone music”; and The Drop will incorporate nine rare Eno tracks from 1997, previously only available through a limited-edition release which was tied into the artist’s 2006 77 Million Paintings exhibit in Japan.
Furthermore, the CD versions of each reissue will include a second disc of new material recorded by Eno “in the spirit of the original release,” as well as a 16-page booklet including photographs, images, and writings by Eno on each of the albums. Ahead of their December 1 release date, we have included the cover artwork and tracklist for all four albums below.
