Music reviews of Spinner
Music Review: An unusual, but not particularly powerful, collaboration.
Rating: 2 Stars
1995's "Spinner" is one of the more unusual collaborations in Brian Eno's catalog-- Eno had recorded this as a soundtrack piece and wanted to release it as an album but felt it wasn't quite a standalone piece, so he sent the recordings to Jah Wobble. Wobble left some songs alone, overdubbed some pieces, and remixed/overdubbed/edited some pieces.
The resulting album is decent enough-- the majority of the album is ambient hazes and sounds with funky beats supporting the pieces ("Steam", "Unusual Balance"). This is framed and punctuated by really quite minimalist-- even for Eno-- ambient pieces ("Where We Lived", "Space Diary I"), yielding a varied and overall fairly satisfying effort. The problem is that even with Wobble's contributions, not much on here really gets your attention-- it's a fine listen, but it doesn't make you really quite stand up and take notice, not the way so many of Eno's other works do.
This album was reissued-- I hesitate to say remastered-- with new cover art but I think that's just about it. It sounds fine, but quite frankly, I can't imagine this is a sonic upgrade. I don't have the original, so I can't do an actual comparison.
Regardless of sound quality, this one is probably best left for collectors-- newcomers to Eno's ambient/instrumental works would be better suited starting with "Discreet Music".

Description of Spinner
UK pressing features a total of 10 tracks including 'Steam', 'Where We Lived', 'Like Organza' and more. Saints. 2005.Composed as a soundtrack for a Derek Jarman film, this is in large part a return to the placid atmospheric style of Brian Eno's Another Green World period. Jah Wobble's role is limited to providing a bass rumble, though he cranks up the tempo deliciously on "Unusual Balance" and the tracks featuring ex-Can drummer Jaki Liebeziet. A gift from the ambient God for hard-core Enophiles. --Jeff Bateman
