Music reviews of Shutov Assembly
Music Review: Not particularly interesting.
Rating: 2 Stars
Revered by many (at least some of whom likely found this a good return to form after the techno/rock blast of "Nerve Net", released two months prior), "The Shutov Assembly" is sort of a business-as-usual ambient album in the Eno catalog. I've often found that Eno's ambient catalog is a bit mixed-- some of it is pioneering, exciting, and worth attention, and some of it is treading water. This is an album I largely put in the latter category.
Essentially ten pieces composed over a five year period that all have a unified approach, this sounds like a series of ambient experiments that never quite reached fruitition-- for each track, one could picture that an entire album could have been constructed in the same vein, and for some of the better ones ("Alhondiga", "Stedelijk"), this may have been a worthwhile endeavor. But for every interesting piece, there's a whatever pieces ("Markgraph", "Francisco", "Innocenti"). They're not bad, they're just rather hard to feel very excited about. Musically, most of the pieces include a brief loop (1-2 seconds in some cases) over which either longer loops or understated melodies are performed.
As one would suspect, this remaster is crisp and well balanced, although the artwork is not particularly exciting (it may be expanded, I don't have the original), no liner notes are included. Probably best left for fans and collectors, interested parties in learning more about Eno should start with "Discreet Music".
