Drop, The＜限定盤＞

On THE DROP, Brian Eno's first non-collaborative full-length work in four years, one of the master sculptors of late Twentieth Century sonic landscapes is once again off on an expedition to discover new moods and textures. Comparatively speaking, each of these seventeen instrumental pieces contains more physical motion than some of Eno's older ambient albums.
Some vignettes are drenched with a computerised soul that is nearly impossible to pin down -- particularly the Eastern-tinged, sorta funky, quasi-hip-hop of "M.C. Organ", and the syncopated rhythms and synth of the indescribably catchy "Swanky". But the THE DROP's standout is unquestionably the closing, half-hour-long "Iced World". With a mid-tempo backdrop of light, bell-like percussion and muted bass drum, Eno plays minimalist piano notes and synth figures. Throughout, a mid-to-high frequency drone whisks the listener off to an ambient netherworld. It's magical, if you're in a magic-receiving mood.|
