    Yet another brilliant ambient album by Eno. Perhaps the 'darkest' of the 4 Ambient Eno works.

    The ultimate Ambient album. I'd never heard anything like this before. He captures such vivid imagery - I've done two abstract paintings portraying what I see when I listen to this. I agree that it's the culmination of the series. I found it very interesting that this work actually 'digests' other ambient works of Eno's. I heard this before some of those others, and because of that, the others were somewhat less compelling. I credit that to his growth as an artist, though, and the nature of my exploration of him. "Unfamiliar Wind" is my all-time favorite ambient piece - it's very romantic for me, high on a plateau, in daylight. "The Clearing" is another that I want to paint sometime.

Description

Limited Edition Japanese "Mini Vinyl" CD, faithfully reproduced using original LP artwork including the inner sleeve. Features most recently mastered audio including bonus tracks where applicable.Released in 1982, On Land is Eno's most mature, perfect ambient work. Combining low, rumbling synths with eerie banging and clanking and the occasional wild-animal chirp or grumble, this recording places the listener alone, in the midst of a massive piece of sonic landscaping. And Eno has left no detail to chance. In fact, the work is so complete that when Eno suggests a windswept plain, the listener gets a chill. When trumpeter Jon Hassell bays with a softly disturbing imitation of a wounded beast, the first instinct is to scan the horizon for its glinting eyes. So subtle, intuitive, and well paced is this recording that as it slips quietly from the speakers and into every corner of the listening room, it transforms the space into a gently pulsing sound environment that seems strangely out of time and away from everything. It's a place you'll be drawn to time and time again. An ageless masterwork. --S. Duda
