Brian Eno
Shutov Assembly (Expande Edition)
Reissue of Brian Eno’s 1992 album dedicated to Russian artist and friend Sergei Shutov, and a continuation of the atmospheric ambient work found on records such as On Land and Thursday Afternoon. Eno had discovered that Shutov often painted to his music but was unable to obtain many of his records in then-communist Russia. He resolved to collate a tape of previously unreleased material (recorded between 1985 and 1990) to give to Shutov and upon listening himself discovered a previously unnoticed thread that ran through the pieces, creating an unintentional full length work. Each piece is named after and derived from one of Eno’s audio-visual installations.
CD edition includes a second disc containing 7 completely unreleased recordings from Brian Eno archives, taken from the same period as The Shutov Assembly.
Vinyl edition re-cut as a double LP for improved sound quality, and includes a download card to access full audio content of the original album.
