Album Notes & Community Reviews

Concluding his pioneering ambient series, Brian Eno weaves an incredibly dense, almost foreboding tapestry of electronic drones and environmental field recordings. 'Ambient 4: On Land' abandons pure synthesizer tones for natural acoustics and heavily processed found sounds, constructing a profoundly mysterious, dark, and highly atmospheric instrumental journey.
