CLUSTER & ENO

Well the tile of this album is a bit misleading I think, as it might want to read as Eno & Cluster, as clearly Brian gets the upper hand. Between the pair of German minimalists playing their usual Krautrock close to Kraftwerk and the single English ambient star, the balance clearly tips in favour of the ambient record.

Never really a fan of these types of record, I must say I was always feeling that this particular album could be cited as a good example of such music. And clearly, if the album avoids boredom (as is often the case in the genre), it does not bear repeated spins in your deck.

Ideally, this record would get a play every third year, but then again with this sort of spinning average, is this album worth your acquisition? To ask the question is already answering it. Hardly essential (but in the ambient genre, which one is?), but certainly good enough to get that third star.
