On Land
represented a significant move away from the strategies Brian Eno had
employed in earlier ambient releases such as Discreet Music and Music
for Airports. Instead of using a specific process to generate music with
minimal interference from the composer, he here opts for a more
gestural and intuitive approach, creating dreamy pictures of some
specific geographical points or evocative memories of them. It's quite
easy to imagine these works as soundtracks to mysterious footage of
imprecisely glimpsed landscapes.
On Land is an album that would become highly influential with the
rising tide of new age composers, though few if any would capture the
chilly beauty or latent romanticism that is part and parcel of Eno. The
first piece, "Lizard Point," includes an early recorded performance of
Bill Laswell on bass, and one imagines that his association with Eno was
a crucial factor in the ambient directions his later work would
sometimes take. On Land remains a landmark event in the genre, as well
as one of its high-water marks, and sounds entirely up to date 20 years
after its initial release. A superb effort.
