For the record,
Nerve Net was not Brian Eno's first attempt at rock & roll. Not
counting his time with Roxy Music, he also made several solo albums in
the 1970s that were clearly intended as approaches to pop music -- they
were sideways approaches, of course, shaped by the intellectual distance
he has always kept between himself and the music that arises from the
forces that he puts into motion, and they were far from unqualified
successes. But this is his most rocking solo album in years, and also
his funkiest.
That's not say it's either funky or rock & roll, but it does manage
to be lots of fun in a slightly inhuman, claustrophobically funky sort
of way. The list of participants includes several of the usual suspects
(Robert Fripp, Robert Quine, Roger Eno), as well as a few surprises
(Benmont Tench, John Paul Jones) and a raft of unknowns. The sound,
which doesn't vary much from track to track, is compressed and dense,
with lots of heavily treated and synthesized percussion. On "What
Actually Happened," for example, drummer Richard Bailey plays a
distinctly organic funk part through what sounds like a battery of
effects, while a bassist and guitarist do indistinguishable things and
Eno messes around with everything and throws in samples. "Juju Space
Jazz" features both Quine and Fripp (the latter credited with "early
'50s club guitar") as well as Eno playing such instruments as "African
organ" and "tenor fax." Overall, this album is quite fun but nothing to
get too awfully excited about.
