Recorded between 1985 and 1990 and mastered at the renowned Townhouse in London, "The Shutov Assembly" is the twelfth solo studio album by the legendary Brian Eno. Released on November 10, 1992, via Opal and Warner Bros. Records, this album is a tribute to the Russian-based craftsman Sergei Shutov, a longtime admirer of Eno's work. The ten atmospheric tracks, each named after various locations and figures, span a diverse range of genres, including ambient, art rock, krautrock, minimalism, drone, glam rock, and space music. With a total duration of 57 minutes, "The Shutov Assembly" is a testament to Eno's innovative approach to music, delving into atonality and eschewing traditional scales and pitch. The album's peculiar liminal quality makes it a unique addition to any music collection, offering a rich and immersive experience for both long-time fans and newcomers to Eno's extensive discography.
