Eno apparently came up with this album (or the concept for it) while convalescing after a car accident. It seeks to delves deeper into the atmospheric properties of music.
What comes out of this experiment manages to sound like a mix of Eno's old band Roxy Music, Velvet Underground (John Cale is featured), spacey jazz fusion, and (with the track "the Big Ship") there are even hints of his work with U2.
As with his previous solo albums, it's an interesting mix between pop 'song' structures and ambient musical passages. The album would go on to get Bowie's juices running when it came to the making of his Berlin trilogy.
