Best of 2011 #6: Brian Eno - Drums Between the Bells

Those of you that know me know I'm a frothing Brian Eno fan. The man practically invented whole genres of electronic music, and continues to reinvent himself every time he puts his musical knowledge to work, whether as a musician himself or as a producer. Since jumping to Warp Records a few years, Eno's output has increased and his experimentation has also expanded. Drums Between the Bells is a collaboration with poet Rick Holland, who's words are sung by Eno and a number of guest vocalists. The result is an album full of glitchy ambient music the way only Eno could produce. Whereas lesser artists embrace a droning tone as a simple background, Eno uses the drone to construct immense castles of sound.
