(1992)Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [1] Entertainment Weekly (C-)[2] Nerve Net is a 1992 music album by the British musician Brian Eno. It marked a return to more rock-oriented material, mixed with heavily syncopated rhythms, experimental electronic compositions and an occasional touch of jazz. The ambient sensibility is still there on several tracks, though it is often darker and moodier than the pieces Eno is best known for.
The album generated 12-inch and CD singles for the pieces "Ali Click"[1], and "Fractal Zoom"[2], both of which featured various remixes of the songs by the likes of Moby, Markus Dravs and Isaac Osapanin.
