All Saints

All Saints Records was established in 1991 and is named after the street in West London. The label's first releases were from Opal Records/Land Records, which had closed that year as Brian Eno's management company wanted to focus on artist management rather than being a label. All Saints has since continued to build upon those initial releases with new acts as well as with artists already associated with the label.

Brian Eno is an electronic musician and producer known for his multifaceted interests outside of music, especially in technology. He was born on May 15, 1948 in Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK.

Eno started his musical career with the band Roxy Music and went on to produce a number of highly eclectic and ambient electronic and acoustic albums. He is widely credited with coining the term "ambient music" through his series of albums recorded between 1978 and 1982.

In addition to his solo work, Eno has collaborated with artists such as David Byrne, David Bowie, Robert Fripp, Robert Wyatt, Jon Hassell, and Cluster. He has also worked as a producer for bands like U2, James, Coldplay, among others. Eno's contributions to music have earned him numerous accolades including Best Producer at the BRIT awards in 1994 and 1996.

Reissue of 1997 album, 'The Drop' was intended not only as a new area for his sonic explorations but as an entirely new style of 'Drop' music. Described by Eno as an interpretation of jazz from a vague, alien perspective, The Drop also integrates his interests in the melodic yet percussive basslines of Fela Kuti and the complex, labyrinthine melodies of The Mahavishnu Orchestra. Ever the provocateur, on this record Eno defies classification, avoiding association with pop, existent sonic approaches and even music itself.CD - Double CD Casebound with 16 Page Booklet. CD edition includes 9 rarely-heard bonus tracks from the same period as 'The Drop', previously only available as limited edition of 1,000 sold at an exhibition of Brian Eno's '77 Million Paintings' at La Floret in Japan in 2006, the original issue of which has since become a collector's item amongst Eno fans.LP - Vinyl edition is the first time the album has appeared on this format.
