Brian Eno released Small Craft on a Milk Sea back in November—which means you’re far too late to get the $400 collector’s edition box set. No matter; the $13 version available through Amazon will do quite nicely. Opening and closing with pieces reminiscent of Eno’s previous ambient collaborations with Harold Budd, Small Craft nevertheless has some surprisingly percussive moments. It’s more improvisation than composition—an approach Eno seems to do better than just about anyone around.
