Nerve Net is the twelfth solo studio album by 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 present 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" and "Fractal Zoom", both of which featured various remixes of the songs by the likes of Moby, Markus Dravs and Isaac Osapanin.
All tracks composed by Brian Eno.
All Saints/Hannibal/Ryko (HNCD 1477)
On 28 June 2005, a remastered version of Nerve Net was issued with the following bonus tracks:
All Saints/Hannibal (HNCD 1477) / (HNCD1477ADV)
Some versions, including a promotional disc released in 2004, contained the following bonus tracks:
All Saints (ASCDA41) / Beat Records (BRC-101)
Yet other versions, instead of bonus remixes, included an enhanced section with an "Ali Click" video by Jerome Lefdup and Lari Flash.
The December 2014 remaster includes no bonus material on the Nerve Net disc, but does include a bonus disc with the original My Squelchy Life album:
My Squelchy Life supposedly was to be released in September 1991, but as the release was postponed to February 1992, Eno decided to re-edit the album into Nerve Net instead.
In conjunction with Nerve Net, two CD maxi-singles were released.
Ali Click (1992) is a CD Maxi-Single of remixes of the song "Ali Click" from Brian Eno's album Nerve Net. It is also notable for including a version of "I Fall Up", a track from the withdrawn My Squelchy Life album, which is longer than the 3:42 version included in Eno Box II: Vocal.
Fractal Zoom' (1992) is a CD Maxi-Single of remixes of the song "Fractal Zoom" from Brian Eno's album Nerve Net. Tracks marked '*' mixed by Markus "Dravius" Draws. Tracks marked '**' mixed remixed with additional production by Moby.
