The review offers a serious critique of Brian Eno & Jah Wobble's album Spinner, emphasizing its ambient style which the reviewer finds detached and lacking vibrancy. The expected reggae influence is minimal and subdued. The music perfectly suits solitary and melancholic settings but fails to engage listeners looking for livelier experiences. The reviewer distances himself from the work, attributing the album's style mainly to Brian Eno. Listen to Brian Eno & Jah Wobble's Spinner and explore its unique ambient textures.

While unconventional, the album offers a distinctive listening experience that evokes curiosity and reflection. Listen to Bruce Gilbert's Ab Ovo and experience a groundbreaking fusion of machine rhythms and sonic exploration.
