An experimental music album destined for the masses.

 The final sensation is that perhaps the effect achieved by works like these... is to contribute to an isolation of the individual that can be even greater.

Brian Eno's digital-only album Sisters is an experimental extension of his previous project Reflection, created with algorithmic methods.
