Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 1992, 'Nerve Net' was Brian Eno's first album after his departure from the pop-oriented sound of the late 1980s. This marks a significant shift as he embraced more experimental electronic music following his earlier works such as 'Another Green World' and 'The Shutov Assembly'. At this point, Eno was also innovating with new studio techniques and expanding his collaboration network.
