Damage (Incl. Limited Edition Bonus CD) (1999)

"This might seem like an unlikely pairing: Roger Eno and Drum Club co-founder, Lol Hammond, who is known mainly for his work in the sphere of electronic dance music. Happily, it's a solid success. Eno brings a level of harmonic sophistication to the proceedings that is generally missing from the world of techno, not to mention a contemplative, almost pastoral sensibility that he shares with his more famous brother Brian (to whom we owe the word 'ambient' as a musical term). Hammond, for his part, takes what could have been almost soporific keyboard parts and muscles them up with electronic rhythm that never sounds artifically imposed. Hence, the soothing, yet rhythmically interesting flow of "Something Orange," and the slow, swinging, trip-hop pianism of "Hip Hop Flipperty Flop," which sounds for all the world like "Music For Airports" remixed by Portishead. That's a compliment. You can't really call this music 'challenging,' but somehow it's still very rewarding." (Rick Anderson, Allmusic; 4 uit 5 sterren)
