The Drop is the fifteenth solo studio album by British musician Brian Eno.
The album continues in the same style as much of his work of the period exploring impressionistic, ambient instrumental soundscapes rather than more conventional songwriting. The 2014 reissue includes the 77 Million Paintings album as a bonus disc and edits the track "Iced World" from its original 32 minutes down to 18 minutes – the same duration on both vinyl and CD. "Originally titled Unwelcome Jazz: "jazz that nobody asked for", and many did not care for": David Sheppard in On Some Faraway Beach The Life and Times of Brian Eno.
