Brian Eno – Ambient 1: Music For Airports

“Considered by many to be the ultimate ambient album, ‘music for airports’ is so delicate, lovely, and aesthetically moving, that it has been known to give rise to sensations of flying, being enfolded in warm blankets, or watching a vision take place in the heavens. if this sounds like an overstatement, you haven’t heard the album. a four part ‘piece’ performed entirely on synthesizer and piano, eno’s composition finds a referent more in abstract painting (one visualizes bold blocks of colour in warm hues) than in any musical genre. resonant synthesizer notes resembling bells or voices are interwoven with bits of melody, overlapping each other, and fading in and out of an architectural silence.”
