Brian Eno

Ambient 1: Music for Airports

One of the ultimate ambient albums... the feeling this creates over 48 minutes is hard to describe which hints at the ethereal nature of the experience. I listen to this when I want the world to melt away.
It is mindless bliss... Total Zen... concentrated in musical form.
While this will not be for everyone, it is one of the most important albums of our generation. It taught artists to focus more on atmosphere, texture, and tone. We all benefit from this today...
