Ambient 1/Music For Airports – Brian Eno
Never has an album title fit the content better than this. I found this to be a really interesting listen as it remained in the forefront as an active listening experience but it wasn’t distracting and never took me away from what I was doing which seems to be exactly its goal. Just perfect for tasks where focus is critical but when silence is deafening.
I did some reading about this and it really was written out of frustration at the uninspired atmosphere of an airport. If you have ever gone to the United terminal at O’Hare with the lights and the moving walkway it would seem that it was inspired by this.
Here is 1/1 which kicks things off.
