Ambience. One of the greatest things to ever hit music. This is where it began. Brian Eno started what would forever be known as "background music", "atmospheric music", and "sonic sound" with this album. If you hate music that is "boring" or is long and drawn out, then this isn't for you. All you get is 4 tracks that loop, over and over again. Sounds bad right? Wrong, it rules. 1/1 is full of piano, 2/1 is full of "aaahhh"s, 1/2 is vocals and piano, and 2/2 is synthizizers. There isn't much to say about the album, except that it's fantastic. I highly recomend.

"Ambient Music must be able to accomodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting." -Brian Eno, album's liner notes
