The second album in the Ambient series was almost better than the first. Brian Eno's second attemt at Ambience was assisted by Harold Budd, which helped quite a bit. The songs are shorter and more Piano-oriented than Ambient 1 (Except for "1/1") and have a radiant feel to them ("First Light"). All the songs are pretty good, as we don't see any of the choir vocals like in "2/1" (Ambient 1). This is a good album to listen to while reading or taking a nice, long, car ride.
