Brian Eno "Ambient 1: Music For Airports" (1978)
Eno, having produced some great pop-rock records and Bowie's adventurous Berlin
trilogy, as well as his own solo albums that mixed traditional song
structures with interesting production techniques and background sonic
experiments took a few steps further here.
Eno had been moving in more and more ambient directions, here he fully
takes the plunge with relatively formless, sparse soundscapes. Eno
stated that the music "...must be as ignorable as it is interesting",
music designed to have on in the background and drift in and out of,
rather than concentrate on intently, and in that, it succeeds
beautifully.
