My favorite Eno album so far


I have several Eno albums so far, and several Budd albums so far, probably about 8 or 9 albums between the two, and this could easily be my favorite one of them all. I haven't heard every single album by Eno yet but of the four or five that i have heard and own, this is my favorite. This is a one song, one hour album, that is nothing but just very pleasant and very soothing, easy going ambient music, performed by mostly acoustic piano and some synth in the background. Five stars.

Excellent
I bought this after listening to a sample on Amazon and was not disappointed. I think that it is even better than Discreet Music or Music for Airports, although those are also worth having. This CD is a good investment if you want something to relax to. It is great for reading or just destressing.

Beautiful, Wonderful, Brilliant
This is liquid audio. This is Eno at his best. It is the gold standard of ambient-long form.

What at first appears to be repetition is constantly changing, morphing, shifting until any recognizable musical signposts are gone and that's when you get this piece. I have frequently referred to is as "liquid Valium."

For about three months, it never left the car CD player.

Yet another "best ambient album I've ever heard" from Eno
It's embarrassing. It seems like every time I get a Brian Eno ambient CD and listen to it for a while, I become absolutely convinced that it's the single best ambient album I've ever heard. This has happened four times so far: with Ambient 2, Ambient 4, Neroli and now Thursday Afternoon. But I have to say that now I really, _really_ believe that Thursday Afternoon is the best ambient album I've ever heard. It's so soft and ethereal it's like it isn't even there, and yet as it plays you find yourself unwinding and relaxing into a better state of consciousness. I don't know where Eno gets his ambient mojo, but it's powerful stuff. So again: this is definitely the _best_ ambient album I've ever heard... until the next Eno album.

Top Ambient
This is one of ENO's finest ambient projects. Quiet haunting and mesmerizing. I would have to list this as one of ENO's top 5 pieces. I remember when it came out on VHS it had these silly instructions of watching the VHS with your TV turned on its side...I still wonder if it was some kind of joke...
