"... a 1978 ambient masterpiece that helped launch the genre through its technological savvy and its soft heart." 10/10 Pitchfork.
 
Released in 1978, Ambient 1: Music for Airports is Brian Eno’s serene masterpiece and the birth of a genre. Created by layering tape loops of different lengths, these four spacious compositions were designed as a continuous installation to soften the stress and bustle of airport terminals.
 
The first in Eno’s Ambient series, the album gave the world a new term—“ambient music”—which he described as being “as ignorable as it is interesting.” Music for Airports set the tone for decades of meditative, atmospheric music to come, and remains a cornerstone for anyone seeking calm, clarity, or simply a space to think.
 
This is Eno at his most quietly revolutionary.
