This piece is my favorite from ambient 1. First time I heard it, tears came down silently while I stopped my walk and stared at the freeway from the bridge I was on. Thank you Mr eno.
Thumbs up if you are in an airport. This song has meant so much to me over the years. I was 15 in 2005 when I first got this CD from the library and ripped a copy of it. And also for the last ten years this video has served me well as I have pulled it up and periodically looked at the different images. This song is beautiful i'm just styring to make something as beautiful as this. It is a pleasure to listen to this piece in an airport. I love airports but i also get nervous around flying. there is something so spiritual to me about this song. Many of my friends are from different backgrounds, and like many folks in the west I have a good deal of friends who are not particularly religious or anything in any way (although some do have fun investiageing religion and challenging it) but something hits us somewhere when we hear this song if we are waiting for it. (i know I have had driends get bored during it which i think is fair) But something hits us. somewhere right near my spiritual zone. who knows if we'll sort out human sensation patterns and what the God spot is in our brains. but i wonder how cool it is to be a human right now living in this airport full of sotries and memories and community.
This is my favorite piece on "Music For Airports". I recently made a continuous 76-minute loop of this piece by using Audacity to crossfade its end to its beginning six or seven times. I then burned it onto a CD and use it to play at night when I sleep. Very peaceful and beautiful. One of Eno's very best.
I listened to this alone on MDMA while also doing the Wim Hof breathing. It was the most magical and spiritual moment I’ve ever experienced in my life to this point.
I listen to it a lot in the dark; it's a very serene piece, that sounds like the auditory equivalent of an emotional closure. I'm strongly considering having it played at my funeral.
I really like this kind of environment. Light, delicate, subtle, filigree. I've been listening to Mr. Eno for twenty years and I'm still delighted. Great vibes! I especially enjoy listening to this ambient in the evening and at night. Thank you that you exist, Mr. Eno.
Brian Eno has come up with many many beautiful tracks but this is truly one of his most profound - so filled with longing and emotion it is almost impossible to describe in words the feelings and emotions that this track somehow conjures up in many listeners...
It is deceptively powerful, like Ambient 1 on the whole (for some reason Ambient 1 is the LP that I listen to least from his ambient stuff; maybe it's simplicity had me thinking I'd had it all sussed out), yet it stands apart from the whole set and elevates it all. For me this song captures perfectly the solitude one might feel extremely early in the morning...but also the apparent objectivity of nature...it is like a rock or a cloud...it is just *there,* indifferent to our feelings about it.
This is sublime a beautiful piece of music haunting makes you realise we are all alone . With only are thoughts and memories of our distant past and uncertain future.
This is perhaps the most beautiful video upon Brian Eno's music. Its a sacred door to the astral plane. Thanks a lot for creating this amazing production and congratulations with all my soul.
Love that analogue synth sound.. nothing like it :o) Eno "composed" this piece by letting several tapes of synthesizer notes run together, each repeating after a different interval.
It's also amazing to know that this was essentially an improvised piece, with the randomly selected intervals and all. Since you like Eno, I also highly recommend Robert Fripp's solo soundscape works. All the albums are improvised, live, and incredible. Similar to Eno, but darker and more emotional. He has a track entitled "Sky" on his 1994 album "Radiophonics", that is a true toss-up with "2/2" for the title of the greatest ambient track ever.
This track is best heard as intended, as the 'finale' to an Ambient Masterpiece...It's kind of like listening to only the 'last' 'Planet'- in Dutoit's Montreal's version of Holst "The Planets". ..This is the piece that first really brought me to ambient music..as well as Lyle Mays/Pat Metheny's as Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls(named by Dave Holland in studio.)
There is a bit of an Eno sountrack for "Dune" that still is one of my favorite all time Eno pieces.(Titled "Spice" I think)Its small but succinct and I think Its hilarious that the rest of the "Dune" soundtrack was done by POCO .
I have to agree with you 100% Keith. Simply captivating, and if it lasted 3 more minutes, I would be rendered useless by this sense of anxiety that brings me close to tears just as the piece ends. I cannot explain it, but it is the most transcendental feeling I have ever experienced. It is more captivating than Jarre's Oxygene or Equinoxe...which I always thought was impossible.
I have the biggest 80s analog synth fetish :-) And I absolutely love the synth here as well. And if you're a big fan of 80s analog synths like me, nothing beats 80s Rush. Nothing.
@mildredsmittens : The piece you are referring to in the shining is by Wendy Carlos and is actually an electronic re-working of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique - I believe it can be obtained on one of Wendy's re-issue cd's - check out her website.
This might be strange, but this music actually reminds me of the opening scene in Saving Private Ryan when the old Pvt. Ryan is walking through the cemetery.
Music for Airports? Music for Life is more accurate with this piece. To me this is on par with Aphex Twin's ambient piece "Rhubarb". This truly is one of the most beautiful pieces of ambiance music I've ever heard. I've meditated to this, I've fallen asleep to this I've gone on walks to this. The stand out track on the whole album.
this has long been one of my favorite tracks ever as well but i just recently discovered rhubarb and they are definitely both in the highest echelon... u smart
Oh man, funny you mention that -- I discovered that track about a month ago. My GOD. Easily one of Eno's most amazing tracks ever. I still think 2/2 beats it out, but An Ending (Ascent) is up there in the Top 5. Whenever I listen to An Ending (Ascent), I imagine a room lit with tons of lit candles, like a church or a funeral wake or something. Eno's music conjures up amazing mental imagery like that, at least for me.
Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining has very similar music to this around 10minutes in (where the helicopter footage follows the Torrance's car through the Colorado valley's). I don't think Eno had anything to do with the musical score of the Shining. Has anyone any idea who composed the music that I'm referring to in the film?
@mildredsmittens Yes, that was a piece by Wendy Carlos called "Rocky Mountains", using a Circon, a sort of round, altered Theremin (google it with her name and you'll see). The overlap in Rocky Mountains causes a similar effect as in 2/2. The effect was achieved in both cases with tape loops, though I believe 2/2 was made with several tape loops of various lengths being run at the same time, producing the ethereal, random effect you hear here.
@paintedbishop Hi there; The piece you are referring to ( just checked the film) is called 8M1 by Brian Eno - it is on the original score to the film which - wait for it - is not available anywhere and is not going to be. The version used in the scene here is diiferent even from the soundtrack - I have the ability to mix down a raw version of the music for you using the stems from the film track. The other most complete version of this track is during the credit roller for the film.
Funny, I could never get into a lot of Floyd, haha. So basically the opposite for me, because Eno I'm in love with. But the song Echoes and Shine On Parts 6-10 are two of the greatest songs I've ever heard. This particular song is probably the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard -- seriously, this is being played at my funeral hopefully.
@mildredsmittens That long, eerie, portentious choppershot in "The Shining" was watched by me to the synth version of Berlioz' "Symphonie Fantastique". Right?
@atomic161 I think it's available, or at least a lot of it is. The unused soundtrack is fantastic. The Jack death music and the clockwork title music are just haunting.
listening to pop radio makes me sad. Everything is just trying to grab your attention. Even the songs are just commercials for the Celebrity/Tabloid Star careers that the "artists" focus on. Everything plays on your emotions and tries to trap you like a beast into a cesspool of shopping addiction and stupidity. But this is music that loves you.
It's not the opening music I refer to but the music about 10minutes in to the film. I thought it could be Wendy Carlos (as this composer featured heavily in the film) but I am not so sure about the music 10 mins in - it sounds just like the Eno score here.
You sure it's in the Colorado valley? Been trying to find that road forever, to no avail. Like the lake with the small island we see... Anyone know where that could be? Thanks
@coffeeintheface The movie Traffic used the Ascent pitch perfect (pun intended) with it's last scene where Bencio del Toro is in the bleachers at the little league game that the DEA built for him in Tijuana... Benicio:"You like baseball? We need lights for the parks, so kids can play at night. So they can play baseball. So they don't become burros para los malones. Everyone likes baseball. Everyone likes parks."
You rock -- The Shining is my all-time favorite film (I'm a huge horror fan, plus I love Kubrick, so thus fave film). Anyways, Wendy Carlos did that opening music. I LOVE her stuff. I'd say Eno's stuff is a hair too happy for a movie like The Shining, but I know what you mean.
Don't suppose anyone knows the names of the tracks used in top boy by brian eno??listened to loeads of his albums on here and cant find anything.any input would be greatly appreciated.thanks
Howdy! Has someone remastered "music for airports" into the 5.1 format? It would SOUND AWESOME!! Any one want to try it with me? ... from dave in austin, texas

Agreed! sounds like an awesome mix for those difficult nights. I may just try something similar :)
I agree. All of the music on Ambient 1 is lovely, but this piece has its own positive and serene beauty.
I listened to this alone on MDMA while also doing the Wim Hof breathing. It was the most magical and spiritual moment I’ve ever experienced in my life to this point.
taps into my inner loneliness. Those warm summer evenings travelling in the car over open countryside from a day out and watching the sun going down
I listen to it a lot in the dark; it's a very serene piece, that sounds like the auditory equivalent of an emotional closure. I'm strongly considering having it played at my funeral.
Doing the same right now, playing this at 01:00 in the morning, drinking whisky , lights off, wondering wtf can I do with my life
I really like this kind of environment. Light, delicate, subtle, filigree. I've been listening to Mr. Eno for twenty years and I'm still delighted. Great vibes! I especially enjoy listening to this ambient in the evening and at night. Thank you that you exist, Mr. Eno.

GRACIASSS. Gracias infinitas por sumergirnos en la hermosura conceptual de ENO.
Reminds me of the opening scenes in Blade Runner, flying through the city.
This song makes my heart feel heavy. It brings out emotions.
Better together love..♥️ 143
I LOVE this....sooo relaxing....it's been a track that has kept me sane for years..
First Brian Eno track I ever heard, back during my Junior year of college back in 2002....SO glad I met it :)
Walking in the forest, alone, in the rain...this on my headphones....purest meditation...
It is beautiful, ELVE AlouaisA. It would also be meditative in a restorative yoga class.
Watch out for the drop bears! You wont hear them dropping to get you!Ha Ha !
Very nice
Love that analogue synth sound.. nothing like it :o)
Eno "composed" this piece by letting several tapes of synthesizer notes run together, each repeating after a different interval.
The cosmos are calling.
Escuchar esta música es sinónimo de paz y relax, que bonito es el Cosmos 🌌🌠
another time, another place: this music for me is a peace of my mind
My favourite song, remembers me of pure peace.
ENO THEE EXCELLENT
recommend this, a dark room, and cold water
This song massages my brain.
Love this song. Goes great with an afternoon sunset on the beach.
It reminds me of a beach as well 🏖
Absolutely amazing.. it makes you wonder things about life, any kind of emotions rushing back, your head in trance. it's just lovely
It's also amazing to know that this was essentially an improvised piece, with the randomly selected intervals and all.

Deadsy
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.
I love this kind of music.
Every time I hear this piece I think of my grandmother on her deathbed and his journey in the afterlife , and I feel like crying :(
afterlife?
@@albertturk6771 not a hard concept to grasp.
@paintedbishop Glad you found it - the score to this film is unbelievably moving in places..
This track is best heard as intended, as the 'finale' to an Ambient Masterpiece...It's kind of like listening to only the 'last' 'Planet'- in Dutoit's Montreal's version of Holst "The Planets".
..This is the piece that first really brought me to ambient music..as well as Lyle Mays/Pat Metheny's as Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls(named by Dave Holland in studio.)
Eno, along with Jarre and Vangelis, is beyond our time and space.
And to think, Eno knew nothing in the very beginning, 😉
There is a bit of an Eno sountrack for "Dune" that still is one of my favorite all time Eno pieces.(Titled "Spice" I think)Its small but succinct and I think Its hilarious that the rest of the "Dune" soundtrack was done by POCO .
Glad you enjoyed it. It's my favorite Eno piece and one of my favorite songs ever.
Love the tone of the arp 2600
Here, Brian Eno has mastered the art of musical tension and resolution...the chord at 1:39 is absolutely as magical as it is cathartic.
literally feel my heart slowing down
my favorite song off "Ambient 1" too.
you Do hit me in the sore spot, Right on!
Time to sleep... but it keeps me awake...
I have to agree with you 100% Keith. Simply captivating, and if it lasted 3 more minutes, I would be rendered useless by this sense of anxiety that brings me close to tears just as the piece ends. I cannot explain it, but it is the most transcendental feeling I have ever experienced. It is more captivating than Jarre's Oxygene or Equinoxe...which I always thought was impossible.
I love it too. Sort of reminds me of some of Copland's work
💜💜💜💜💜💜
The most unique track on Music For Airports by far. Reminds me of Cramond beachside.....:)
beautiful
I have the biggest 80s analog synth fetish :-) And I absolutely love the synth here as well.
And if you're a big fan of 80s analog synths like me, nothing beats 80s Rush. Nothing.
Thanks for the upload. A suitably cosmic tune and vid to prepare a lecture to...
My top 3 Ambient albums would be this one, Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks and Selected Ambient Works Vol. II by Aphex Twin. Two out of 3 ain't bad.
@mildredsmittens : The piece you are referring to in the shining is by Wendy Carlos and is actually an electronic re-working of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique - I believe it can be obtained on one of Wendy's re-issue cd's - check out her website.

The stand out track on the whole album.
Sam the Angel Fox absolutely
this has long been one of my favorite tracks ever as well but i just recently discovered rhubarb and they are definitely both in the highest echelon... u smart
sound awesome, kind of remember me of vangelis
try this at home;
wake up / strap on ear buds / click 2/2 / hit bong (small) / do dishes / traverse the galaxy
this is nice
Oh man, funny you mention that -- I discovered that track about a month ago. My GOD. Easily one of Eno's most amazing tracks ever. I still think 2/2 beats it out, but An Ending (Ascent) is up there in the Top 5.
Whenever I listen to An Ending (Ascent), I imagine a room lit with tons of lit candles, like a church or a funeral wake or something. Eno's music conjures up amazing mental imagery like that, at least for me.
Thumbs up for Brian Eno helping you with homework. ^_^

божественно красиво
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@paintedbishop : "The Big Ship" from the Brian Eno album "Another Green World"
Lol first I heard as well in 03 love it
@mildredsmittens Yes, that was a piece by Wendy Carlos called "Rocky Mountains", using a Circon, a sort of round, altered Theremin (google it with her name and you'll see). The overlap in Rocky Mountains causes a similar effect as in 2/2. The effect was achieved in both cases with tape loops, though I believe 2/2 was made with several tape loops of various lengths being run at the same time, producing the ethereal, random effect you hear here.
Rocky Mountains shows that all it takes to make amazing music is proper usage of a sus2 chord :-) One of my fave soundtracks ever
Yes it definitely is. It's the final track on Music for Airports.

amazing, cool, I try to have a vision .....but....
You sure it's in the Colorado valley? Been trying to find that road forever, to no avail. Like the lake with the small island we see...
Anyone know where that could be? Thanks
Can anyone help me to find a picture from 3:50 please ?
For some reason this reminds me of tampura music.
この曲はスゲーよー
最高だよー
ヤバイよー

Nice ARP 2600 Sound :)
Good call!
I think of space
Body Wars.
Howdy! Has someone remastered "music for airports" into the 5.1 format? It would SOUND AWESOME!! Any one want to try it with me? ... from dave in austin, texas
ARP 2600 used on this piece apparently.
this would've been good soundtrack to Sorceror, instead they used Tangerine Dream??
Does anyone know the art at 4:50?
RIFLUDO, como dice memo rios: aplausos aplausos!!
You mean "Toto?"
Coffeeintheface - Western society drinks a lot of coffee, first discovered and processed by Arabs in Ethiopia. Oh well just another Algorithm.
Subwoofer = 100%
dr. lair?
it'snot music for airports 2/2..
Nice, but not as beautiful as the track "An Ending (Ascent)" from his Apollo album.
:)
