Brian Eno - music for films

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Someone mentioned Music for Airports by Brian Eno the other day.

My question is, how's Music for Films? Anyone heard it? Is it as super-ambient as Airports? Vol. 1, 2 or 3? Are they any good, and if so, which one is the better?

Music for Films is as great as the rest although if you want to vear slightly away from the ambient eno then try 'before and after science' - it pisses all over Bowie's heroes. A work of great wonder.

Brilliant song. As is Bowiehouse's version. :lol:

Thank you all. I'll look into it right away, because I'm pretty damned wealthy at the moment. Time to consume then.

Well, I felt that name was relevant, Third Uncle being the b-side to Ziggy Stardust and all. ;)

I still have 'Oblique' lying around here...

It is a little piece of software that gives you Eno's "advice" whenever you are in a musical impasse ;D

It's also a mere couple of bytes large, so if anyone wants it...
