Brian Eno:

Another Green World:(1975)

Before And After Science:(1977)

Ambient 1 Music For Airports:(1978)

Music For Films:(1978)

Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks:(1983)

The Pearl; Harold Budd/Brian Eno:(1984)

I pull out Music For Airports more times than I can recount. I use it as a focusing tool to calm my mind while working. I often do the same with Apollo, Music for Films and The Pearl. There have been times when I spent the entire day playing Eno's ambient music on loop just for the atmosphere it provides. No one has ever put on one of Eno's ambient albums for a party. They are more of a solitary affair, one of contemplation. However, his other albums are party worthy, I'll Come Running is such a great song off of Another Green World with Robert Fripp providing the guitar acrobatics like only he can. By This River, off of Before And After Science, is a beautiful tranquil love song worthy of any party. Over the years, Eno has made music for all occasions, and introduced the world to a depth of atmospherics that music didn't have before he came along.
