Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

He’s taking the piss with the amount of music he’s put out. I have no idea where to start, apart from to say I have been listening to the stream only EP Film Music : Science Fiction which is a compilation.

Recommendations please

Anyone getting into Eno probably already knows this, but Music for Airports is right up there with Aphex Twins Selected Ambient Works for its influence on ambient music going forward

Oh wow... you've just picked 2 of my favourite artists & albums. 🙂

Music For Airports
After the Heat

[–] Daydreamer@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Music for Airports was a ground breaking release and is still a great listen

[–] freamon@endlesstalk.org 3 points 1 year ago

Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks is probably most like the EP you're listening too (they both have The Ascent on them).

Of the 'Ambient' releases, I've never really got into 'Music for Airports', but 'Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror' has some very pleasant piano-led tracks, and 'Ambient 4: On Land' is weirdly terrifying at times, but something I still regularly listen to.

Not music, but I enjoyed Adam Buxton's interviews with Eno:
Part 1
Part 2

Thursday afternoon, neroli.

[–] SNEWSLEYPIES@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

This is the objective scientific answer, OP.

The Fripp collaborations also merit your attention.

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I recommend Thursday Afternoon, and also The Ship

why

I like those ones a lot

You start with the first release, like you would for any other artist

[–] snacks@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting. Have you got any other banal advice? When leaving a house in winter put your coat on outside so you feel warmer

[–] SNEWSLEYPIES@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Just for reference, in the case of Eno, this is the worst idea anyway - "Here Come The Warm Jets" is kinda... not that good.

Still a fun listen though.
