Very rarely is an artist able create something wholly novel that also feels like it should naturally exist, but Eno’s creation of ambient music does exactly that. It’s not some obscure, avant-garde creation that few can appreciate, but a genre that serves a purpose and excels at it. This is music that anyone can hear and appreciate at any level, totally fulfilling the goal of creating music as forgettable as it is engaging. The story behind the album is more interesting than the album in a vacuum.
