I would definitely agree that this album is a blueprint for a lot of modern ambient and electronic music. I remember back in the mid 90s when I first got into underground dance music, I was already reading about how so many of the artists I liked at the time were heavily influenced by this album. Brian Eno is an amazing musician all around. From his work with Roxy Music, to the rock albums he produced in the 70s, to his ambient series, and even his more experimental and film score style projects. This guy is truly a master of sound.
