 Very good June 20, 2008
Steve in Memphis (Memphis Tennessee)
This is a pleasant CD and would be a worthy addition to your collection. I also bought Thursday Afternoon, and think that it is even better. Sometimes this CD is just the right thing. Recommended.
 My favorite Eno album June 17, 2008
William Muse (Michigan)
Buy this for just the first song alone ("Discreet Music"). Over 30 min in length, it is a wonderfully understated song. I can listen to it a dozen times and it still is capturing. The other songs are almost as good but they pale in comparison.

Sure, it's everything everyone says it is. But you might try listening to wind chimes for an hour or so instead. Or better yet, an Aeolean harp. Saves on electricity, don't you know.

In response to Ba "Ba"-All of music is built on "variations on a theme". Without John Barry's musical score to "Born Free", the musical score of "Star Wars" would have been something completely different. An article by Fredrick Pinto states "building on what other musicians have done - with or without their blessing or collaboration - is what it takes to make new music, music that will delight and sustain people". Beethoven, Chopin and Max Reger all did variations on themes by Mozart who himself was influenced by J.S.Bach and G.F. Handel. Musicians will even do variations on their own themes, e.g. J.S.Bach's Goldberg Variations. An article by Thomas Goetz in Wired magazine states, "By nature, musicians are thieves. Nicking a bit of this song and a lick from that one, shaping their style on the riffs of those who came before, musicians are experts in the art of acquisition." (This may be a variation on a quote from Peter Gabriel).
To this end, Brian Eno is following what all musicians do naturally and I love it. His music is appealing to me not just for the emotional and spiritual content but for the intellectual content as well. If your musical taste runs the full gamut as mine does, I would highly recommend this CD as an introduction to a new direction Eno has taken music. "Music is everywhere and in everything, we need to just tune in."

the Canon in D major by Johann Pachelbel part of the cd is an actual intruments, only the first track is done with the reel to reel tape device. maybe people should read more liner notes.
