Reminder that anyone who hates this album is a:
>normie
>female
>SJW
or all three. Basically the cancer killing /mu/.
I'm a semi-normie semi-SJW with a semi and I like the album
That argument can only be made by someone under the age of 15
I don't care about that album. What does this makes me?

Yeah, the horrible truth about Ambient 1: Music for Airports, one that no one wants to talk about, is that it's pleasant, in the worst way possible. I mean, pleasant, the same way handjobs given from an inexperienced girl who has never seen the equipment or is unused to moving her hands in a certain way is pleasant, because its better than nothing. This is certainly a step above John Cage's "4'33" (oh, man, he did not go there) but why listen to Ambient 1: Music for Airports when you can listen to anything else at all is beyond me. Why settle for a clumsy handjob when you can have the world? So because people think that Ambient 1: Music for Airports is the first ambient record, it has been romanticized to the moon and back (and nothing beats romance like the moon. That thing's been following the Earth since it formed and it's been too scared of rejection to get cozier and too scared of loneliness to leave). For those who've come to believe that this is the first ambient release--it's not! I mean his own Discreet Music, that little oddball that no one likes talking about, came three years before this. The only reason this one gets a little more attention is because that one wasn't named Ambient 0: Music for Hospitals, which is essentially what it was. And this one wouldn't even work in an airtport, which is normally so busy you wouldn't be able to hear ambient music, or else so dead that you'd rather listen to anything else. Another thing, have you seen these track titles? I mean, do you ever get together with your friends and say things like, "Man, do you like Brian Eno?" "Sure, I like Brian Eno." "What's your favorite Brian Eno song?" "Oh, I gotta say it's probably '1/1.'" "Really? I much prefer '1/2.'" You guys will sound absolutely nuts, I tell you.
I liked Ambient 2 better personally, but Ambient 1 was alright, you just need to get that stick out of your ass. 1/1 is beautiful, but the rest of Ambient 1 just sounds like it's trying to recreate its majesty. Ambient 2 however, is consistantly good all the way through.

Ambient music is easily misjudged on a first listen. Coming from other genres, you are liable to think nothing is happening. You are liable to hear emptiness where you think the sounds ought to be. But if you think there is nothing going on here, you haven't listened to these tracks enough. There are subtle musical motifs which weave in and out of the tracks, and if you persist with this long enough, every note seems to bloom icily.
In terms of texture, it is lush and rich. 2/2 is a particularly lovely tapestry of sounds. To me this music seems both melancholic and hopeful, rich and austere. Boundaries seem to blur. On 2/1, for example, it is hard to tell between a synth and the human voice, and try distinguishing which parts of this music are light and which parts shade.
And then we come to the question of influence. Before Eno's ambient music, films and TV shows tended to have scores. If I watch a movie from the 1930s to the 1960s these days, I am often taken aback by the heavy use of orchestras to set the mood. All of this changed in the late 1970s when Eno-style ambient music came into popularity instead. Rather than composing a score, film makers increasingly used textures and ambient soundscapes as mood indicators. I don't think it would be an exaggeration to call the impact of Eno's work revolutionary in this respect. Strange as it may once have felt to me, I would now easily rate this is one of the seminal albums of the 1970s.
Ambient 4 is his best work by far
Dunwich Beach is his best song
Fight me
Who the fuck is this guy and why does he get to be the judge of this
I watched a little bit of the video, he has no idea what he's talking about
his voice actually hurts my ears
he's just an edgy dadrocker with a following of 15-year-old boys who love to hear him give ~controversial counter-culture opinions~

Pretty much this. I mean, Fantano isn't great but daily reminder that we could be soooooo much worse off.
e.g. this faggot:

We all know that Pink Moon is the best Nick Drake album, but which is better out of his other two? I'm a Bryter Layter man, myself, but Five Leaves Left is great too.
i love boris as well
I prefer Five Leaves Left, only for Day is done, but i love both of them.
all three albums are great - Bryter Layter is my favorite of all

I love him. People can't take his music seriously and I can understand why, but Malice Mizer is still one of my favourite bands of all time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KT0ZO0XhCk
>>61630959
Nice, I really like early Malice Mizer.
This is actually one of my favorite songs by them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpwG4fHL6Sc
>>61631250
Yeah, early Malice Mizer is great. Early Gackt period is also good.
