I just got off a rowdy and loud gig. For me it was soothing thru my Bose set up. I enjoyed it
 
 

Roxy Music played a key importance in initially catapulting Brian Eno's career, not only as a performer but as a highly respected sound engineer and of course along with his art work.  
 
Thursday Morning, is cool apart from the low droning along with the very high-pitch sound (air and bow elements) that resonates throughout this track -- this particular element of the track is repetitive (overly drawn-out) although what saves Eno's butt are all the nuances he artfully weaves throughout.   
 
I guess more and more writers/musicians are delving into styles based on "Ambient" music but for example, with a fusion of Folk and dare I say; Hip-Hop, RnB and Pop yet more cleverly arranged with an ingenious sense of rhythm rather than heavily focused on 'beatz'. 
 
Anyone actually tried Eno? Apparently it's very smoothing and a relief:   

Ahhh, 60-minutes???? Too much of spaceyness. Nothing wrong with it for what it is. I just don't know when I would devote 60-minutes to listening of this. Rather soothing though for 5-10-minutes.

I think I would like to write pieces like this but with more variation, something that develops more over the 60 minutes.
 
I often hear people complain that pieces are too short, that a piece was just developing then ended.

It IS called "Ambient" for a reason and Eno has, what?, 50+ albums?  (I've got 16 from him.)  Plus he's been part of several other successful efforts usually helping with sound textures.
... 

Thank you.
 
I have over 20 of his albums including stuff with Cluster, Robert Fripp and then by himself. But regardless of what it is called, there is some really pretty stuff in all of it, regardless of where you look. It's just different music, and not subject to the rock'n'roll mentality that we think is music and everything else isn't.
 
(Haven't heard the YouTube piece yet. Can't get it here at work)
 

Heh, I've got the Cluster & Eno album as well as three Fripp & Eno albums too.  I'm sure I've got the U2, Talking Heads, Daivd Bowie, Devo, Depeche Mode and Bauhaus albums he's involved with as well.

Boooooooring!

Boooooooring!
 

Not if you add mushrooms and some light goggles.
 

 
(I worked with the main engineer who built this and I've got some "special" goggles that have twice the power - heh...)

Not my cuppa.

There's just so little movement to it. I was quite surprised to realize that as I clicked through it to get to something interesting that what I thought was 1 minute was actually an HOUR of the exact same thing. Even blasted on hallucinogens and getting visually hammered by some freaky video I think I'd still get bored.
 
Seems like musical extremism for the sake of extremism like some of the over top cookie monster metal that's out there these days (which I also find ridiculously boring) except in the opposite direction.
 
Give me some nice mid east sitar and tabla drones or simple nature sounds and I'd have a much better time.
 
Not to say Brian Eno isn't a talented fellow but this just strikes me as silly and artistically a little self indulgent.
 
Of course I am musically hyperactive and a spazz in general so that's JMO.
