    In this video, we’ll take a closer look at the music of this classic album and the reason why Brian Eno wanted to give airports all over the world an official soundtrack.

    It's been a staggering 45 years since "Ambient 1: Music for Airports" was released. It might have been the first ambient album, but is it the best? Which is your favourite ambient album? Comment below! 👇

    Five years prior, you have Vangelis’s L’Apocalypse des Animaux, which ended up featuring a lot of tropes that characterise ambient.

      Thanks, I'll be sure to check that one out! Rest in peace maestro Vangelis... Blade Runner will forever be one of the all time great movie soundtracks.

    People who can relax to that shit are trapped in cyber space, Ambience is alternative meditation for robots.
