Brian Eno

Jan 2, 2023

Good morning, and happy new year.

Today we’re listening to Brian Eno, an English music producer. Eno found that music can be background and meaningful at the same time. That’s the premise of this newsletter, so we owe Eno something. To kick off the new year, we’re playing a few records from the ambient canon. Thursday Afternoon, from 1985, is pure profundity. Ambient 1 holds up, and Discreet Music remains one of our favorite ambient compositions.

Thursday Afternoon - Brian Eno (60m, no vocals)
Spotify / Apple Music / YouTube Music / Amazon Music / Tidal

Ambient 1: Music for Airports - Brian Eno (50m, no vocals)
Spotify / Apple Music / YouTube Music / Amazon Music / Tidal

Discreet Music - Brian Eno (60m, no vocals)
Spotify / Apple Music / YouTube Music / Amazon Music / Tidal

We wish you a great start to the new year.
