Considered by many to be the ultimate ambient album, MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS is so delicate, lovely, and aesthetically moving, that it has been known to give rise to sensations of flying, being enfolded in warm blankets, or watching a vision take place in the heavens. If this sounds like an overstatement, you haven't heard the album. A four part "piece" performed entirely on synthesizer and piano, Eno's composition finds a referent more in abstract painting (one visualizes bold blocks of color in warm hues) than in any musical genre.
Resonant synthesizer notes resembling bells or voices are interwoven with bits of melody, overlapping each other, and fading in and out of an architectural silence. Essentially, it's the kind of music one might hear in heaven, and Eno manages to present it without the pretense or cheese that typify most of what later became "new age" music. MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS stands against the prejudices of even the staunchest ambient music critics, partly because Eno did it first, but mostly because this disc is genuine, pure, and achingly beautiful.
Personnel: Brian Eno (various instruments); Christa Fast, Christine Gomez, Inge Zeininger (vocals); Robert Wyatt (piano).
Liner Note Author: Brian Eno.
Rolling Stone (p.94) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[A] hypnotic, lush excursion into ambient music that gave birth to a million electronic musicians for whom microvariations in tone are equivalent of guitar solos."
Q (7/99, p.151) - Included in Q's Best Chill-Out Albums of All Time - "...soothing and sublime, a useful album when you're feeling particulary delicate....[its] fragile, weightless music that frequently vanishes altogether, lapsing into contemplative silence."
The Wire (p.59) - "He has expanded on the core idea of Ambient representing a kind of subtle interventionism, a music specifically designed to affect the space in which it is played..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.127) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[A]n affecting work of great beauty..." Ambient 1: Music For Airports Music Brian Eno Ambient 1: Music For Airports Songs | 1. | Ambient 1: Music for Airports: 1/1 | |

This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan ...

Ambient 1: Music For Airports
$11.69 
On two quite different pieces--the closing title-track and "On Some Faraway Beach"--a different side of Eno was laid bare. These mid-tempo, mostly wordless sound-paintings construct melancholy scenes out of grandiose, manipulated sounds, and gesture toward Eno's role as the father of ambient music. Savage guitar lines, erratic synthesizer, and pounding drums (Robert Fripp, Paul Thompson, and Phil Manzanera are among the excellent personnel) provide exciting textures on a collection as beguiling as it is invigorating. With WARM JETS Eno proved he was ready to jump off the ...

Oh, good: a stage name that refers specifically to Nazi weaponry, a picture of a dead woman with blood leaking out of her mouth and nose, a photo of the bare-chested singer sporting black latex gloves and standing behind the word "filth," pictures of tanks and U boats -- and on the back, a note from singer Andy LaPlegua that says "Don't be blind; this is NOT a pro-faschist [sic] project." (It's kind of a strange note, since you'd have to be blind to miss what most reasonable observers will interpret as an awful lot of pro-fascist imagery.) So LaPlegua's message is pretty clear: The trappings and symbolism of fascism are fun and exciting, but not to be taken seriously. Not necessarily the lesson one would have taken from the events of the 20th century, but hey, ...
| | Monty Alexander Solo CD (2005)
Ambient 1: Music For Airports
$13.45
Back in the '20s and early '30s -- when stride piano reigned supreme -- it wasn't uncommon for jazz pianists to perform unaccompanied. In fact, it was the norm for James P. Johnson, who was one of the greatest stride pianists of that era and was a major influence on Fats Waller and many others. But for bop pianists, performing unaccompanied is the exception instead of the rule; so when a major bop-oriented pianist decides to record without either a bassist or a drummer, it is a special treat. And the solo piano format serves Monty Alexander pleasingly well on Solo, a collection of unaccompanied performances from 1980 and 1987. Because he doesn't have to worry about what any other musicians are doing ...
| | Chopslaughter Saffron Robe CD (2006)
Ambient 1: Music For Airports
$18.99
ABOUT THE ENSEMBLE Chopslaughter was formed in 2003 with the intention of providing a distinct, seldom-heard trio persona, taking the liberty to eliminate the traditional role of drumset in the jazz ensemble. What has come to be is a sound of unparalleled beauty, as the trio explores individual repertoire from within, as well as creative possibilities from the classical and popular repertoire. Using Mahler, Copland and Bach as inspiration for a portion of their material, the trio addresses the classical forum with care as they use melodies and chords from the composers, then contribute a unique thumbprint through improvisation and formal structure. Popular music also serves as inspiration for the group, with such diverse influences as The Who, Sigur Rós, and Andrew Lloyd Webber providing material on this release. The ensemble here again maintains the music’s spirit, while adding fresh and innovative ideas to spur the music forward.• • •ABOUT THE MUSICIANS Dan Gaynor, ...
