Got the other 2. Love them. Review: Superb collection - If you've never heard Ambient music before or are just curious this album is well worth a listen. If you are already an ambient fan and don't have this album then you're missing out ! It has a diverse collection of pieces from the sublime 'Evening Star' to what must surely be the very definition of Ambient, Brian Eno's An Ending (Ascent) written about the Apollo moon landings. Without wishing to result to cliches it's much like a kaleidoscope of sound, constantly changing but always beautiful and often shifting in mood. I guess it's the type of music which really does paint pictures in your head. I've had this album since it came out in 1993 and still play it today such is its ability to hold my attention. In fact I wore out the first CD (numerous long car drives resulted in too many scratches on the surface of the CD) so I've now got another copy. To not have this in my collection would be unthinkable. ## Images ![Ambient: A Brief History Of Ambient - 152 Minutes, 33 Seconds - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51uowOr-2PL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This series is great *by S***A on 9 September 2024* Lovely ambient.

For me (and I'm no expert) the term Ambient is associated with people like Brian Eno and Harold Budd, and conjures up notions of interesting experimental sounds, space, quiet, simple keyboard motifs over ethereal sounds. You get the picture. For me Ambient does not include(but evidently now should) bass, drums, hypnotic rhythms, voice etc. Again, you get the picture. There is a track on here by Fripp and Eno called "Evening Star" that is a favourite of mine, but I'm pretty sure the term Ambient wasn't on anyone's lips when it was (favourably) reviewed on its release in the 70s. There are contributions by other artists whose work I'm also sure pre-dates the word Ambient such as Tangerine Dream, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (yes, really), Hawkwind, Gong and Faust. The fact that Ambient is now deemed a wider genre is no bad thing. In fact it's a good thing. I'm sure once upon a time there were purists who claimed that folk music had to be finger in the ear serious social comment stuff, and blues could only be played by a (preferably) blind and (preferably)religiously minded African American (again, preferably) male. Both folk and the blues are big enough to have widened their repertoire, and good for Ambient to have done the same. So, there is lots of atmospheric stuff here, but there is also stuff driven along hypnotically. I find it all interesting and will be investigating further the work of some of the contributors. Price as new is pretty expensive, but well worth a secondhand punt.
