Tim Booth recommended Discreet Music by Brian Eno in Music (curated)

"I could have chosen a number of his ambient records, from Apollo – Atmosphere & Soundtracks or Ambient 1 (Music For Airports) to Discreet Music. He, along with maybe one or two others, invented ambient music, which is now the background to a lot of different music, but back then was a revolution. Eno was slagged by the press at every turn. I remember a quote in the NME saying his music was like ""watching paint dry"". If something got that bad a review, I had to check it out and Brian got the worst reviews for a number of years. Discreet Music was the record that I listened to when it came out and I am still listening to it now. Strangely enough, I find it the most incredible music to make love to, because its stillness strips you down to a nakedness that, for me, lovemaking always demands. That's opposed to drunken lovemaking, which is a completely different thing and only part of what is on offer. Discreet Music puts me in the mood to really find out who I am and to be vulnerable with another person. Therefore, it has become one of my favourite lovemaking albums, and I don't think many people could say that."

Rolling Stone's 429th greatest album of all time
Brian Eno's (real name Brian E-number) first foray into ambient music. Totally not my cup of tea. It basically sounds like incidental film music that was never picked up by a film studio so were packaged up as an album. A bit like the reduced section of the supermarket, or Bombay mix.

If you like the weird stuff...
A truly unique meditation app with an unusual concept; harnessing the energy bouncing around the universe through sound and focus. Very new-age (my partner laughed at it, and that's ok), but helps me to calm down and consider positive potential.

Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) shared own list

Oct 19, 2017
"Minimalist music" has its own largely rigid definition in modern classical music (a genre that Steve Reich, Philip Glass and La Monte Young have contributed to), but Cool Hunting has highlighted how contemporary artists are taking these compositional techniques and applying them in their own music across all genres—be it ambient, pop, folk or electronic.

What do you make of these reductionist albums?
