Brian Eno- An Ending (Ascent)
View this Thread in Original format

My god, what a tune. Brian Eno is the master of ambient but I think artists like Steve Roach and Milieu are great aswell, but nothing compares to Ascent. Any opinions? I always use this tune when i want to have Lucid Dreams.

A lot of tunes compare to An Ending, it's a truly beautiful piece but it has imo received an unproportionate amount of attention, especially since it comes from a fantastic work like Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks. You have the stars tracks Under Stars/Under Stars 2/Stars, and the country ambient tracks towards the end, you could find youself weeping after listening to Deep Blue Day or Weightless.

I haven't heard too much Eno stuff except Apollo and Ambient 1 music for airports, but there are many other drone ambient classics in my opinion but not comparable to Ascent.

++ An Ending (Ascent) was featured in Traffic & 28 Days Later sountracks. I love the whole Traffic soundtrack by Cliff Martinez.

An Ending is not drone ambient, it has a harmonic progression throughout and it is fairly melodic.

Really really good, if you haven't, check out the whole album Terraform.

they play the original at the World War II museum in New Orleans for the Hiroshima and Nagasaki exhibits. Somehow chills up the spine does not quite describe it.

Michael Dow's new version titled "Ascent" is amazing for those who haven't hear it yet. Just released in February
