Had this on a tape from Our Price in 1989. Great find!

❤

This is not on Spotify 😔

Благодарю

Get Well,we see us,🌄

This song is mesmerizing, but then, "And Then So Clear" is even more incredible... with Eno's vocals artificially raised one octave, it sounds so intimate and fragile, like a whisper of hope during one's darkest moment in life... it moved me to tears right on the first listen.

A Typical music for the OMD

This is my hymn. I am in a mental hospital after having been in an abusive and destructive relationship for fucking 8 years. And finally I have this chance to get back to myself. Who I really am. With this beautiful song, I feel so sure and connected to myself, my mom showed his music for the first time when I was 16 and I remember listening to particularly this song again and again feeling that this is the only truth. I am fucking so thankful to Brian beautiful Eno for this song, jeez, it can’t be put in words. what a beautiful soul he is. This is pure light. I send a lot of support to anyone who has been through such a hell and a warning with pure care and love - please, always listen to yourself.

Fantastic song. Sublime. Genius Eno!! ❤

I Simply love BE

This piece was selected on my bedside DVD player....nice, gentle wake-up music.

One of my favourite tralck uf al tyme.

why can't I find this song within his normal discography on KZbin music?

May I recommend kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWinnmCkmpKcibs It is a documentary about two Ambient albums that Eno and Budd produced, combining the music with imagery and interviews with Budd and Eno. The documentary itself can be used as an ambient backdrop 😊

Coś cudownego!!

this n' that... 🦆

So good! Why isn't this song in Spotify? :(

Breathtaking.

Richard Stark of Chrome Hearts brought me here some months ago. what a great song.

Tengo 15 años escuchando esta canción, totalmente emotiva

This song

I've always really enjoyed ADoE, not sure why it isn't on Spotify with the rest of his stuff. Maybe there's some kind of rights issue

Magnifique création. Tout s'emboîte et coule naturellement

Masterpìece.

As far as I'm concerned this is the most beautiful piece of music recorded. My dad was a big Brian Eno fan. He got into ambient music in the last years of his life, as music to research and commute to (a lot of medieval church music and nordic chill jazz too). My dad would regularly show me lists from the Brian Eno twitter account - or the 'Brian Eno news' account, which my dad wasn't aware wasn't actually run by Brian Eno - on Brian Eno's recommended prog rock, krautrock, japanese ambient albums, etc So when my dad was actively dying in the last stages of cancer, his mind mostly lost, the choice of end-of-life music to help him along the way felt obvious. I also played some Arvo Part, some Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Gavin Bryars' stunning "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me", but mostly I just put Ambient 1 and Ambient 2 on loop (Brian Eno remains my most played artist of the year on apple music, 7 months after my dad's passing, on account of the day and a half of end-of-life music I played him). This opener of Ambient 2 reminds me the most of those last days. I remember faintly hearing those piano keys from behind the door of the dying-room; and in the room itself, the music combined with my dad's rhythmic gasping breaths and the occasional mechanical noises coming from bed, it was a very peculiar atmosphere. The curtains in the room were very thick and the room very warm, a lot of the heat from my dad (I managed to get a kiss in on his cheek a few hours before he passed, and he was very warm). I cannot say whether he was in any way conscious of the music, but I have a strong memory of sitting at the end of his bed and imagining what this particular song might trigger in his mind. I imagined that he would see himself floating down a black river in a black starry landscape. I went to bed in the room above his knowing he would die that night, and came downstairs after a short few hours of sleep to find that he was dead in a very silent and cold room. Seeing a dead body does not have to be a traumatic experience. Besides the tender and sad final day or two of his life, this song also brings back other memories associated with him: two before his death, two after. I remember taking him to hospital for further tests, my dad convincing the nurses to let me wait for him inside the hospital despite COVID regulations, on account of how much it was raining outside; and then waiting on a chair in an empty, white and silent corridor for about an hour, staring at a grate above me. I remember turning off Pasolini's "Canterbury Tales" halfway through watching with my dad, as he was too exhausted to continue. Letting him hobble off into his bed, and then sitting in front of the silent television for a few minutes with the knowledge that that would be the final film I would ever watch with my dad. I remember getting up very early the morning after he died and quietly melting dozens of ice lollies - the only thing he could eat in the last couple of weeks - in the kitchen sink. And I remember waiting for a silent few seconds before pushing the button to cremate his body. So for me, quiet rooms and moments are tied to this song. I haven't grieved much since my dad's passing, and in fact, I felt a great sense of meaning, understanding, and oneness with death in the two weeks following it, a feeling I have since lost and forgotten how to return to. Writing this may be one way of grieving, even if it comes a little late. I have been meaning to write about how I associate this song with my dad's death many times since it occurred, but never got around to it until today, 7 months after the event.

This was put on KZbin 14 years ago I guess. I don't know how long this video has been around but it must have been longer than that because it was this video that inspired me to pursue Eno's collaborations

THIS is Excellent !

I don’t mind a little of THIS and I don’t mind a little bit of THAT but when it comes to THIS fuck THAT !

just like ms honey

Same chords of another day

This entire album touches my soul in places I thought were closed forever.

Nice video!

This thisness

why can't i find this song or album anywhere for purchase? It's not on Spotify, itunes, or amazon,

so music!

Eno recorded and mixed most of the album on a Mac, using Logic, over a period of four years. He also engineered it himself, "because otherwise I would have had to spend six years in a commercial studio and pay staff, and that would have become too expensive". "Bottomliners" and "Under" were first worked on about six years previously, on a DA88, the latter songs' drumming being supplied by Willie Green. On the former, and on the ballad "And Then So Clear" he pitch-shifted his voice up an octave, using the gender-changing function on a Digitech Pro Vocalist creating a vocoder-like effect. His studio features a selection of hardware including a Lexicon Jam Man loop sampler and an Eventide H3000 Harmonizer. The album is actually built around the "And Then So Clear" song. He says "... In one day, actually, I pretty much finished it ... I liked it so much, and I thought, how I am going release this song, and I thought, I have to write some others." On the title track he repeatedly cut up the main phrase, so that "the listener had little windows on it." Similar "cut-up" methodologies were used for the lyrics of "This," in that he used his computer to generate some of the words.~~~

The final track on the album, "Bone Bomb", was inspired by a newspaper story about a Palestinian girl who becomes a suicide bomber. The title refers to a point made by an Israeli doctor that when a suicide bomber detonates, the bomber's bones become shrapnel, adding to the destruction. Just thought I'd "toss" that in to cheer everyone up. lol ...

Indeed an adequately creditable musical exposition of quidity.
