Back in 2002 I, on the cusp of a 2 week holiday in Cornwall, I was introduced to Brian Eno. A fan of ambient music up until this point, Eno was simply in a league of his own, as I soon discovered.
I played this album whilst walking around the coast and along the beach, and the sound was powerful. Not because of Eno's use of the instruments and production, but the space he leaves for you to fill in. And its that, that makes Eno the true Ambient master, and a genre which he has pretty much defined.
I could write pages on this album, and his other ambient work, but its an album for you to take, and make your own.
Simply: Its Beautiful, Its Therapeutic, And you can own it.

I was pretentious enough as a teenager to make this the soundtrack to my alienation. I listened to it on headphones on lunchbreaks.
Years later, it stands up as an album of incredible breadth and emotion, from the heartbreaking descents of Sparrowfall to the paranoid isolation of M386 and A Measured Room.
There is nothing on Music For Films that isn't fully formed and worthy of inclusion. Among Eno's masterpieces, this is perhaps the most neglected and best realised.

If you have heard of 'ambient' music and are wondering about buying an album, look no further. relaxing, easily listenable and along with Music For Films II a great collection of pieces. Amateur or professional film directors look no further for some decent background music. To paraphrase a well known advert, 'it does what it says on the cover'. Turn on, tune in, drop out (for forty odd minutes anyway!).

Acoustic short stories
I wouldn't recommend this as an introduction to Brian Eno's work. This is his sixth album I've purchased, which on reflection is probably about the right stage. Read more

very ambient laid back mood/soundscape music
I think when Eno made the bits n pieces for this album, he was thinking more of those empty parts of certain artistic films that show short shots of landscapes and settings -... Read more

The one that missed the mark
I have always been interested in Brian Eno's work but, until recently, was never brave enough to buy anything. I bought this, Apoloo and Ambient 4: On Land. Read more

It's too easy to compute your future
Ah, music for films. There was a time in the eighties when the music press - in the absence of anything intelligent to say about a piece of instrumental music - used to go "it's... Read more

interlude rather thanambience
More interlude than full ambiance, The pieces are shorter and more instrument based but still with the hypnotic feel of the ambient series. Read more

Haunting melodies create a soothing ambience.
These 18 brief tracks seem to merge seamlessly with one another, gradually creating an atmosphere that is at once melancholy and soothing. Read more
