1LP Vinyl – ENOLP6

As aesthetic white noise, Ambient 1 Music for Airports makes for even more dissipated listening than last year’s similarly unfocused Music for Films. Film scores, accompanying the unraveling of a screenplay, still relate to some sort of time frame, but the new material — having already abandoned conventional notions of melody, harmony, rhythm and personality — strives to dispense with even that. As environmental sound, it works quite well, better than the earlier Discreet Music, which it superficially resembles.
