Was about to PSD then saw it was Eno - an old favorite -  so decided to keep listening.  When I looked at the comments, I  realized I did the  same thing  not too long ago!   Is the third time the charm?

An amazing piece of music- the entire album, as a piece, is noteworthy.

I'm a big Eno fan going all the way back to Roxy. As such I like this. Like it, don't love it.

I could list about 100 Eno tracks I'd prefer to hear and that would likely score higher than the (current) 5.9 this one has rated, but frankly I'm always stoked to hear Eno on any kind of radio, so it's a qualified thumbs up from me.

I haven't heard much of Brian Eno's music, but I sorta liked this one because of the repetition.  It's one of those songs that makes really great background noise for a writer or a painter because it doesn't draw the writer's or painter's intellect and passion away from the creative focus.  The music just cruises along, innocuous and inspiring without being invasive or particularly profound.

Well, okay, that's just my opinion. {#Sunny}

Fellow RP fans, I have to preface my comments by saying that I'm a big Brian Eno fan — I have 5 of his albums, from Ambient 1, through Tuesday Afternoon, and Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks.  He is THE foremost creator of the ambient music genre (imho.)  I loved his work (in the day) with Roxy Music, and I absolutely bow down to his co-production with Daniel Lanois of some of U2's best work (again imho.)  His production work with David Bowie & Talking Heads is also amazingly great.

But I have to say that I just gave "Fractal Zoom" a rating of 3 due to its repetitive (annoyingly so) nature, and lack of any kind of harmony (to my ears, anyway.)

Bill, keep playing more Eno tracks, but it's ok with me if another 3 1/2 years pass before this particular track sees a replay. {#Stop}
 
      I knew there had to be a reason that I don't like it.

How about something off "Ambient 4: On Land" just to get the listeners riled up?
 
Or "Here come the warm jets" or "Taking tiger mountain by strategy" from his earlier days?

I don't know if you are complaining or not, but I would rather have good playlists recycled than random crap.

Wow. 2-1/2 years since the last play.  That ain't right.

My Dad bought me this album when I was about 13... talk about over my head.

I didn't appreciate it until college.

My Dad rules.

Yes. Agreed. As near as I can tell, he was one of THE major influence in the creation of ambient music. (Along with Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream, of course.) Looking forward to hearing more.

Two giants of modern contemporary music: Ry Cooder - playing with the Stones in the 60s and Ali Farka Toure as recently as last year ... need I say more? Brian Eno - Roxy, U2, Bowie - and for being at least 20 years ahead of anyone else for ambient music This is coooool

I'm glad you like it. Glad you like it. Glad you like it. My upload. Eno's naive experimentalism didn't really gel, in my opinion, until he learned how to work sampling and sequencing computer programs. Now he sounds like hell on wheels. This is more recent than the other Eno on the playlist, and is quite lively indeed! Echoing Ali here: this one goes out to Arnie, our own fractalv!
Think of Brian Eno as the Philip Glass of the rock/alternative world!
