Ambient 1: Music for Airports
from: Astralwerks
: essential recording:Eno's theory of the 'discreet music' he called ambient was far from the modern chill-out room: the idea was that it should function at very low volumes, unobtrusively coloring the atmosphere of a room.

CBS. 2004. essential recording:An album even the technophobic couldn't ignore, The Fat of the Land made Prodigy one of the first U.K. rave acts to infiltrate pop culture. Hard-core hip-hop-derived breakbeats, layers of unabashed (but creative) sampling, and meaningless shouted lyrics struck a chord beyond the electronic-music community. The inclusion of 'Firestarter' and 'Breathe' (both previously released hit singles) certainly aided the disc's widespread ...
