Been listening to Brian Eno. He is one of the founders of Ambient music. I have good collection on my HD's, and he is well represented on Apple Music. Brian also has a several app's Reflection $39.99 which is a continuous playing version of his wonderful album by the same name, there is Trope $3.99, and finally Bloom also $3.99. Brian Eno's music was once called Psychoacoustic when listening to this genre you have to think in terms of a tonal progression that has been in existence for an eternity, it does not start nor does it end rather it arrives and departs your listening location. Listening is not really a proper term either you don't really listen it is just there. There is no description that one can use to describe this sort of music you just have to listen. I am sure that Brian Eno has experimented with 5.1 surround sets but I have never seen a release of any and this type of music would would really suck you in more then is does now in a surround sound.
I have alway got a kick when I introduce people to Brian Eno and other Psychoacoustic composers like Aeoliah, Iasos, Michael Stearns, and Steve Roach.
They start listening;
"This is weird".............."weird"..............................."hmmm"...........................gone.
An interesting illustration of the going, going, gone effects of this sort of music is what it does to very young babies. back about 1980 or so a college friend of mine had a new son. He was a night time horror. My friend was sleeping in class, and his wife was at her wits end. I sent the cassettes with Wendy (then Walter) Carlos' Sonic Seasonings(1972) home. They softly played this album and the boy quieted down and slept well during the night. I was a hero and I had another convert to New Age music.
