Review title: Music for Synesthetes
Product review: Along with "Ambient 4: On Land" and "The Pearl", this aural sculpture is the greatest expression of Eno's ambient ethic. There must be at least 20 separate looped tracks going on--but you wouldn't know it initially, so calm is the surface. Over 61 minutes, certain aspects of the "landscape" gradually get emphasized as others fade, only to return in altered form. The wide space allows you to "listen vertically," as Eno says--listen to the timbre (harmonic profiles) of the sounds, their sequential progression not necessarily being the content of the piece. It's interesting how one has to revert to visual metaphors to attempt to describe this music--it truly warrants it. Speaking of that, the video version (which was the original format) is actually about a half-hour longer, and is an even more stripped-down re-mix; for instance, the shimmering C major chord heard throughout begins the video at a louder volume, alone for several minutes, etc.
