Has anyone actually heard Eno at the airport? What is it like? Does it actually calm you?

I was hoping to see discussion of this - to my knowledge it was sold to a few airports who removed it after it was poorly received: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/twentieth-century-mu...

Personally 1/1 has been absolutely sublime for me as a tool for meditation, but I don't know that I could imagine it in an airport.

  • Yeah, 1/1 is one song I always keep downloaded to my phone for this reason!

    Thanks for that article, love to read about well intended design being poorly received.

    • Enjoy; I especially liked learning of the 'rebuttal' album that the Black Dog released lol

No, but I’ve heard Aphex Twin in an aquarium once. Bristol (UK) for anyone interested, which fits.

  • Was it in that kind of touristy area filled with children? I didn’t think to go in.

    Is this a regular thing?!
