Brian Eno-Thursday Afternoon

Thursday Afternoon
i can think of no other title (except possibly "on land") that has consistently provided a transcendental listening experience with every single play.spanning 61 minutes, thursday afternoon is a somewhat commited listening experience, which reveals numerous subtle shifts in tone and melody that is uniquely eno-managing to evoke emotion and feeling in a context (ambient music) that is difficult to bring those things into alot of the time.many passive listeners will find this to be aural wallpaper, but for an active listener seeking to escape into a beautiful mesh of sound, this disc is a sure winner.12 years after purchasing this cd, i still find it to be one of the most appealing things to listen to when scanning my cd collection for things to chill out to.eno followed this cd up with "neroli"- a sort of companion piece to thursday afternoon, as far as its 1-track format is concerned, but thursday afternoon is the superior disc, manging to blend the atmospheres of on land, apollo, and the pearl into one glorious 61 minute excursion.take a chance with this one-highly recommended.
