It’s pretty uncharacteristic for me to bother leaving little thank you notes around the internet, but I make an exception here.

As a work-from-homer, I’ve gradually developed not just a tolerance of, but excitement about, ambient music. Much as I love Radio 4 and the Beeb in general, they are way too provocative and intrusive for the hassled head of 21st century digital man trying to do an honest day’s work.

This list is great. I’d already discovered Brian Eno’s ‘Music for Airports’, and it had become a favourite for periods of required concentration. Your list has opened a gate at the far end of that particular Eno field, and I’m feeling even more liberated.

Also, as along-time folkie, I’m grateful for the pointer towards the extraordinary “Imagined Village” project, which has entertained me all day. Far from ambient, admittedly: I wanted to sit back, stare out over the next door neighbour’s garden, and listen to everything. But for all that, I’ll frequently revisit.

Thanks

Andy
