People do dismiss ambient music, don't they? They call it 'easy listening,' as if to suggest that it should be hard to listen to.
Brian Eno
Image
The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.
Brian Eno
Image
In England and Europe, we have this huge music called ambient - ambient techno, ambient house, ambient hip-hop, ambient this, ambient that.
Brian Eno
Image
People who are very confident in themselves aren't hurt by criticism. They make use of it.
Brian Eno

In my normal life I'm a very unadventurous person.
Brian Eno
