eno on ambient
here's the quote i promised from the Eno Instrumental Box Set booklet:
...the ambient picture in 1993 is confusing. Brian himself is confused.
"There's one area that I don't know much about that gets called ambient," he
confesses, "which is the Aphex Twin type area. Whenever I do hear things, I
don't particularly recognise it as what I call ambient." Of some of these
new ambient tracks, he comments, guardedly, that they "sound like what I
would do if I had just bought synthesiser. But then why not?" he adds. "I'm
sure that's what a lot of people think I do."
