Oh my. You are in for a treat. Time to dig deep in those pockets and buy some physical CDs. Worth every penny/krone. Start with Apollo (the CD is cheaper than buying the mp3s). Even the remastered version is less than £5 at Amazon UK. Possibly one of the finest ambient albums ever made. You may remember a track from it was used on the Trainspotting soundtrack... http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002DKF55U

yea - "Apollo" is great

so are "Another Day on Earth" "Discreet Music" "Ambient 1: Music for Airports" "Here Come the Warm Jets" (although, be prepared - it's more like a Roxy Music album than what you'd expect)

speaking of which, buy the first two Roxy Music albums (he was in the band then), and "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts"


...and Bowie's Low/Heroes/Lodger and 1.Outisde

Eno's first four vocal albums are incredible, I recommend every one. That's Here Come the Warm Jets, Taking Tiger Mountain, Another Green World, and Before and After Science. It's an all-time great 4-album stretch and sadly Eno has not really tried to make anything like those albums since. Check them out...
