@@Pawnee123-r1b me since around '90. I was 15. Always an experience on another lvl. Been suffering from migraines for so many years. This used to help me back in my college years. Completely forgot about this until last night. Literally was devoid of this brilliant music for over 25 years. Glad I found this. Been listening to those 8-10 hour long frequency stuff... mostly garbage that probably have some ridiculous evil subliminal messages. If you listen closely enough, you'll hear 99% of those repeat/loop every 10 mins or so. So you're really listening to the same "song" over and over, around 50 times in a single night. No way. I'll take this over those any day. Eno is the Tesla of music.
great for dogs as well, during thunderstorms or when there are loud noises outside (firecrackers on new year's eve, for example). lower the shutters, turn off the light, let them listen to a few minutes of these slow, long, suspended notes, and they will fall asleep and start to dream - perhaps of airplanes flying over fields in a thriving land of cockayne. leave the music on, close the door, wish them a happy journey.
Listening at half-speed for the past 7 hours - perfect and so slow that I can only "hear" the melody if by listening really hard. Perfect for super-calm working.
Had I the choice to have my last breaths accompanied by the magnificent sound of this album I would drift far into the unknown, unconcerned of what awaits me. Enos music has an amzing way of transporting the listener to a deep, unexplainable state of mind.
That was more or less the intention of this record: to make you less afraid of the possibility that you might die in the airplane you were about to board.
Brian Eno- creator of- and emulator of- all the music I love- thank you for this, for the Talking Heads, for U2, for DM, for your own work and for your extensive collaborations. Thank you for creating the sounds we all know by heart, and hear with our souls.
Love studying to this. It helps me focus and stay sharp. There's a perfect balance of tones and sounds that allows me to be in the moment. Really glad I've found this. Thank you
This is great for my migraines. Helps me to focus on something else other than the pain. The composition itself, the entire album, is genius. Frequencies. They are what make the world and everything we know work in peace and harmony. Listening to this I feel like I am floating on a nebulous cloud in the vast expanse of space. Knowing that everything will be alright... while watching space dust pass by, and alien crafts watch me drift on by, peacefully.
Man, what a summer i had with this as my soundscape in college.......like a dream, a lovely pillowy, billowy dream..Thank you Brian Eno.oxxo urban verber
This piece of music keeps me calm. spheric, setting impulse while listening in a meditative manner. Brian Eno composed music in times when MUZAK industry music was played at official, public places like shopping centers, stations and airports to set a counterpoint. Great work
Words can not explain how wonderfully breathtaking this album is.. It puts me in a dream of good memories also relaxes me. Puts a nice smile on my face listening to this version. ☺
Should be law this music is piped through every airport on the planet. Might bring some love and humanity to the process of herding people around in such a cold and anonymous world.
This album will always hold a special place in my heart. This was my first (and still my favorite) Eno album. This album always helped this first time father put my baby boy to sleep. I feel it’s not a coincidence that he has grown up to be a contemplative and patient young man.
You made my dream come true. I'm so tired of the insomnia music on YT (sorry to complain), then Eno came to mind. Perfect. Thank you so much. Love and light. ✨
A great idea, to 'Paul Stretch' this album out. I've been listening to it a lot, as an effective sleep aid, and just to marvel at the cathedral- like holiness of the sound.
I find this time stretched version of MFA is incredibly effective focus music. It is really useful for switching from Beta to Alpha brain frequencies. I have used it for studying, Tax returns, business plans, writing and painting. I am even currently using it to learn Spanish and it is increasing the rate at which I can retain vocabulary fairly dramatically.
This music is really soft,calm, and beautiful music. I really want to thank you. The reason why I’m thanking you for the music is because, I have so much trouble falling asleep every night, and this music really helps me a lot, thank you so much
Space gate craft has landed. Please exit doors to your left and right, mind the fluorescent Roboids, they are there to assist you in your directions for future mind travel in your next forest port. Your names are all written alphabetically according to port sockets. Once you have plugged in you will have time to adjust to space time, and life in the dome. Please watch your step as you exit on to the silver escalator. It will take five minutes until you reach one hundred floors below planet level. There you will experience a world of white light and illumination. Good night and happy mind travels.
I have heard you EXIT through an immense portal and tunnel. . . drift into Timelessness [i.e. no "future," no 5 minutes, nothing temporal. . . ] and may see bright Light [immense understatement], that is graciously kind. . . and so your Soul/mind is free [at last] IF you believe.
This is great when you have stuff like pain or negative thoughts and you need to distract yourself. I recommend the original version first and then perhaps this. Thanks for sharing it
Practice of Tai qui great benefits of this version. My students found more easy to slower down the rhythm of breathing and synchronize the body movement with it. Result: perfection. Infinite thanks to my and our good genius Brian Eno and to who slowered do so much!!!
I imagine the scene of a bustling airport. The tireless crowds mingle in every and opposite directions, each individual self-absorbed in their busy transit and ignorant of both fellow passers-by and weary idlers, of which I am one. In tranquil repose I can't help but observe the futility of it all and of even my own insignificant existence, paling in comparison to the sheer and dwarfing scope of the universe. As time slows down, the throng blurs into a hazy mass. "What's the point of it all?" I wonder to myself as I recall the numerous comparisons of the individual to the universe that inspire my current pondering. Eventually, I find myself shocked back into awareness by the intercom's jarring boarding call for my flight, so as to rouse myself to rejoin the ceaseless tide of travelers. I push the fleeting memory of my existential re-evaluation, ironically, back into the recesses of my mind, to be accessed rarely ever again in the whole of my tiny, unremarkable life... It's a strange place we live in, no? edit: I really should be doing my homework. :(
I sincerely hope that over the past two years you have managed to overcome your nihilism. Conscious awareness is a gift, there's profundity and purpose in reflecting on it's mere existence. Ever considered that it might just be convenient to tell yourself that nothing matters because if that's the case, then you don't need to feel responsible for anything? Don't throw it away.
It is not just relaxing and calming but it seems to open a door in your brain that lifts you above the normal flow..it's music like this that could work incredibly well with some mind altering substances....
Basically, for what I've been reading, Eno's mind wasn't al'right when he was stuck in that airport, back in the 70's, probably the noise & the fact the people might not care so much things like really ambient music to control the urge in this places. Master as it's own, way great job from Mr. Eno. This amazing album helps me drawing and writing, there's something smooth and peaceful in it. 👽🔥🙌🏻
terrific idea, thanks so much, i've always wanted this album to go on for longer, i regularly sleep to it and how it's been timestretched without audiably straining the songs i've no idea, massive respect for it
Are you serious? You don't think this audibly strains the songs? It stretches them to an unbelievably distorted degree to the point where they are completely unrecognizable. Instead of how they were conceived they have been flattened out to these gross functional soundscapes. If you applied this distortion to any other art form, writing, or painting, it would be unintelligible - as it most definitely is in this sonic garbage.
Do then explain to me what ambient music is to you then - I would love to know how you define it given that apparently there is 'nothing to understand about it' - what is the link between ambient music and atonality? Are you saying that Music for Airports is atonal? You sound like a cretin so please do elaborate on your ideas of ambient music and atonality - I could use a laugh. If its convincing, I promise you I'll stay away!!
oh dear - as I feared, you are a total idiot. You've paraphrased/poorly substituted words from the Wikipedia definition of ambient music so clearly you don't have any real opinion or knowledge of your own - hence your ridiculous statements about arrangements and songwriting which you seem to think I was talking about (I wasn't), not to mention your extremely misguided blanket statement about ambient music and atonality - you don't know anything about that either (instant knowledge just a Wikipedia click away though, go for it genius!) I'll keep bringing it back to music for airports, since that's what this is about. You mention melody which apparently ambient music doesn't focus on (another idiotic fallacy) the piano melody of 1/1 of music for airports and the interplay between that and the synth is the music! It's not just some spacey sound field for you to toke your spliff too, drift off, and imagine yourself as philosophical pioneer with your half-baked notions and crap spelling. It DOES have a shape, it DOES have a form - but you can't hear that because it has been stretched so far you can barely discern anything. Now that's fine for you because you are a 1-dimensional idiot who thinks that a certain type of music has only one purpose - for you to go on your magic carpet ride with your blunt and a big smug self satisfied grin on your face. For those that feel that this music should be appreciated in its original version for all its depth, interest, space, melody, sounds, beauty and not pulped into some universe-expanding whale-tooth rubbish - this renders all of that richness UNINTELLIGIBLE. I use that word again because you clearly have difficulty understanding the meanings of words as much as you do the multiple meanings and possibilities of sounds.
It has a nice sound to it. It really captures the airport vibes for me. A place where thousand and thousand strangers pass each other to perhaps never see each other again. You wonder where they are coming from and where they are going to. What will become of them. Since most probably you will never know, you can't help but think more about yourself. When you see the airplanes taking off, it can become easy to picture a scene of departure. A vision where you can see clearly what it's like to leave something behind.
Perhaps ironically, Brian Eno's methodology in the studio is to do similar to his own work. What he releases are slowed-down versions of what he created in the studio. He finds that he keeps adding more and more elements while he's creating, then, at the end of the process, he cuts the tempo back to half what it started out so that the listener can hear and appreciate all the components.
I feel like, as everyday passes, I am fading away from my own idea of reality, what it means to be me. The same routine: wake up after staying up late at night before school, go to school, be alone at school, go to class, have trouble with studying, procastonate, come home, ponder and ponder, watching films and listening to music, even reading a book, perhaps (yet I still don't follow those passions and make something of my own, I'm too lazy with a lack of motivation), then eat, go to sleep, and repeat this process for years on end. No matter how much success I face, I always see failure on the horizon, that failure being my inevitable end. I feel so insignificant, so average in the grand scheme of our world, our human race, what's the point in even trying? In all honesty, I am fed up of my lonely, socially and personally anxious and depressive existence. I feel no purpose anymore, I just want to die. Solitude, that's all I live within, that's my headspace. No one understands it.
That was me this past year. Fat and sad as shit. I decided to take up some meditation and medication (Buproprion) and I've finally been feeling "okay". Get some meds and figure it out from there, that's your best bet!
Solve problems, find contentment in solving better problems. No meaning there but we are equipped to enjoy the journey and make it more enjoyable for others.
i remember feeling this way - hell, i remember running away from home to “escape”… this. there aren’t any easy answers, just recommendations. recommendations to take up exercise, to start a dream journal, to stop trying to comprehend our existence here. trust me dude, I’m probably less than a few years older than you, so you can believe me when i say: it sucks. trying to understand why anything in this world is the way it is. why music, the arts and every other form of entertainment and human expression has seemingly took a nosedive straight into the diahhrea toilet as of the last couple decades. ive taken some points from a fellow ponderer, Alan Watts, and have started focusing on the present moment so much more. this music, as well as it fits as background noise, is also incredibly entrancing. taking a moment to immerse myself in music like this and meditate/reflect on what I’m grateful for, have become an almost daily ritual for me! point is, i know what it’s like to feel out of place in this world, and trust me, it gets better. as much as it might seem like it doesn’t, it does. i used to be bedridden, shoving away friends and family and throwing my life away, but now, a guy that calls himself “Unenthusiast”… is actually doing okay! if i can do it, you CERTAINLY can.
I am so thankful for this, I recognize myself as timeless formless consciousness through this music. Can I please have a 320kbps DL link? Would be really nice to have for later in life
Thanks for explaination Slow Motion TV; I didn't know that about this recording. I also have a Korg synthesizer and studio and as much as I am impressed with the sound, I take it all with a grain of salt - as it is not true composition but rather technology doing all the heavy lifting. The human simply manipulates the vibrations and tones. I guess that's why I prefer a good piano composer over a synthetic music composer,as the piano player invariably has more musical knowledge and savvy, annd the end result is more emotion and not so much space drifting of the mind.. But I've enjoyed & respected Eno for over 30 years. His collaborations from Robt. Fripp to the Talking Heads and beyond has been very enjoyable.
+Dan Courtney I entered the world of electronic production about five years ago, and had no theory of music in the traditional sense. Now I realise the importance of it, and am learning to read and write sheet music, among other aspects of the musical system. I think that while many electronic producers don't fully need or fully understand all aspects of traditional music theory, there are also many who do, and marry the two methods together beautifully, as I hope to in the future.
I suggest that people with a interest in Ambient music should visit SOLIPSISM's Bandcamp page and listen and buy their music. Support artists and creative people : solipsism.bandcamp.com/album/collections
I am imagining those other-worldly images taken by microscopes that scan down to the molecular and atomic level. Stretched out to 6-plus hours, this is like an audio representation of those images. At its normal speed, "Music For Airports" hooked me from the first note the first time I listened to it in 1983. The opening track, "1/1", immediately brought to mind a "moving light" wall art piece I first saw at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 1969. A grid of red lights would form various shapes and the shapes would move along the wall . I remember seeing it through the 1970s but I don't know what happened to it after various airport remodels.
I listen to this to go to sleep and can’t help but think of the tragedy of 911. The TV images of that day float by connected to the music. Hope I didn’t bum anyone out. May every God of every nation bless us.
Love listening this when down,but amazing make me feels like reality,you will loose everything,money,family,etc... Life fact Sad but this is how it is 😔
There’s one airport, believe it or not, in Oregon thats plays ENO & only ENO! Amazing huh? Since its a relatively small hub airport(no singular dimensional flights) its more obscure than realized. ‘Ouija Airport’ its one of the more spectral Airports in existence. Go check it out!! Bring a coffin.
This version is dope. I was inspired by Eno to record an ambient piece recently. “Nest” by Thommy Underhill. On all streaming services and on RUclips if you search it. Just wanted to share with other fans of minimal ambient music.
I like it even better when played with the regular version in another tab: When that ends, play another eno ambient album. ...ah shit, now I have another damn podcast series to make.
btw, what's super trippy is listening to this in an airport or in an airplane. Or preferably both. did it from JFK to Bangkok. he totally nailed the dada of ambient architecture.. which is the airport, always looking the same everywhere, peacefully bland. This might also make a decent soundtrack for Jacques Tati's PlayTime, with no sound, as well. but then again, it's two in the morning and I'm ambiently thinking...haha

I'll keep bringing it back to music for airports, since that's what this is about. You mention melody which apparently ambient music doesn't focus on (another idiotic fallacy) the piano melody of 1/1 of music for airports and the interplay between that and the synth is the music! It's not just some spacey sound field for you to toke your spliff too, drift off, and imagine yourself as philosophical pioneer with your half-baked notions and crap spelling. It DOES have a shape, it DOES have a form - but you can't hear that because it has been stretched so far you can barely discern anything. Now that's fine for you because you are a 1-dimensional idiot who thinks that a certain type of music has only one purpose - for you to go on your magic carpet ride with your blunt and a big smug self satisfied grin on your face. For those that feel that this music should be appreciated in its original version for all its depth, interest, space, melody, sounds, beauty and not pulped into some universe-expanding whale-tooth rubbish - this renders all of that richness UNINTELLIGIBLE. I use that word again because you clearly have difficulty understanding the meanings of words as much as you do the multiple meanings and possibilities of sounds.
Who's the stupid, ignorant fuck now I wonder? This is all too pathetic. I'm out.
So what's our thoughts on this piece of music?
Orpheous Stain suggested playing it with the regular version in another tab and I'M FLOATING IN A MOST PECULIAR WAY.
This is just WOW. Thank you for sharing.
It has a nice sound to it. It really captures the airport vibes for me. A place where thousand and thousand strangers pass each other to perhaps never see each other again. You wonder where they are coming from and where they are going to. What will become of them. Since most probably you will never know, you can't help but think more about yourself. When you see the airplanes taking off, it can become easy to picture a scene of departure. A vision where you can see clearly what it's like to leave something behind.
Thank you for listening!
Mi sono laureato letteralmente grazie a questo lavoro di Eno.
PERFECT!!!!!!!! thank you so much!!
This is the cure for hangovers and stress. I actually prefer this to the original version!
Perhaps ironically, Brian Eno's methodology in the studio is to do similar to his own work. What he releases are slowed-down versions of what he created in the studio. He finds that he keeps adding more and more elements while he's creating, then, at the end of the process, he cuts the tempo back to half what it started out so that the listener can hear and appreciate all the components.
no ads. thank god
I feel like, as everyday passes, I am fading away from my own idea of reality, what it means to be me.
The same routine: wake up after staying up late at night before school, go to school, be alone at school, go to class, have trouble with studying, procastonate, come home, ponder and ponder, watching films and listening to music, even reading a book, perhaps (yet I still don't follow those passions and make something of my own, I'm too lazy with a lack of motivation), then eat, go to sleep, and repeat this process for years on end. No matter how much success I face, I always see failure on the horizon, that failure being my inevitable end.
I feel so insignificant, so average in the grand scheme of our world, our human race, what's the point in even trying?
In all honesty, I am fed up of my lonely, socially and personally anxious and depressive existence. I feel no purpose anymore, I just want to die.
Solitude, that's all I live within, that's my headspace. No one understands it.
That was me this past year. Fat and sad as shit. I decided to take up some meditation and medication (Buproprion) and I've finally been feeling "okay". Get some meds and figure it out from there, that's your best bet!
Solve problems, find contentment in solving better problems. No meaning there but we are equipped to enjoy the journey and make it more enjoyable for others.

i remember feeling this way - hell, i remember running away from home to “escape”… this.
there aren’t any easy answers, just recommendations. recommendations to take up exercise, to start a dream journal, to stop trying to comprehend our existence here.
trust me dude, I’m probably less than a few years older than you, so you can believe me when i say: it sucks. trying to understand why anything in this world is the way it is. why music, the arts and every other form of entertainment and human expression has seemingly took a nosedive straight into the diahhrea toilet as of the last couple decades.
ive taken some points from a fellow ponderer, Alan Watts, and have started focusing on the present moment so much more. this music, as well as it fits as background noise, is also incredibly entrancing. taking a moment to immerse myself in music like this and meditate/reflect on what I’m grateful for, have become an almost daily ritual for me!
point is, i know what it’s like to feel out of place in this world, and trust me, it gets better. as much as it might seem like it doesn’t, it does. i used to be bedridden, shoving away friends and family and throwing my life away, but now, a guy that calls himself “Unenthusiast”… is actually doing okay!
if i can do it, you CERTAINLY can.
I am so thankful for this, I recognize myself as timeless formless consciousness through this music. Can I please have a 320kbps DL link? Would be really nice to have for later in life
Thanks for explaination Slow Motion TV; I didn't know that about this recording. I also have a Korg synthesizer and studio and as much as I am impressed with the sound, I take it all with a grain of salt - as it is not true composition but rather technology doing all the heavy lifting. The human simply manipulates the vibrations and tones. I guess that's why I prefer a good piano composer over a synthetic music composer,as the piano player invariably has more musical knowledge and savvy, annd the end result is more emotion and not so much space drifting of the mind.. But I've enjoyed & respected Eno for over 30 years. His collaborations from Robt. Fripp to the Talking Heads and beyond has been very enjoyable.
+Dan Courtney I entered the world of electronic production about five years ago, and had no theory of music in the traditional sense. Now I realise the importance of it, and am learning to read and write sheet music, among other aspects of the musical system.
I think that while many electronic producers don't fully need or fully understand all aspects of traditional music theory, there are also many who do, and marry the two methods together beautifully, as I hope to in the future.
+solipsismmusic So, does the fact it was easy to produce detract from the overall listening experience?
I suggest that people with a interest in Ambient music should visit SOLIPSISM's Bandcamp page and listen and buy their music. Support artists and creative people : solipsism.bandcamp.com/album/collections
I am imagining those other-worldly images taken by microscopes that scan down to the molecular and atomic level. Stretched out to 6-plus hours, this is like an audio representation of those images. At its normal speed, "Music For Airports" hooked me from the first note the first time I listened to it in 1983. The opening track, "1/1", immediately brought to mind a "moving light" wall art piece I first saw at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in 1969. A grid of red lights would form various shapes and the shapes would move along the wall . I remember seeing it through the 1970s but I don't know what happened to it after various airport remodels.
Thank you for those thoughts and reflections!
When I look at the world in general like third person I feel happy, sad, pathetic..etc (This is perfect background music) This life is just.....
nice
I listen to this to go to sleep and can’t help but think of the tragedy of 911. The TV images of that day float by connected to the music.
Hope I didn’t bum anyone out.
May every God of every nation bless us.
I opened RUclips to listen to the original - this is a paradigm shift.

James Quinlan, very well put!
Thank you for creating a new way to appreciate this album!
Thank you for listening!
I was born to this music
So amazing...
Really awesome man. Thanks a lot!!
This is the place where Angels live!
Love listening this when down,but amazing make me feels like reality,you will loose everything,money,family,etc...
Life fact
Sad but this is how it is 😔
this reminds me how lit was at airports 2 years ago..
thats great! i really like it! thx for uploading man! cheers from austria!
finally.. the album lasts longer than the bong hit lol
Thanks for this.In a way it gives a more profound rendition.
I plan on recording this inside a large cistern.
It would be so bad ass to go to an airport that actually played this!
it would be relaxing
the original was , in the u.s. i think. Plus a perfect live interpretation by ' Bang on a Can ' at Stanstead airport.
There’s one airport, believe it or not, in Oregon thats plays ENO & only ENO! Amazing huh? Since its a relatively small hub airport(no singular dimensional flights) its more obscure than realized. ‘Ouija Airport’ its one of the more spectral Airports in existence. Go check it out!! Bring a coffin.
It got played for months and months at Chicago airport back then
I listened to this at the old Tempelhof airport in Berlin many years ago.
fabulous this is amazing ♥ thanks
Great !
Pleasantly relaxing.
This version is dope. I was inspired by Eno to record an ambient piece recently. “Nest” by Thommy Underhill. On all streaming services and on RUclips if you search it. Just wanted to share with other fans of minimal ambient music.
When I die, I hope I hear something like this. I do now.
Thanks for sharing this! this is amazing!
Perfect all-around meditation music....
The portal is revealed starting at 27:13. The tracks controlled by the sequencers really line up some interesting moods. Thankful for Eno👌
THANK YOU
I like it even better when played with the regular version in another tab:
When that ends, play another eno ambient album.
...ah shit, now I have another damn podcast series to make.
oh wow. I'm doing what you suggested. ummmmmmmmmmmm.
incredible suggestion ty this is amazing. my thoughts are ENDLESS
I'm doing too, through RUclips. Jeez. Amazing......
so good!
Sounds fantastic. The piano doesn't sound out of tune as it does on the original version!
I loved this album at normal speed, I think I like it more like this.
This was playing at the Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco in 1982. It was good blotter, and I ended up spending the whole day there.
sounds like a start of a great story
Maybe a million and a half more “views” since this was posted and I first listened?
Stretch it out. Whatever it takes. What’s inside matters more.
Fantastic!! :)
my 2nd favourite album of all time
btw, what's super trippy is listening to this in an airport or in an airplane. Or preferably both. did it from JFK to Bangkok. he totally nailed the dada of ambient architecture.. which is the airport, always looking the same everywhere, peacefully bland. This might also make a decent soundtrack for Jacques Tati's PlayTime, with no sound, as well. but then again, it's two in the morning and I'm ambiently thinking...haha
Never done this but will do when I'm going home. (student in Ireland from scotland
