An Ending (ascent) - Brain Eno

I listened to four of Brian Eno's songs and I liked this one most. All of his songs have a spacious feel as if you are walking into a wide area. The music brings you in and forces you to feel a certain way. This ambient type plays an important role in movies today because it forces the audience to be in the moment. For example, in the movie Crash, instrumental music such as "An Ending (ascent)" is played throughout the movie to convey a sense of sadness, loss, and redemption. Even if you don't full understand the scene, the music tells you how you should feel.
