On Eno

At first, when I heard Brian Eno's Music for Airports, I wasn't very interested in his music. After investigating some of his other tracks, I now have him added to a few of my playlists in Spotify. His song The Big Ship is by far my favorite. The percussive samples in the background keep the song from getting too slow, or stale while the strings and vibrato-y wind instruments gather and push the song up and forward. It sounded great through my monitors compared to the speakers on my laptop. My only complaint is that it ends too quickly. I feel as if there should be some sort of climax to the song and instead there's more of a soft drop off, which is more relaxed and pleasant.
