Review by rachelohm Sep 21, 2003
I bought the LP in 88 because of the title and the cover. I never really intended to listen to it although the liner notes were intruiging; listening to it at the threshold of hearing, etc. I had one of those days when I couldn't find any music to listen to, even though I had over 1,000 LP's, so I put on Discreet Music and it was like a flash of lightning. To me it's the pinnacle of Brian Eno's work. It's almost as if everything after Discreet Music was an attempt to get back to it without copying himself. He created and destoyed the genre in one day with one recording. I enjoy the other ambient albums but they never achieve the sonorities of Discreet Music. I'm not sure if he called it Discreet Music because he had not thought of the term 'ambient music'? Maybe. Side two is typical of Eno's tendency towards 'conceptual' pieces that look good on paper but...
