Thankfully i was young enough(so just a tabula rasa when it goes to music)to appreciate it as music and as a work of art.Definitely one of the albums that changed my preconceived ideas about "what is music" etc...
I thank Eno for that and many more when it comes to free thinking music.

For me Discreet Music is the ultimate ambient album. Listen to it when you wake up in the morning - its the sound of a new day dawning and it makes you feel good to be alive. It resonates with whatever enviroment you happen to be in at any given time.
No collection is complete without it.

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...
