A conversation with my brother about a specific musical genre, "ambient". We discuss Brian Eno's inspiration and approach to his first ambient albums, talk about the genre's origins in French 19th century classical music, and describe ambient trance music from the 80s and 90s including artists like Aphex Twin, KLF, The Orb and The Irresistible Force. Enter the ambient zone on LEP. 👉 Get James' new ambient EP "Ambient Mode" on BandCamp https://jimthompson.bandcamp.com/album/ambient-mode Some musical samples had to be removed from this version because they were blocked by YouTube. 👉 To hear the full unedited version, and to find a track-list of the music we talked about go here https://wp.me/p4IuUx-sKj
