Perfection. Ambience. Lucidity. Brian Eno at his very best. The epitaph of minimalistic, ambient music. That is what this record represents. In 1978, Brian Eno put together a work that can take ahold of your mind in a way that many other records have tried to do...and failed.

This record was released at a time when music was changing. Never Mind the Bullocks was at the forefront of the music industry, and everyone was getting their punk on at the time. The beauty of Eno's record here is that while everyone was being rebellious, this record can be any number of emotions. That's the true lure of music of this nature: it can mean almost anything to anyone at any time. There will be other works on this list that have the same effect on me, and it's works like that that can really strike a chord in people.

Besides, this record basically invented the "ambient" genre, which is an incredible accomplishment in itself. It also is the best possible introduction into the genre, which is one that can unleash any number of emotions within you, which is why I find it to be one of the more powerful musical genres emotionally.
