Ambient 1 (Music For Airports)

Packaged in a digipak which is then housed in a transparent plastic o-card style sleeve with barcode sticker. A reissued version without the plastic sleeve and the barcode sticker is given [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1172366]here[/url]. The track 'titles' are in fact just arbitrary 'positions' on the release itself. The titles are the 'pictures', which are drawings of what the music supposedly 'sounds like', an attempt by the artist to transcribe electronic music beyond the confines of conventional musical notation. The durations on the artwork are listed minus the silent gaps between the tracks: 1/1 - 16:30 2/1 - 8:20 1/2 - 11:30 2/2 however is completely in error (stated as 6:00) as the music actually lasts 9:38.
