What a weird coincidence. I've actually been listening to a ton of Brian Eno lately, especially Music for Airports, which is one of my favorite records of his and is often my go to writing music.
I actually even listened to Music for Airports in an airport recently, just as the sun was rising, looking out at the planes taking off, and it was perfect.
Great post! Thanks for compiling.

Of course we might be remiss not to include Music for Strings Percussion and Celeste.
Which is not to be confused with Music for An Awful Lot of Strings and Percussion.

The best "music for airports" is Chris Cutler's "Lux", 18 minutes of ambient sound recorded at an (the?) airport in Luxemburg.

Thanks for this. I love both the Eno and the Black Dog. Re: "airport" music, Ikonika's latest Aerotropolis has been a summer favorite. It's hard to link to something on the phone but I'll post one later.

I don't have much problem with copyright infringement, but for some reason, I go into hulkrage whenever I see someone monetizing someone else's music with advertisements.

The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.
There is no stopping in the red zone.
Now, here's a record I think you'll really dig. . .

Also let us not forget Danger Music for Dick Higgins, which calls for the performer to climb inside the vagina of a living whale.

Just reading the words "Music for Airports" gets the piano figure from 1:1 stuck in my head.

Music for airports? Long time back I was sitting in the San Francisco airport when my brain decided to start listening to the Muzak. It was some treacly rather slow string thing. It took a minute to realize it was the theme to Star Trek.

Around 1998-99 I heard Music for Airports 1/1 broadcast (for real! out of the music speakers and everything!) in the Atlanta airport. It accompanied the trip through a large escalator corridor; minimal and white, light filled, really beautiful. ATL will always have my respect for that.
I'm curious if anyone else has ever heard it playing in an airport, too.
