I just bought a cd by Brian Eno -- Ambient #1, Music for Airports. It's fucking beautiful, and if you like the more ambient Aphex material, then ENo is the way to go....
Wasn't Eno one of Aphex's influences?
anyways, he also used pics (somewhat) as the titles of his tracks on his cd --- and the music is quite minimalistic -- but achingly beautiful.

When SAWII was released, a lot of people were saying that it was obviously heavily influenced by Eno, but RDJ later claimed that he hadn't heard any Eno until after the album was released.

Ambient 4 is second best (after Ambient 1) in my opinion.

Get Plateaux also, damnit! Hrm, just checked, looks like Amazon doesn't carry it. Maybe it's not buyable anymore.
I have it on vinyl, got it in a used record store a long time ago, maybe I should MP3 it and post it somewhere.
I also have My Life In the Bush Of Ghosts that he did with David Byrne. Almost as good.
Would anyone be interested in Plateaux?

organ grinder,
all right, here is what I think you should pick up first 1)ambient 4 onland 2)apollo 3)music for films these are the first three plus music for airports that I heard first. All are records you can treasure for life.
if you like what you hear then get
the pearl(4) by eno and harold budd as well as thursday afternoon(5),these are great records to sleep to, however I don't mean to imply that they are boring.
eno's discreet music(6) is also really interesting. the rest of them I really enjoy are these
cluster and eno ambient 3 day of radiance(produced by eno) ambient 2 plateaux of mirror with harold budd
after the heat (eno, moebius,roedelius)
begegnungen (same as above only with Plank)
shutov assembly as someone mentioned earlier is really good, somewhat spooky though.
Neroli is good. very little change, good to study to
hybrid by michael brook and eno, lanois is worth picking up.
check out another green world if you want to hear what eno's vocals sound like. it's a good mix between his pop stuff and his ambient works.
as far as a few other artists to try
pete namlook, bill laswell, and tetsu inoue are really interesting. be warned though, they have alot of stuff much of it is out of print goes for a pretty penny on ebay.
hope this helps

Eno's "prophecy theme" for the Dune soundtrak is also worth a listen.

i'm not sure that eno invented the term 'ambient music'. erik satie composed (in 1919 i guess) a kind of first ambient pieces which he called 'musique d'ameublement' - ambient music.

it's funny, satie intended the pieces as 'aural wallpaper'. at the concert of the the pieces he thought that the audience would stand up from their seats and talk - the people should not conciously listen to the music, but they did. They sat in their seats as in any other concert and satie was furious. weird type, le monsieur sadi. but he did not invent the term muzak, i guess. i don't know who invented the term.

I highly reccomend "Another Green World" and "Before and After Science" for a good balance between Eno's ambient and rock-oriented sides. As for his purely ambient releases, I reccomend "Music For Films" (my personal favorite) and Ambient 1 and 4.

Eno claimed to have invented the term Ambient Music in the sleeve notes of one of his LP's - I forget which one, and can't be bothered to look!
Anyway, I believe him 'cos he's a clever bloke!!

Anyone else notice how startling close #4 on Music For Airports is to Cylob's Cylobian Sunset. Though, I favor Cylob's track to it, it's still quite good.
