## Appears on

### [An Ending (Ascent)](https://waxonia.com/track/brian-eno--an-ending-ascent/)

*1983 · Editions EG · No. 1 in [Ambient](https://waxonia.com/genre/ambient/)*

Four chords, an enormous amount of room around them, and more emotional weight than most symphonies manage. It has soundtracked moon landings and funerals alike, and earns both.

*1983 · Editions EG · Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — A Way In](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-a-way-in/)*

Four chords and an enormous amount of room around them. The best argument that ambient music is composition rather than absence, and the easiest one to hear on first listen.

*1983 · Editions EG · Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-the-hundred/)*

Four minutes that have been used to sell everything and still cannot be cheapened. The purest demonstration that music can be a place rather than an event.
