        Fans of this album might be interested to know that Eno's DVD "14 video paintings" has as it's soundtrack an alternate version of "Thursday Afternoon" that's noticeably different, it's 20 minutes longer and has a slightly broader, richer sound palette.

        The DVD also had as another 47 minute track on it which is compiled from the Ambient 1-4 CDs.

          Is it wrong if, despite this having been written specifically for CD media (that many of y'all have pointed out) that I still would love to have this on LP? As long as it's not a four 10" box set haha.

            Get this shit on wax already Bri’Guy, The sceno-need-the-Eno.
            Though to be fair this came out just as everyone assumed it would from that point beard always or forever be on compact disc which it was, for a while at least, but look at us now. We all just wish it had an initial release so we could have a first pressing from the year it was released and not a reissue/pressing, but Of course we’d still be quite happily satisfied either way!

            This is one of the best ambient pieces of all time, it can be so many different things on so many different listenings for me, whether I’m meditating or tripping down memory lane (~);} or just having it on the background during a serene drive or evening or outing or what have you. So yeah, I would agree that this deserves a vinyl release ASAP.

                  My favorite tracks are the first and the last one. Nothing compares or is similar to this masterpiece, except Brian Eno himself. Even with all the money of this world, I doubt Mr. Eno could recreate an universe of sounds like 'Thursday Afternoon' today. Thanks Brian.

                    this music will stun you in all its stillness. the soft ring of each key stroke will gently tap your mind before you zone out ensuring you're still listening. this music is a soundtrack to a lazy daydream on a thursday afternoon.

                      Possibly, one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. From the genius mind of Brian Eno evolves a random computer driven soundscape which evokes calm and serenity.
