Look, let me put this in a perspective you can understand.

Imagine that homosexuals have to bear being lumped with the flaming faggots who seek up aids up their asshole all the time. Imagine if everytime people talked about their sexuality, gay men are forced to talk about and discuss bug chasing when some of them would like to talk about it in a serious manner. Or if you're one of those flaming faggots types (high chance considering you like brian eno) imagine if whenever people talked about your kind you were also lumped with pedophiles, necrophiles and all assorted degenerate freaks.

That's how i feel like whenever brian eno comes up in an ambient discussion.

The clue is in the name. You're meant to put it on when you go to sleep and hopefully be woken up at the very end. Rich used to sleep concerts back in the day, then fucking Max Richter came along, stole the idea and took all the credit because he has a bigger following. Fuck Max Richter and his fans.
