Interesting bit there about music for facing mortality. An ambient classic from that same era is Steve Roach “Structures from Silence”. He had an NDE and that music is what he heard during.

Near-death experience. For those (like me) unfamiliar with the acronym.

One great musician to listen to during late coding sessions.

Listened to a bit of it and it seems like a decent analogue to East Forest's Music For Mushrooms which is 5 hours.

Brian Eno - Alternative 3

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H9AldyuIh5A

I heard this music off on for decades, but couldn’t place it. I doubled down and only having a memory of it I was certain it was by Brian Eno.

It took me a while to stumble upon it, it was music written for an ITV Science programme’s April Fool’s episode; which due to strike action was delayed until July.

This comes up repeatedly with regards to conspiracy theories, I assume not by people who think the Moon landings are a hoax, that would be insane. Erm wait a minute…

Imagine what this would sound like for Another Green World

Not really necessary. So little happens in the original (in a good way)
