  LOVE LOVE LOVE this CD! November 8, 2008
The way that I can best describe this musical recording is to say that Brian Eno subtly shifts you into a 'musical hologram' if you will; a wall of sound surrounds and emcompasses you, and the music becomes part of your experience.
It ia a CD I have played at least once weekly since the day of it's release, some time back in the mid 80's. GREAT meditation music!
My favorite Eno album so far August 13, 2008
I have several Eno albums so far, and several Budd albums so far, probably about 8 or 9 albums between the two, and this could easily be my favorite one of them all. I haven't heard every single album by Eno yet but of the four or five that i have heard and own, this is my favorite. This is a one song, one hour album, that is nothing but just very pleasant and very soothing, easy going ambient music, performed by mostly acoustic piano and some synth in the background. Five stars.
Excellent June 20, 2008
I bought this after listening to a sample on Amazon and was not disappointed. I think that it is even better than Discreet Music or Music for Airports, although those are also worth having. This CD is a good investment if you want something to relax to. It is great for reading or just destressing.

This is liquid audio. This is Eno at his best. It is the gold standard of ambient-long form.
What at first appears to be repetition is constantly changing, morphing, shifting until any recognizable musical signposts are gone and that's when you get this piece. I have frequently referred to is as "liquid Valium."
For about three months, it never left the car CD player.
Yet another "best ambient album I've ever heard" from Eno November 9, 2007
It's embarrassing. It seems like every time I get a Brian Eno ambient CD and listen to it for a while, I become absolutely convinced that it's the single best ambient album I've ever heard. This has happened four times so far: with Ambient 2, Ambient 4, Neroli and now Thursday Afternoon. But I have to say that now I really, _really_ believe that Thursday Afternoon is the best ambient album I've ever heard. It's so soft and ethereal it's like it isn't even there, and yet as it plays you find yourself unwinding and relaxing into a better state of consciousness. I don't know where Eno gets his ambient mojo, but it's powerful stuff. So again: this is definitely the _best_ ambient album I've ever heard... until the next Eno album.
