Ambient music was unusual for me, but at the same time I also enjoyed it. When we were listening to some ambient music, it reminded me that on my first cell phone I had a ring tone called ambient. It was very similar to what we listened to. I've always thought this music was kind of calming, but after hearing some different examples, I can see that is not always the case. Whereas it does have a typically slow, constant sound, it can definitely keep your attention. I thought it was interesting how Eno used sounds from the outside world in his ambient compositions, and turned them into music. I think that was very creative, and if he didn't point it out I wouldn't have known it wasn't something from his sound board. Ambient music is definitely different, and probably something I wouldn't listen to all the time, but perhaps once in a while to switch things up.
