Anyone getting into Eno probably already knows this, but Music for Airports is right up there with Aphex Twins Selected Ambient Works for its influence on ambient music going forward

Oh wow... you've just picked 2 of my favourite artists & albums. 🙂
- Music For Airports
- After the Heat
Music for Airports was a ground breaking release and is still a great listen
Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks is probably most like the EP you're listening too (they both have The Ascent on them).
Of the 'Ambient' releases, I've never really got into 'Music for Airports', but 'Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror' has some very pleasant piano-led tracks, and 'Ambient 4: On Land' is weirdly terrifying at times, but something I still regularly listen to.
Not music, but I enjoyed Adam Buxton's interviews with Eno:
Part 1
Part 2
I recommend Thursday Afternoon, and also The Ship
why
I like those ones a lot
Thursday afternoon, neroli.
This is the objective scientific answer, OP.
The Fripp collaborations also merit your attention.
You start with the first release, like you would for any other artist
Interesting. Have you got any other banal advice? When leaving a house in winter put your coat on outside so you feel warmer
Just for reference, in the case of Eno, this is the worst idea anyway - "Here Come The Warm Jets" is kinda... not that good.
Still a fun listen though.
