On Feb 19, 1979, Brian Eno released the album "Ambient 1 (Music For Airports)". It was the first Eno album released under the label of ambient music, a genre intended to "induce calm and a space to think" while remaining "as ignorable as it is interesting". While not Eno's earliest entry in the style, it is credited with coining the term.
The album consists of four compositions created by layering tape loops of differing lengths, and was designed to be continuously looped as a sound installation, with the intent of defusing the anxious atmosphere of an airport terminal as an alternative to "canned" Muzak and easy listening styles. The album was the first of four albums released in Eno's Ambient series, which concluded with 1982's Ambient 4: On Land.
In 2004, Rolling Stone credited Music for Airports with defining the ambient genre. The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. In 2016, Pitchfork ranked it the greatest ambient album of all time.
