0-15 minutes, interesting, 15-30 mins kind of boring, 30-45 mins okay this is pretty cool 45-1 hour, okay this hum and acceptance of reality and the emptiness of existence and time is bringing me to tears

This ambient album is what the earth would sound like if it was able to subdue its denizens with infinite knowledge and understanding. Each note here has been saturated in character and finesse to the point where evocation is undeniable, and each listening experience is unique. Every listen however does reveal an odd paradox: when listening to the album, a morose feeling is exuded, yet an uplifting quality is produced. Perhaps it is the fact that one can feel such sadness that makes them feel this way? Whatever is the case, it is phenomenal knowing that this minimalist collection of songs is able to produce such an effect. Though very lengthy, Basinski shows his genius with tasteful subtlely. Oftentimes utilizing bare-bones piano notes and cello arrangements, his songs are extremely lengthy, relaxing, and enjoyable. With each press of a key, a reverberating sound is sent throughout the air, oftentimes repeating its call to those who are lucky enough to hear it, and dying as it does so. Yet, I highly doubt that this album will die anytime soon, as it is the essence of life, originality, and music.

dull, boring ambient music that loops for over an hour + 9/11. 10/10 what a masterpiece

Turn off the lights, put in your headphones, and simply experience this project.

The only way to get the most out of this album is to watch a 9/11 documentary (102 Minutes That Changed America in my case) with the album in the background. Other than that, you got a heavily repetitive ambient record that's all implicit meaning but no substance. I hardly take the "too deep for me" cop-out when placing value to a record, but perhaps I'm too self-aware to fall for this one. It's one of those "cool concept, poor execution" types, only it seems that most people are oblivious to that matter this time.
2.1/5

Probably one of the most important classical pieces for the 21st century. This recording says so much about the end of things and the overall human condition, while using so little and letting even that little be scraped away.
