The pedigree of Reflection includes Thursday Afternoon, Neroli and LUX. I don’t think I understand what ambient stands for anymore, it seems to have swollen to accommodate some quite unexpected bedfellows, but I still use it to distinguish it from pieces of music that have fixed duration and rhythmically connected, locked together elements. I’ve made a lot of thinking music, but most of it I’ve kept for myself. Now I notice that people are using some of those earlier records in the way that I use them - as provocative spaces for thinking - so I feel more inclined to make them public." – Brian Eno
