7. Stars Brian Eno
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfZxZmbbWI8 While the other songs on this list talk about space, this instrumental track evokes space and its immensity, its void, its frigidness. Its mesmerising absence of life. Brian Eno's distinguished work as a producer tends to overshadow his highly influential solo endeavours, in which he has cultivated a kind of ambient music whose impact on modern music is simply inestimable. Eno's organic use of synthesizers and drones creates a sonic landscape that is the closest most of us are going to get to floating through space. It's tracks like Stars, from his album Apollo, that have a long lasting impact on other artists, from popular musicians like U2 and Enya to famed film composers like Vangelis and Cliff Martinez.
