Eno's most celebrated musical experiments were not exclusively confined to ambient music. He was also involved in a project which asked the question: what would it sound like if you created an orchestra which used standard, established musical instruments, playing well-known classical standard themes, but one that was composed of a combination of both fully competent musicians and totally inexperienced and utterly in…

I think you missed the most vital part of the PS: nobody was allowed to play "their instrument", if they had one. So violinists were not allowed to play violin, bass players could not play bass, etc.

One of Brian Enos mentees is now an upcoming Producer/DJ. Check out Fred again https://youtu.be/c0-hvjV2A5Y one of the best boiler room sets ever in my opinion.

Fred Again makes great dance music, reminds me of how I felt when I was much younger and discovering great dance music. "Upcoming" is understating it though - he is pretty huge right now.

Anyone have some other ambient works similar to Eno's? Preferably something more landscapey like music for airports or Apollo. Some of my favorites include Stars of the Lid, Eluvium, Robin Guthrie (So Many Short Years Ago), Brian McBride (Overture for other halfs), and Helios.

I didn't find him from the mentions yet so I'll add Gas. Start with Zauberberg, Königsforst and Pop, and if you like them get completely lost with the rest of his productions.
