Ambient 3: Days of Radiance by Brian Eno: Ambient. The third one in this series and from the first track we hear a difference in the instrumentation. This album sees Eno harness more of a producer role with the American Ambient musician Laraaji (alias of Edward Larry Gordon) performing most of the instrumental duties. The instruments used are mostly hammered dulcimer and a zither – acoustic instruments so obviously a break from the electronic soundscapes Eno was trying to create. They are split into variations of the same track and so the first three have similarities as do the last two. Hypnotic and, in some parts, it can be quite annoying, thus taking away the supposed ambience it is trying to create. TWH: The Dance #2; Meditation 1
