Another Green World - his firs solo experiment with what he called "unengaging" music - certainly had it's fans, though I found much of it too, well, "Becalmed", as one of its precisely programmatic titles declared.

P.S.1 Tipo que use expressões como "little pools of sound on the outskirts of silence...", só pode ser um grande crítico musical.
P.S.2 Que fique claro que nunca recorri a Another Green World para fundo sonoro das minhas práticas de yôga. O mesmo já não posso dizer em relação a Discreet Music, Music for Airports, Apollo, Thursday Afternoon, Neroli ou The Shutov Assembly.
P.S.3 Ei Eduardo!, cheguei ao Lester Bangs, dude.
