Why it's here

An Ending (Ascent) is the most borrowed cue in electronic music

Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks holds 'An Ending (Ascent)', the most borrowed cue in electronic music, a piece so widely used it's practically ambient shorthand for wonder. Eno made a record of genuine grace here, and its influence on how film and games and ambient itself sound is impossible to overstate. It ranks at a hundred and thirty-nine because on a rave list it sits at honest altitude, but 'An Ending' alone is one of the most beautiful things any of these artists made.
