Music for airports is my favorite ambient Eno. I have this part of my brain that notices odd (to me) choices, and some of his ambient stuff has sounds/patterns that break me out of the zone, but music for airports works as intended. Love Eno, and I think this is a "me" problem, rather than an issue with his work.
Unless I need a sense of urgency, random recordings of bird songs (especially mockingbirds) are my go-to for background noise for work.
