Brian Eno : Reflection

Great for lovers of the ambient genre. Runs well on M3 iMAC. OS 15.3.1. The app has a message suggesting to use external speakers or headphones. I have not listened on either speakers or headphones yet, but have found using the M3’s internal speakers with Boom (calibrated to the M3), with ‘Ambience’ feature engaged (up to about 6/ 1 0’clock) to work quite well with the ambient nature of this piece. Have been a huge fan of Brian Eno, have ‘Reflection’ on CD, and I learned about the generative version a while back, shortly after it was released in 2017. Provides an excellent relaxing, yet interesting background while using the M3. Generally I find the M3 iMac speaker/ audio system lacking compared to modest powered speakers or a decent pair of earbuds or headphones. I have noticed that the iMac built-in speakers sound better if it is positioned away from a wall or flat surface

I experience an issue with the app when listening is interrupted by any notification then it pauses automatically but does not start where it left off upon playing, forcing me to restart the song each time I get a notification, causing the app to lose its purpose in playing an ongoing iterative track. This is disappointing since everything else about it is great.

Reflection is beautiful and has given me years of enjoyment. Now I wish very much that the developers would return to it and adapt it to Spatial Audio.
