Deluxe generative edition of Brian Eno's acclaimed 2017 ambient album, Reflection. "REFLECTION is the most recent of my Ambient experiments and represents the most sophisticated of them so far. My original intention with Ambient music was to make endless music, music that would be there as long as you wanted it to be. I wanted also that this music would unfold differently all the time - ‘like sitting by a river’: it’s always the same river, but it’s always changing. But recordings - whether vinyl, cassette or CD - are limited in length, and replay identically each time you listen to them. So in the past I was limited to making the systems which make the music, but then recording 30 minutes or an hour and releasing that. REFLECTION in its album form - on vinyl or CD - is like this. But the app by which REFLECTION is produced is not restricted: it creates an endless and endlessly changing version of the piece of music.” - Brian Eno Minimum requirements: iPad 3 iPhone 5 iPad mini 2 AppleTV (4th generation)

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Within Temptation at Free against Brian Eno's $30.99. Within Temptation also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Brian Eno's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 16 months). On in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
