Ambient, Slowed-Down Theme for Windows 95

Here’s Brian Eno’s famous composition “Windows 95 Startup Sound” (yeah he wrote that), but it has been stretched way out.

When you take his micro-music and stretch it out to two and a half minutes, it becomes suspiciously like the music we hear on his ambient albums - slow, ethereal, moody, beautiful in a very different way. So listen to it (this is a Windows 95 ad that an enterprising YouTuber slowed way down).
