Reed Jackson on Bell Studies for the Clock of the Long Now
There's not a lot of writing on this rather obscure (no pun intended) late-period Eno album, for it's an odd one too: not uptempo, not ambient, sometimes unpleasant. This at least scratches the surface.

American Suburbs Are a Horror Movie and We’re the Protagonists
"American suburbs are full of ugly, empty, liminal spaces: spaces you are not meant to linger in or enjoy. They’re the creepy hallways of the built environment, and you can’t feel comfortable traversing them unless you’re zooming past them in a car. Why should we fill our cities and towns with places like this? Would you want to live in a house full of empty hallways? I wouldn’t."

TWIN PEAKS SOUNDTRACK DESIGN
An absolutely exhaustive site dedicated to every single piece of music composed by Angelo Badalamenti for Twin Peaks, where it was used in each episode, and where it was altered (slowed, reversed, combined) for other scenes. If you're into that kind of thing, this is the motherlode.
