HBO Intermission music and video in the early days of HBO

I distinctly remember watching intermission programming on HBO between regular programming when I was a kid.  We didn't subscribe to HBO, but during their free-trial weekends, I would watch as much as I could.
I recall turning on the TV and either seeing a movie or hearing this "weird" music.  I vaguely remember them also showing calming color patterns along with the text showing upcoming programming.

It always wondered what the music was, and I've finally figured it out after many Google searches.

The music is Brian Eno's - Music For Airports.  Specifically track 1/2.

I'd call it haunting and memorable.  Exactly how I remember it.
