Reviews

Cardiff_Giant Apr 6, 2022
This is an absolutely epic ambient masterwork by Pete Namlook. Silent State Recordings put out a very nice double vinyl reissue of Air I, but upon revisiting this 2CD set, it's clear that Air I+II are meant to be paired together and beg to be heard as one long journey. Trip 1-11 are indispensable (especially the goosebump inducing "Trip 2"). This double set has it all, and can be had much more easily than the separate vinyl or CD releases of Air I & Air II.
