Air: Air II LP

Another luxurious package from Silent State's deep dive into Pete Namlook's hugely important (and vast) discography. Originally released on Fax +49-69/450464 in 1994, this 30th anniversary reissue is also the first time on vinyl for this monumental album. The second volume of the Air series is even more abstract, stringing together eleven untitled chapters in a zero gravity journey aptly dubbed “Traveling Without Moving: The Trip.” The album lives up to that loose aforementioned tagline, imagining an ever-elusive search for meaning in the interzone Namlook never really abandoned. A lot of live recorded percussion in conjunction with environmental sounds is giving this album a more human touch. Over 60 minutes in one go, eleven "trips" on this worthy successor. Ambient with and without beats between 0 and 130 BPM.
