Essential ambient-techno/world music fusion

(5 out of 5 stars)
"These first two Air project offerings (not to be confused with the French band) from German indie Fax label mastermind Pete Namlook are two of the most listenable and essential ambient-techno albums from the 90's. Sadly out of print on the failed Fax USA label, drop everything and get this release while you still can! A fascinating blend of electronica and world music that will leave you spellbound. Air 1 & 2 are still two of the crown jewels in Pete Namlook's unbelievably prolific career. If you enjoy Future Sound of London, Orbital, The Orb, Banco de Gaia or Moby, you really need to own this as well ... it may well send you on your way to discovering other incredible Fax releases, most of which are difficult to find and in limited quantities."
