Time_Trap Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 http://www.discogs.com/release/353638 Label: Ambient World Catalog#: aw 031 Format: CD Country: Germany Released: 15 Jan 2004 Tracklisting 1 La Nuit De Tous Nos Rêves Approche (6:47) 2 Clearing Your Head (8:12) 3 On Her Way In (9.23) 4 Elle A Du Shell (5:44) 5 Synthetique Be-Bop (2:19) 6 Sex-Au-Phone (10:39) 7 On Her Way Out (10:58) For those that do not know and haven't figured out already, AIR is just another alias of Pete Namlook who has delivered us huge amounts of ambient music.. His AIR project,if I guessed right, is probably lighter and less psychedelic side-project, with more vocals and ethnic influences. 1 La Nuit De Tous Nos Rêves Approche (6:47) Maybe you are startled or even disturbed by the cheezy[?] arab/oriental melody.... But to be honest I actually like it... it appears now and then in this track but personally I believe it rather fits this particular track.. The vocal [ male voice saying "Elle A Du Shell" ] does NOT fit and is disturbing to my ears, however. 2 Clearing Your Head (8:12) Okay. Now this seems to start much more ambient-ish , for sure atmospheric and intriguing. Background sounds, imposing and hypnotic voices to the left and right... Clearing your head, that's accurate. 3 On Her Way In (9.23) Slow downbeat chill track including a very nice , melancholic first melody.. After the beatless break at around 3.00 some rather cheesy melodies are introduced, the first melody gets in again after a while so it gets better... and continues pretty descent after that cheezy flaw... Oh no some more cheeeeze towards the end... 4 Elle A Du Shell (5:44) Hmmm.. What do we have here. Funny[?] track.. sounds like music to accompany soap opera's in "we're all happy" moments.[or the "I fell in love" moments.. :rolleyes: o0 ;) ] 5 Synthetique Be-Bop (2:19) Intro is weird in a funny way.... Yes that's clearly humour music.. Not what expected but not crap either. 6 Sex-Au-Phone (10:39) Saxophone... As romantic as possible... Well constructed track though, the layers accompanying the sax , plus of course the sax provide this track with lots of emotions.. 7 On Her Way Out (10:58) Final track is fortunately on the ambient/chill side, let's relax a bit... Smooth & melodic.. Hmm. I think Pete Namlook was in love when making this one. I could understand him if it's about the delicious female in the cover. All in all, don't expect Pete Namlook's style or you'll get dissapointed... Try to approach this release as something else, not expecting something trippy and/or psychedelic.
