Air 4 is a profound exercise in stillness, a record that feels less like a collection of songs and more like a physical environment you inhabit. Released during the height of the 1990s ambient revival, it eschews the busy breakbeats of its contemporaries in favor of pure, liquid synthesis. The sound is unmistakably analog, carrying a warmth that prevents the 'space' themes from ever feeling cold or sterile. Instead, it feels like being wrapped in a velvet blanket while floating through a nebula.
