Pete Namlook, one of the most influential figures in the history of electronic music, passed away in 2012, leaving behind a vast sonic legacy. Yet Air remains his most poetic, organic, and emotionally resonant project. Created between 1993 and 2006, the Air series is a five-part symphony of ambient, ethnic, jazz, neoclassical, and cosmic electronic elements.

Now, nearly two decades later, we proudly present the long-awaited reissue of the entire series — for the first time ever as a complete 5CD boxset. From the wind-kissed sensuality of Air I, through the abstract voyages of Air II, the rich instrumental palette of Air III, the stylistic fusion of Air IV, to the deeply personal and introspective Air V — this collection stands as a milestone in ambient music history.

Ethereal female vocals, natural field recordings, cosmic jazz, neoclassical textures, immersive ambient

Limited edition 5CD boxset in a deluxe soft-touch case with spot varnish finish

CD 1: Air I — You (1993)
The beginning of the journey. One of the most delicate and emotionally charged ambient albums.
Ethereal French female vocals, the breath of the wind, slow-evolving synthesizer waves, and a soft touch of melancholy.
A seamless progression from beatless textures to a techno-tinged, passionate climax.

CD 2: Air II — Travelling Without Moving (1994)
Immersion in weightlessness.
Eleven untitled chapters flowing together: from zero BPM up to 130 BPM.
Live percussion and field recordings create an organic sense of movement without relocation.
A sonic reimagining of space and time.

CD 3: Air III — Secret Heritage (1996)
The stage of expansion.
A deeper integration of ethnic instruments, piano, string textures, and Eastern melodies.
"Oui" is built almost entirely on ethnic arrangements, while "Est-ce que l'amour fait mal?" returns to deep bass, string harmonies, and ethereal vocals.

CD 4: Air IV — Elle A Du Shell (1999)
Musical alchemy.
Caribbean jazz, electronic bebop, deep ambient, space trance, and ethno-electronics intertwine into a rich, multilayered composition.
Namlook continues to break down genre boundaries, creating a new form of ambient music.

CD 5: Air V — Jeux Dangereux (2006)
The final and most personal chapter.
According to Pete Namlook himself, the album with the deepest emotional impact.
Air V is a meditation on impossible love, light, and farewell.
A long and maturing journey completed with a conscious and luminous finale.
