31) "The Mid-Morning Recording"              Air (Pete Namlook)- ‘Air I - You’
I love playing ambient records for "Mid-Morning Recordings". Some of my favorite albums to listen to on multiple occasions happen to be ambient offerings. Pete Namlook is certainly someone who knows how to make great electronica, and I do believe that tonight's album was one of the first truly ambient albums that I ever listened to. Even though this is the first album from Pete's moniker "Air", it is the fourth album played by them on this part of the show. I like 'Air II - Traveling Without Moving' the most, but all of the albums produced by Pete under this moniker are ambient classics, including this one. All of the Air releases have a slightly French atmosphere, but at the root, it is pure German techno. I've actually been holding on to this recording for a while..."That will get played one day"...and now that day has come. I'm sure one day in the future, the latest, and as of now the last album by Air, 'Air V - Jeux Dangereux' will get a spin as a "Mid-Morning Recording". Tonight's recording is a terrific album to just put on and veg out to; or possibly if you're a lucky one, you can make out to it with someone special. Too bad I'm alone, and writing this playlist. :D. This one goes out to all the lovers who just happen to be listening to KRTU on this early Saturday morning. I hope you enjoyed. ;) "Je suis triste et seul ici" ("I am sad, and only here").
