AIR -SUISSE AIR 1978 ,FLAC and LAME

HERE'S, a stunning live album by one of the all time
great free jazz groups, this the first album of theirs i ever bought, and Ive loved the collective sound of this group ever since.


threadgill has now like anthony braxton transcended the idiom, and there are plenty of pointers to this (rampantly eclectic )future direction throughout this GLORIOUS slab .

this bands palette was as broad as it was subtle, almost everything can happen,a truly rich and rewarding listening experience.

i never tire of listening to this, one could spend a lifetime and find continual renewal.

who knows why the aeco became more acclaimed than AIR or the Revolutionary ensemble for me along with Leo smith and anthony braxton's mammoth oeuvre.
the most joyous and satisfying listening experiences Ive ever had, contemporary free jazz is hugely mannered by comparison.

fred hopkins and steve mccall -are sadly no longer with us.








this is a very clean vinyl rip, and shame on bmg or whomever owns novus for not deeming air's albums worthy of full hansomely packaged reissue.

its almost criminal.
many people are starving for this, and if they dont step in and fill the gap, we will continue to share it in the form of crackly vinyl rips!!

a pox on their stingy bottom line mentality, and bottomless profit mongering.
as well as there ephemeral taste shaping on a mass toxic scale.

BUY REISSUED AIR.
