agree with you about 'airs'...it's wonderful and listening to it the whole
way through is quite exhilirating/exhausting (in a good way). the only
other achim wollscheid solo proper release i have is 'moves', a disc on
selektion. it comes with a small stack of photographs which describes the
overall sound better than i could...tea cups, spoons, chairs?, etc all
hooked up to what looks like movement generators. hrm, comes off sounding
like tingly percussive noises repeated at various speeds...perhaps what
your porcelain cupboard would sound like during an earthquake. ;-)

there's definitely not much here to compare it to the large soundscapes off
'airs' imho, but it's still worth checking out if you're looking for
something sparse and barely acoustic sounding (vs. digital)...
