about

In 1998 Aïr became a quartet. The following year we made this, our first studio recording. It was meant to be an album, but we never got around to making it. We were heavily influenced by Japanese underground psychedelic rock and krautrock, but the songs were completely improvised, and we tried to create our own thing.
