Airwave: The Promise I Made
Airwave’s new triple CD is exactly what you need from ambient trance. The fact it comes out of the Bonzai stable is itself a marque of quality, but the music is exactly right for the genre: there are barely any vocals and it’s easy to tune out whilst doing something else. As Brian Eno once remarked, ambient music can be “actively listened to with attention or as easily ignored, depending on the choice of the listener”.
The Promise I Made appears towards the end of the first CD, and it’s a piece with a distinctive melody that gradually demands your attention.
