Air Texture Volume IV CD

For those keen on ambient music, the Air Texture compilations have become something of annual fixture. Happily, this fourth installment - the first dropped in 2011 - is every bit as beguiling, lucid and dreamy as its' predecessors. As with previous editions, Air Texture Volume IV is a two-disc affair, with each CD being compiled by a different electronic musician. Editions Mego and Kranky regular Steve Hauschild handles disc one, pulling together inspired, heavenly tracks from the likes of Pulse Emitter, Mirror to Mirror and Event Cloak. More inspired still is Bnjmn's selection on disc two, which boasts surprise inclusions from dancefloor maestros Legowelt, Heiroglyphic Being, Herva and Lukid, whose "The Air You Breathe" is simply breathtaking.
