I don't think I'll be buying this but that's great news. Namlook is still very missed

Yes...taken from us far too young

Luckily left us with a lifetime worth of music to explore! 

I used to listen to this so much about 20 years ago. So nostalgic. Probably going to just grab the remastered digitals.

I love how they only sell from their Bandcamp meaning if you want to grab these from another country the cost is fucking extortionate. Was gonna get the Air ones but £60+ for a double album is ludicrous.

edit: also Namlook famously hated vinyl so I'm not convinced this is completely honouring his legacy, but it is what it is.

I’ll grab the remastered digital vinyls sometime soon. Always only had pirated versions before.

For what its worth their reissues are absolutely worth every penny. The level of care and attention to detail they put into each release is unmatched. When I got Air II it shipped with tons of extra goodies - NASA memorabilia, art prints, vintage 70s stamps, a handwritten note, 3 free download codes for other FAX releases, all on top of it looking and sounding utterly incredible. 

Will be buying everything they put out no questions asked. 

yeah they do an amazing job. read an interview with the guy recently. don’t think it really turns a profit. just for the love of the game.

I appreciate that, but it's not the cost of the record that I have an issue with, it's the shipping. If they could just hook up with some UK distro I'd buy one in a shot, but £65 is way out of my price range for one album.
