Music For Real Airports

Collected together for the first time, this five CD box set brings together the work around Music For Real Airports. Long admired by listeners, the collection includes Music For Real Airports, Music For Airport Lounges, Music For Dead Airports, Live At The Millennium Galleries and The One Escape Bar. It features a substantial amount of new unheard material, alternate mixes and live recordings taken from our archive. This second box set reflects a long and uneasy relationship with airports. After years spent sitting in them, travelling back and forth to gigs, we have seen past the polished surfaces and the promises of comfort and efficiency. Airports present a controlled fiction, a managed calm built on delay, surveillance and routine. Across five hours of music, much of it previously unheard and available for the first time, the box set confronts the modern reality of travel and the corporate structures that shape it. The music documents these spaces as they are experienced rather than as they are sold.
