Of the more 'ambient' side of the Fax catalogue, this is one of my very favourites. I guess it's more 'traditionally' ambient than some (i.e contains no beats, not typically 'experimental' either - just spacey soundscapes with musical accompaniments). It's highly engaging, never boring and I can lose myself in the gorgeous world it creates with ease.

An "Aerial Service Area" is of course an "Airport" and this album looks like a tribute to what is considered to be the first ambient album in its genre: "Music for Airports" from Brian Eno, way back in 1978. Because that particular Eno album had no tracknames, only the title of the album could refer to it. But even all the tracknames on this album pay respect to Eno: "Eternal Infinity" as opposed to "Ending" on "Apollo", "Liquid Water" refers to "Slow Water" on "Music For Films", "Highglow" to "Shadow" on "On Land" and finally "Another Green Airport" to "Another Green World" on the ditto named album.
With access to today's much more sophisticated equipment Aerial Service Area brings you a brilliant and so quietening ode to what is not only the first, but also one of the very best ambient albums of all times and more in general to the work of Brian Eno.
"Low volume listening recommended" is what it says in the booklet and this was also Eno's idea of this kind of ambient: creating a very pleasant atmosphere without being too noticeable for the audience. Muzak may sound negative to most people, but making music that does NOT capture the attention of the listener, yet brings so much beauty, is a very difficult thing to do and that is exactly what is done here, although compared to the Eno album it does capture a bit more your attention.
I know they played "Music for Airports" in Chicago Airport, but I'm afraid that with "Aerial Service Area" a lot of engers would miss (or truly experience) their flight.
