Why it's here

Cologne acid-ambient; the record Kompakt's founders were listening to

Air Liquide is Cologne acid-ambient, the record Kompakt's founders were listening to, a strange and playful fusion of acid and ambient from the city that would later define minimal. It's a genuine influence on what came after, and a distinctive, slightly eccentric record in its own right.
