For those of us who have been quietly pining for a new album from the legendary Scottish trio The Blue Nile, hearts were gladdened when word came that frontman and songwriter Paul Buchanan was self-releasing a solo album Mid Air in the U.K. on May 21. Formed in 1981 and releasing only four albums between 1984 and 2004, The Blue Nile became as beloved as they were commercially unsuccessful and whose self-titled debut and second album Hats (1989) have been pegged by both fans and critics alike as two of [...]
To say that Roanoke, VA's Midair owes a good deal of debt to '80s and '90s indie-rock legends such as Slint and June Of 44 would be an understatement. Instrumental tracks such as "Mister" and "Catspaw"—with their constant shifts and mathy, post-rock-inspired guitars—would feel right at home on Spiderland or Tropics And Meridians . Fifteen years ago, when such music was an indie-rock norm, seeing a band like Midair on a show's bill would probably produce a few eye rolls. These days, though, it's a pleasant (and harmless) throwback that will likely induce more feelings [...]

Being that I grew up in the midwestern region of the United States, I always like to seek out some of the jams from my former neck of the woods. Hailing from Chicago, Mid Air brought us one of the most slamming tracks to ever come out of the 80's Boogie era. As far as I know, "Ease Out" was the only release on the Full Scope imprint, which most likely means the label was formed by the band itself. It's a shame that this is the only release from Mid Air as the track is a synth-boogie tour de [...]
Here's another super rare 80's boogie gem by two brothers from Chicago, Leroy and Robert Martin, better known as Mid Air. As you would expect, there's virtually no information on the duo, or their label. To give you an idea of how rare we're talkin, only 3 known copies of this record were auctioned off on ebay in 2007, selling for an average price of $439 (check prices at popsike ). Enjoy. [...]
