The first in a series of collaborative improvisations by German experimentalists Pete Namlook & Atom Heart (Uwe Schmidt), 1995’s Jet Chamber is a bit on the spotty side, but the tracks that work are sublime, some of the best ambient electronica of their era. The opening track, the 31-minute “Split Wide,” is a bliss-out classic… AllMusic
Like a movie sequel that’s basically a retread of the original, there’s a definite “been there, done that” feel to the second entry in Pete Namlook & Atom Heart’s Jet Chamber series of collaborative improvisations, but like the best movie sequels, there’s just enough of a changeup in Jet Chamber II to keep it from becoming redundant. Where Namlook was clearly in control of 1995’s Jet Chamber, Jet Chamber II is more of a showcase… AllMusic
