Blaine L. Reininger is one of the creative mainsprings behind the cult avant-garde band Tuxedomoon. As a solo artist he has made some ten solo albums, including Broken Fingers (1982), Night Air (1984), Live in Brussels (1986), Instrumentals (1988) -- all four re-issued by LTM, and The More I Learn (2000). Most of them originally appeared on the Crepuscule label.
Night Air 2 is intended as a sequel to his keynote 1984 album Night Air, a bittersweet meditation on life in exile in a hostile city. The sequel, carefully selected from several albums recorded between 1989 and 1999, captures many of the same moods, ranging from cinematic on Night Ride and expatriate angst on Invisible to modern electronica on Arc En Ciel.
