o well fasten your seatbelts:
it's some guitar, some bass, some drums and some synth stuff + voice stitched together into a handful of melancholic indiepop songs. FUCKING SURPRISE!
nice for riding a bicycle, too boring for actually listening to it.

It's wallpaper music which is okay. Middle of the road, not poppy enough to make them not be newsagents in their former years.

Air is the sound my ears crave after, after a noisy day. I'm not sure if it's great music, but it definately great at what it do. Premier Symptomes is incredibly lush and some of what comes after surpasses even that. First Air memory is of a stuffed monkey floating in space; now i like even that!

i listened to it a couple of times now..i wish these were just left overs from think thank, though it's a little better than i initially thought. i mean, all their other albums seemed much more exciting on the first listen..

i'd love to like air, it seems to be nice music.... if it just wasn't so boring.... i feel the urge to not listen to pocket symphony again, oh what a pity. sad world. so sad.

Been listening to this a lot for the past few days and already love it! Napalm Love and Once Upon A Time are so good. Everything is quickly growing on me.

I really enjoy moon safari and 10'000 hertz legend. I stopped paying attention after that. Oh, i really do enjoy some of the stuff on the virgin suicides sountrack...

theyre very good live. although the lispyness of the one guys voice really comes through. i was expecting them to have at least a few people helping them out to get the tunes out in a live setting but it was just them and it was remarkable seeing how much noise two men can make.
this isnt a very good review.

but then again, most of you people dissing air seem to think that venetian snares is something of a genius, which is an utterly bollocks idea.

just listened to pocket symphony for the first time this morning on the bus to campus, and i gotta say im not very impressed.
im a huge fan of moon safari and 10,000 hz legend (talkie walkie was good, not great imo). pocket symphony is a lot more boring.
it lacks the eerie, claustrophobic atmosphere that 10,000 hz and talkie walkie thrived on, and ends up sounding like air on muscle relaxants. napalm love is the only track which really grabbed me.
granted, this was only the first listen and im feeling simialr about this as i did when i first listened to campfire headphase, which after a couple months i realized i loved. but as was inevitable with boc, air seem to have lost the slight bit of edge and are mellowing out (if one had thought such was possible for either band).
