the more you listen to the album the more you fall in love
with it, so buy it and be with love with :D

@tolstoyed: the notwist are german band, using electronic
elements for their songs. it's indiepop on high level :D
console is a sideproject of a member of the notwist, with
whom björk worked together for vespertine, actually.

yeah, actually tied & tickled trio is side project of the
notwist. console is also one and lali puna (was for a while
radiohead's fav band) another.

and the notwist, but i wanna check out more of them :D

bah.

this album is really doing my head in.

I havnt listened to an album on repeat, so many times in so
long...

its just fucking brilliant is what it is.

I also went out and got 10,000 Hz Legend, and the Virgin
Suicides. All great as well.

Fuck, Air is amazing. Seriously sends tingles through me.

one of my friends listened to it, and said it sounds like
elavator background music. LOL

he heard universal traveller

for me till now the not so good tracks on the album are

"surfing on the rocket" and
"alpha beta gaga"

but i have to give it more listenings :-)

beta gaga is very nice as well...apperantly it's an album

just found out the song 'mike mills' is named after the guy
who directed their first dvd eating sleeping waiting and
playing
. which is apparently a film about air on tour by
mike mills. kind of a cool bit of trivia.

wonder if the dvd is any good? i almost bought it a while
ago. can't wait till i have money for the special ed. talkie
walkie :)

here's blowfield's comment on speacial edition bonus dvd:
"it is a concert DVD with live music of them (great live
performances, indeed!!!), and they switch always between
air-backstage, air-onstage, air-in-hotel, air-kidding
around, and such like"

i'm gonna have to save up for the special ed. talkie walkie
and this other dvd i think. i'm loving everything air has
released.

you quote me *g* interesting :-)

spoonz: the difference between the regular edition of talkie
walkie and special edition is 2-3 dollars, in my case 1
euro, only ! :-)

i am interested in their "eating sleeping waiting and
playing"

btw: is the director of this bonus DVD mike mills, too?
because i read his name as director of air the other day...

I bought this today, but haven't really listened to it...
came with a dvd, and is enhanced, so that's cool!

I also bought Interpols cd, which is really cool!

ok, giving this bad boy a listen... and after the first
three tracks I already like it a lot more then Moon
Safari... I only bought this cause tolstoyed was so excited
about it, so you're lucky man! :)

yeah, I must say this is pretty great stuff... I'm on track
7 and haven't encountered a bad song... I'm really happy,
cause I never really got into Moon Safari much... maybe I
should listen to it more, cause I only bought it a few
months ago... but you know! :)

okay, I'll be the first.

I think it's pretty boring. yes, BORING!

first four tracks are okay than it goes downhill rapidly,
with pseudo-Beatles-rip-offs etc. badbadbad.

I've listened to it about 5 times then forgot about it,
until I saw this topic.

but I'll defineatly buy this album.
The only air-album I have right now is the
"Virgin Suicides"-soundtrack which I like a lot...
Air is great!

Read the first few threads but can't be bothered reading the
rest right now, will read them later.

Would just like to add my own thoughts.

I consider "10 000 hz legend" to not only be Air's greatest
album but one of the greatest albums ever made,and my record
collection extends into the thousands, there is more fun and
invention on each track than most acts can sustain
throughout an album, I can't believe people were dissing it
earlier, oh well, their loss.

As for "Walkie Talkie", well it's great but there are about
four fillers so all in all about 29mins of great music,
"Run" is one of the best things they have ever done.
