I've seen a cd at my local music store that keeps grabbing my attention,the artists called Air.I've never heard of them,are they any good,is it IDM,trip-hop or what? It looks ambient-ish music ,BoC style. |

||||||||
|

"I don't mind wasting money,I brough Big Calm by Morcheeba last week! " So did I, hehe...I hated it though. :D Air are very nice, and their new album is more experimental then Moon Safari, which is more lovely and chilled. |

i have almost every their album, i like them pretty much anyone has "elle a du shell" ? this one is pretty cool |
||||||||

air's very nice.. i'd recommend the album 'premiers symptomes' its mostly instrumental.. a bit more cinematic sounding than their other stuff.. its really mellow retro sounding stuff.. a little bit like boc, i suppose.. if anything because they share an obsession with vintage modular synthesizers and vocoders..and the nostalgia that comes with the sounds they make.. some of its a bit cheesy, intentionally though.. occasionally reminiscent of 70's porn music i dont know if you've seen the virgin suicides...they did the original score to that movie |

I brought Outcast's Stankonia,Big Calm Morcheeba and a classical chillout album for £14.99 total. |
||||||||
|

Air is very intentionally cheesy.. sometimes it works, many times it's just annoying .. I love cheese but not usually their type of Mary Tyler Moore-ish soundtrack stuff.. Moon Safari, particularly Le Femme d'Argent is great, though. It just gets boring quickly to me. |
||||||||

|
|
Ahh yeah...air lovely sleeping music, relaxing as hell. I have the virgin suicides score, interesting, somewhat boring, good for a movie, don't get the album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cheesy like Goon-Gumpa-cheesy? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, similar aesthetic and I would guess similar motive .. it's like they are fusing electronica with the theme to Three's Company while giving you a little *wink wink*. So, in one sense yes, it is like Goon Gumpas, except it sounds more like Price is Right than Snow White. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't hear cheesy i hear retro maybe different to mainstream probably relaxing definately |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Air is really good..I also have moon safari. It's bery good, trust us Tone |
||||||||

Premiers symptoms is theri crowning achievement.all the sinlges that made them famous. "modular mix" and "le soleil set pre de moi" are awsome tracks. Try playing "Brakes on" in a room lit with a red lightbulb. heh heh. Their last cd sucked dont buy it. |
||||||||

|
|
moon safari was a cool album, maybe I just like it because it gets girls :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no way. premiers symptoms is way better for that. Girls eat that shit up. |

i can't believe all ya'll DISSING AIR, they are totally amazing, never boring........i dunno how you can say that. they were voted one of the BEST bands ever....... *is very puzzeled by ya'll* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed. They have a very unique sound: A cross between between chilled lounge-jazz and Brian Eno (or you can make up your own :) ). |
||||||||

|
buy moon safari first... 10,000 hz legend is a mixed bag, tho i loved it at first. definitely listen to their early music first. |
