Moon Safari - Air

... Although I am not really keen on "Sexy Boy", I am still not tempted to programme it out when I play "Moon Safari", and the whole album flows together really well. "Moon Safari" a great soundtrack for a real trip to the Moon, so remember to take a copy with you if you ever get chance to ... Read review

True,Moon Safari, with its blatant bliss-provoking
easy listening chimes, sits well beside Everything
But the Girl'sWalking Woundedor Portishead'sDummy,
but the album is steeped in too much musical verve
and gallic humour to become as dull as Chardonnay.
"Sexy Boy", the first single, is a rock-out slab
of electronica about a toy monkey, for
instance--hardly the thing to discuss in polite
society. This album's highs come with their two
marriages with the contributing vocals of American
Beth Hirsch. "All I Need" and "You Make It Easy"
are shockingly successful, with Hirsch bringing
gravitas and sincerity, flagging the album with
strong emotional pointers in the midst of their
musical adventures. If you didn't know, you'd
think her words were sampled from a lost jazz
classic--that's how good this record
sounds.--Charlie Porter

Definitely something in the Air

Advantages: Great mood music, good tunes, varied
Disadvantages: Brief moments of Euro discopop

Air's UK debut album, released in 1998, was a revelation for me. A concept album that was very nearly, conceptually and musically, naff, but that actually sounded so good you had to play it over and over. The album sold over 2 million copies so a lot of people felt the same way.

It starts very quietly, with what sound like the sound of rain, and then some percussion, a little like the start of Steely Dan's "Do It Again", ...
...we enter another world altogether. Out of this world, even, as it's a 'spacey' sound.

As the album's title indicates, there is a 'space' theme throughout. It's not just the song titles (New Star in the Sky, Kelly Watch the Stars), the whole album includes effects which sound spacey, and on checking the credits I was surprised there's no theremin on there (the instrument used on the Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" and a mainstay ... more

Advantages: in op

...been so evident as on Moon Safari. It marks a return to form for synth based melodies and luxurious beat manifestos. Together with Daft Punk and St. Germain, Air consistently poke fluffy marshmallows in the eyes of the mainstream and alternative scenes. Who cares anyway, when Moon Safari can transport you beyond the normal patter of song writing layabouts? 'La Femme D'argent', the 7-minute plus opener, is all hushed keyboard wizardry, background ...
...lack of straightforward vocals on Moon Safari. This means that when the elegant grace of Beth Hirsch's voice swoons on 'All I Need' it sounds refreshing. Hirsch returns on 'You Make It Easy' to sound almost glacial once again. For the rest of the album, the vocals sound like they have travelled through several kilometres of copper wire. At times Air's musical fantasy reaches higher summits. Like on 'Remember', a song that could have even the disinterested ...

I need to get some Air!

Advantages: Great instrumentals
Disadvantages: I cant stop listening to it!

...Versailles and their debut Album Moon Safari hit the charts in 1998. The CD cover is nothing special it depicts a drawn picture of the duo with their name in the top left hand corner. Moon Safari consists of 10 tracks:- La Femme D’argent The first track on Moon Safari, La Femme D’argent is a great instrumental track and a cracking start to the album. It’s great background bassline and classy electronic piano solo is mixed full of futuristic sounds ...

A Great track, with a synthetic French vocals and reminiscent of a track Gary Newman would be proud of. All I need The first proper vocalised song on the album. I can imagine sitting in a French bistro in Paris listening to this in the background. This is what Air are about, this beautiful track hints at the Air French sound with mellow English ...

Sparkling

Advantages: Blissful and inspiring.
Disadvantages: Perhaps not as popular as they deserve to be.

This is the benchmark against which I mark other albums. It was when listening to this album in the car one day that I was inspired by it. The simplicity of the piano arpeggios in "Kelly Watch The Stars" made me look at my own composition that I was in the process of writing in a completely different way. This music is not only very good background music but is also excellent for listening to in detail. Everytime I listen to it I find something new ...
...are used with subtlety and musical intent unlike so many other artists who use such effects regardless of how appropriate they are just to prove that they can use them. Each song on the album has it's own identity whilst at the same time fitting together to form a jigsaw puzzle of how a perfect album should sound. It is consistent yet not repetitive. Some of the sounds in "Moon Safari" can also be heard in their previous album "Premiers Symptomes" ...

What An Album!!!

Advantages: Beautiful, laid-back grooves
Disadvantages: None

I first fell in love with Air when I heard Sexy Boy for the first time – that amazingly twisted bass line – that you will recognise when you hear it, alerted me to the band – and when I got their album, I was immensely impressed. The singles – Sexy Boy + Kelly Watch the Stars – are fantastic, but there are better songs on the album: La Femme d’Argent (lady of money – summat like that) has beautiful piano + bass riffs, mixed with highly strung Rhodes ...
...hear it to understand. Most of the album is much more relaxing than the upbeat Sexy Boy and K.W.T.Ss – one of those albums where you lie back , and just soak it all in… It is a widely available album , and if you like any slow-beat, big-beat, break-beat music or you’re a synth player or a bass player – GO AND BUY THIS NOW!! ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Moon Safari - Air"

Early French smoothness

Advantages: Calming, smooth, suave, sophisticated
Disadvantages: Only seven tracks; final two seem misplaced

A collection of Air's early singles, before the success of 'Sexy Boy' propelled them further up the echelons of the pop world, this seven-track album contains real signs that the band were to go on to do great things. The slower, more dreamy tracks, such as 'Les Professionels' (which includes heavy references to a track on Moon Safari, Air's first album) are magical in the sense of mystery they create. The final two more upbeat tracks do not work quite as well, and don't seem to fit with the mood of the album, but as stand-alone tracks are fine. If you liked Moon Safari or The Virgin Suicides, then you'll love this. If you aren't familiar with the band, then you might listen to another of their albums before you can fully appreciate this one. Nonetheless, a great collection of tracks. ...

Review of Premiers Symptomes - Air

Weaker than Moon Safari

Advantages: A few good tracks
Disadvantages: Much weaker than Moon Safari

How do you follow the greatness that was Air's last album 'Moon Safari'? Well, I guess we'll all just have to wait for the release of the next studio album some time later this year. However, in the meantime we can contemplate this Air commissioned soundtrack to the film 'The Virgin Suicides'. Like all things Air this album has moments of gorgeous and cheeky charm. Much darker in mood to 'Moon Safari' I'm sure the tracks here are better suited to being heard with the film's visuals in attendance. On their own they tend to feel a little lost and incomplete (many clock in at under two minutes). Recent single 'Playground Love' and closing 'Suicide Underground' are about as good as it gets. Much of the rest, whilst nice, does come across as aural wallpaper rather than an essential daily appliance! If you're an Air fan than you'll buy this ...

Review of Virgin Suicides, The (Original Soundtrack) - Air

Richard Ashcroft - Keys To The World reviewed

Advantages: Richard Ashcroft singing good songs is always an advantage
Disadvantages: Will always be compared to the Verve, and it isn't as good

a mixed bag and, just as you're putting the ironing board away, Ashcroft pulls out '75 Degrees' and calls it a bonus track. And bonus it is, if it was on Air's excellent 'Moon Safari' with Ashcroft credited as a guest, it would be rated as one of their best songs, rather than an add-on to an 'alright' album. Even the typically self-indulgent line, "I often wondered when it all went right" settles in a song of this calibre. As an album, there has been better by The Verve. But it could be Ashcroft's best. 7/10 ...
