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 organ – it is just gorgeous – you have to 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!!
