"Chill-out" is a much over used/hyped/marketed phrase, especially in these post-rock/rave days. So six years on, Moon Safari by Air still sums up everything that genre should be about. We get glorious, soft vocals, seas of keyboards and heart-beat bass lines to float us away. Its the musical equivilent of a good pair of slippers, a cup of horlicks and a purring cat. There is a dance element there. DJs were queuing up to mix - Sexy Boy. But everything is soothed by the flowing vocals of Blur's mate Francoise Hardy, succulent brass and teasing organs. There are not many albums I listen to as much now as when they were released. But the strength of songs like Kelly Watch The Stars, Remember and the sublime You Make It Easy make this something special. This is not just a hotch-potch of samples and cellos to an old James Brown sample. This is an album of proper songs with a gentle atmosphere that take you off to somewhere far more pleasant. Genre defining!
