If, like me, you're trying to break into this genre of music, this album is an excellent place to start. It was released 17 February of 2004, so it's quite recent. I can't claim familiarity with Air's other albums, so I'll just stick to this one. I actually got to know it quite decently on a recent transatlantic flight on BA from London to Boston. I was able to drift in and out of sleep quite pleasantly with these tunes in my semi aware subconsciousness. Overall I found the album to be pleasantly hypnotic and soothing, an excellent chilled out combination.
Now that I've listened to it quite a bit I find that this album is great to read or study to as it is so relaxed and you don't really notice one track fading into another; it's like one lovely cohesive whole. I particularly like 'Cherry Blossom Girl', and 'Alone in Kyoto' which definitely have an interesting Japanese feel to them. I'm looking forward to hearing more Air, and if you're new to the genre as I am, I think you will too, if a chilled out backround ambiance is what you're looking for. good luck!
Tracks on the album: 1. Venus - 4:04 2. Cherry Blossom Girl - 3:39 3. Run - 4:12 4. Universal Traveler - 4:22 5. Mike Mills - 4:26 6. Surfing on a Rocket - 3:43 7. Another Day - 3:20 8. Alpha Beta Gaga - 4:39 9. Biological - 6:04 10. Alone in Kyoto - 4:50

Advantages: Brilliant sound design. Excellent mix (Nigel Godrich). Good melodic and harmonic content. Disadvantages: Very difficult to find any. There's only one weak track -05 - Mike Mills.
