Quite groundbreaking when it first came out, Moon Safari has since been eclipsed by other releases by different artists. But its quality is still evident after repeated listens. True, the music itself isn't terribly complex, but as an example of nouveau easy listening/lounge downtempo, it's a landmark album.

This album mostly sounds like elevator and mood music, but the thing is, I like it. Pop this in your stereo and tune out to an indulging music euphoria. The only song I didn't enjoy was "Sexy Boy", and the only element of it that kept me listening was the odd modified voice thing you hear throughout the track (just listen to the track, you'll understand what I mean).

Truly an amazing sophmore release from this french duo. I bought it for Kelley Watch the Stars, but loved it for every other track. The only song that gets on my nerve is Sexy Boy.

The album has a floaty selection of downtempo beats that can follow you from laying on the beach to going to sleep to breaking up with your mate. Truly a versatile album which is a permanent selection in the soundtrack to my life.

An interesting note: The beats in the video version of Kelley are more accoustic than the album version.
