Reviews & Discussion:

This is absolutely one of my favourite recordings I own in my collection, spanning from MP3's to vinyl. I absolutely adore this EP from some of my favourite artists, Alan Braxe, Fred Falke and Savage. The track 'Defender' on side A is a rather addictive electro, house, dance track with a good phasing and a well played guitar to top it all off.
The rumor goes, that Alan Braxe and Fred Falke was working on this track when they asked Savage to play the guitar and the band Defender was formed to produce this EP.

The track that in my opinion steals the show completely though is 'Bliss'. It starts off with a relaxing feel to it but then blasts into a brass fanfare and the trademark Fred Falke bass sound. This track stuck on my mind and I it's the kind of track you listen to when the sun is shining etc.

If you like Alan Braxe and/or Fred Falke then I would recommend this EP because even though it only consists of two tracks it's definitly worth it and it's two well-produced addictive tracks!
Considering the fact that this is Air's debut album, I was very impressed when I first bought it because it's a well-produced album with memorable tracks.

The music is best at times where you want to relax, and just listen without doing anything physically or mentally stressful.

That could be one of Moon Safari's weaknesses though. It's not fitting for other situation than relaxation and the album might become boring if you're not in the exact mood, which might not occur very often.

Tracks like "La Femme D'Argent", "Sexy Boy" and "All I Need" are definitly worth a listen though and can often be played regardless of your mood.

Overall a fine album with well-produced tracks, but might become boring for some listeners.

4/6
