Althouth it was re-released after Moon Safari, and included 2 additional tracks, this is a prior release for the frenchsters Air. After you hear it, you cannot argue that Moon Safari, is inevitably the best follow-up this mini-album could have. Actually you can see that All I Need was indeed based on one of the songs on this mini-album. Surely one of the finest moments, France could provide in a decade where electronic music turned out to be an all impressive field.
Be sure to keep one of these into your record collection.
AIR French Band* - Moon Safari
Feb 03, 2003
Hi
When I first bought this record in 1998, I had heard 2 tracks on Pete Tong's "Essential Selection" radio show: Sexy Boy and La Femme D'Argent. I was convinced that it was trendy thing but just after hearing it once I changed my oppinion completely. This is a masterpiece. Actually I can (even dare to) say that it is for me, the best album ever. Do you know that feeling when you just have a new record in your hands that you are so excited to hear? That first experience of listening to it. Well, every time I listen to Moon Safari is as if it was the first time, there is always something new and believe me, because I have bought this record 20 times (up til this day). One for me, and another 19 as gifts. And all that people who I gave it to, loved it as well. Actually I find Sexy Boy the worst track on the album and I only managed to like it after watching the video. You just start with the masterpiece "La Femme D'Argent" and then go on. For the me orgasm of the album is track #9 "New Star In The Sky", and when you listen to "Ce Matin La", think of a Spring morning with the leafs wet and the birds singing. If perfection does exist, then Moon Safari definitely is around the corner. | ||||
Talkie Walkie is indeed their finest album in years and is a welcome return to the style that made "Moon Safari" what it is, a classic in it's own right, an album which has now spent over 200 weeks inside the UK albums chart.
Being quite amazingly surprised by the quality of this recording let's hope that albums like this will keep coming in the forthcoming years.
Wonderful!
