Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Moon Safari, the first album proper by this pair of middle-class Frenchmen, easily survives unscathed from its billing as that most deadly of sub-genres: dinner party music. True, Moon Safari, with its blatant bliss-provoking easy listening chimes, sits well beside Everything But the Girl's Walking Wounded or Portishead's Dummy, but the album is steeped in too much musical verve and gallic humour to become as dull as Chardonnay. "Sexy Boy", the first single, is a rock-out slab of electronica about a toy monkey, for instance--hardly the thing to discuss in polite society. This album's highs come with their two marriages with the contributing vocals of American Beth Hirsch. "All I Need" and "You Make It Easy" are shockingly successful, with Hirsch bringing gravitas and sincerity, flagging the album with strong emotional pointers in the midst of their musical adventures. If you didn't know, you'd think her words were sampled from a lost jazz classic--that's how good this record sounds. --Charlie Porter Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - I wore out my 1st Air Moon Safari CD......................and am purchasing replacement because I couldn't live without it. Play it any time of day. If I play it after bedtime reading to my 6yr old, without a doubt, they'll be asleep before the CD finishes! This album can lift you, relax you, whatever you need, it can do it. Definately in my top 10 and I haven't changed my mind since that first Moon Safari CD purchased many years ago! Rating:  - A few tracks are okI bought this because it had so many good reviews, also i like this genre of music however i don't understand what all the fuss is about. It's not bad but certainly not outstanding or original. There's much better albums around. Rating:  - Air - Moon SafariA great album. a worthy buy. This album has one of my top 10 fav tracks of all time "All I Need". All I Need has great sounds and is very simple format but carries accross a great feeling. The last review a little harsh... if you like easy going ambient french sounds and you have familurised yourself with Airs previous work then you wont be bored. I like this album and have it on CD and vinyl. Rating:  - OK, but it was done in the 1970s, kids.Yes, "Moon Safari" is a pleasant enough album that I bought on the strength of the reviews on this site. Unfortunately, most of the reviewers are too young (as can be seen from their grammar and spelling) to realise that "Moon Safari" sounds a bit like "Shamal" by Gong (possibly played backwards) and THAT was released in the 1970s. Strangely enough (or perhaps not), Gong were partly French, too. Rating: - More than just a CDAir moon safari is more than just a CD it's therapy for the mind body & soul. I have many chill out Cd's but I think that it's far to say that moon safari is by far the best. A striking & fascinating collection of sounds that make this one of the best Cd's in my collection by far. And trust me a have a big collection! |
