 Rating:  - PerfectI was lucky enough to discover this album as part of the in-flight entertainment on a night flight from New York to London. I can't sleep on flights at the best of times, so this was a gift from God that night. While slowly drifting in and out of a half slumber I discovered Jeff Alexander's "Come Wander With Me" an otherworldly and beautiful piece of music from an old Twilight Zone I later discovered, unbelievable. I was re-introduced to "Ghosts" by Japan, which I've always loved, but this was the perfect setting for David Sylvian's ether like vocals. There is never a wrong time to hear Minnie Ripperton's "Loving You", always tragic and eternally moving. Other highlights include The Cure, Nino Rota and Lee Hazlewood, all wonderful selections, ... Read More: Rating: - Beautiful. An official Air "Deck Safari"Incorrectly, many people think they are buying another album of Air's own compositions. What is key here is that **these are tracks which influence Air's music**. If you were ever lucky enough to hear Air's Essential Mix or the virtually-impossible-to-find Deck Safari compilations (which were the original Essential mix divided and whose track were the inspiration for Moon Safari), you will know where this is headed. Air have compiled a beautiful mix of widely varied artists. Japan's Ghosts is a little odd and somewhat out of place though wonderful gems such as those by Georges Delerue, Jeff Alexander and Tan Dun (he from the fantastic 'Hero' film score) as well as a melancholy though sublime Lee Hazelwood piece really make a fantastic ... Read More: Rating: - Not what I was expecting, but still love itI got this about a month ago based on the previous Air albums, which I really like. After the first couple of listens I was fairly underwhelmed, probably because it wasn't the 'Air sound' I was expecting. A few more listens changed my mind, although it's difficult explaining why.... It just works. There is a huge range of music on here, from Black Sabbath to classical, through Minne Ripperton, Scott Walker etc. In an age of listening to whole record collections on shuffle, this is one of the very few albums I play in full, start to finish. Easily the best album I've bought this year and the only thing I've liked enough to bother posting a review on. Rating: - Just what you need for a late nightI'd read Mixmag's review and believed that this album would be amazing based on their 5 earphones rating. It's not a thrilling album but it does have a certain eerieness about it and when you do come back from a night out it's an amazing album for reflection. Some of the songs are just nice and chilled, but my pick has to be Jeff Alexander's song and the Black Sabbath inclusion. I'll agree with the above that it's not Air as we know it, but it's still a worthwhile buy for chillax purposes. Rating: - So coolI couldn't disagree more with the above comment. This is not an Air album, with Air songs. But it is an album the two guys from Air have put together to show where they got their ideas and inspiration from. It is very funny to hear these songs because they all have elements of what later would be Air. So when you take the sum of all the songs you can see where they come from. I'll recommend it anytime. |
