- 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.

- More than just a CD
Air 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!
Rating: - Music in zero gravity
Genuinely classic albums of the last twenty years are, in my opinion, hideously rare. 'Moon Safari' qualifies partly by having that important quality of unique feel, a world of its own. Godin and Dunckel don't hit you head on, they touch you gently in all the sensitive areas and surprise you from different directions. Inspired keyboard and bass runs and delightful rhythms pour out to create a bewitching, layered sound. Anyone who opens a pop album with a seven-minute instrumental is asking for trouble, but on La Femme D'Argent the bassline acts like a vocal. This sensual piece sounds out of time, about twenty years late, but it's gorgeous. The same can be said of the obvious hit, 'Sexy Boy', which sounds in places as if it comes from the same cloth as other late 1970s electronic pop hits such as 'Magic Fly'.
Following two such diverse tracks with something as breathtaking is difficult but they manage it with the giddy 'All I Need'. Using Beth Hirsch, whoever she is, for the vocal on this and 'You Make It Easy' is an inspired move. These are probably the best tracks but the album as a whole is a delight, even if they do borrow rather blatantly from The Beach Boys on 'Remember'.
Rating: - I pity anyone who hasn't got a copy of this cd.
Without a doubt Moon Safari has firmly lodged itself in my top ten albums of all time. With each listen it just seems to get better and better and the songs are so rich in depth that there is always something new to be heard. Personal favourites are La Femme D'Argent, Kelly Watch The Stars, All I Need and New Star In The Sky- but each song in it's own way is beautiful. I think its a rare quality in a cd when you find that you can listen from start to finish without the temptation to skip eating away at you and I think Moon Safai definately has that quality.
Regardless of your musical allegiance I'd advise anyone who knows anything about music to get a copy of this cd or risk being the object of pity amongst the rest of us who worship the ground that Air walk on.
What are you waiting for??
Rating: - Just buy it!
I bought this album speculatively because it had been recommended to me by the automated Amazon system. On reading the other reviews it sounded like a great album and, when it arrived, I was not disappointed.
La Femme d'Argent& relaxes you into your seat/bed/cell in 7 minutes of musical perfection which, although it can play unobtrusively in the background, demands that every chord and note is listened to, and absorbed. Tracks like this, and the beautiful Ce Matin La are contrasted by the poppy, high-bass Sexy Boy.
The album is consistent in the relaxed, but by no means easy-listening nature of the tracks, but also wonderfully diverse in its styles. The introduction of a female voice on All I Need and You Make it Easytakes the emphasis off the instrumentalists, and allows them to play with a beautiful set of vocal harmonies.
If you want dinner party music, do not buy this album - it's just too good to be played in the background.
