Moon Safari 10 Year Edition

Search: Kelly Watch The Stars
by: Air

Release Date April 14, 2008
Detached, hypnotic, and retro (much like Pink Floyd's song "Breathe" from the Dark Side Of The Moon--and yet not Pink Floyd) is how I would describe the sound of this debut CD. Released in 1988, Moon Safari is the first release from the Surrender Monkeys-French electronica duo Air, consisting of Nicolas Godingodiva and Jean-Benoît Dunckelly. (The name "Air" is an acronym for Amour, Imagination, Rêve -- How life changing is that !)

Not only is Air's music a chillout blend of Love, Imagination, and Dreams, but it is a light blend of psychedelic musical influences (including Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, and Jean Michel Jarre and other obscure retro stuff).

'Kelly Watch The Stars' is another great song - the favourite song of many an Air fan. The way it uses the synthesizer effects is simple but well-arranged in the smallest detail.

At the lower end of the scale are the two songs on which Beth Hirsch sings the lead vocals. Her far to fragile and ... Read More:

All I Need

Search: Kelly Watch The Stars

Release Date July 27, 1998
A phenomenal single, alas in edited form. However the real gem here is the Moog Cookbook remix - done by the guys who work (or worked) with Beck.
