$40.00
In correlation with The Virgin Suicides: 15th Anniversary Deluxe Edition box set and 180g vinyl reissue, Warner/Parlophone will also be releasing Air’s five album discography on remastered 180-gram vinyl with original artwork, including their first EP Premiers Symptômes (1997), Moon Safari (1998), 10,000 Hz Legend (2001), Talkie Walkie (2004) and Pocket Symphony (2007).
1998’s Moon Safari is the acclaimed full-length debut from French postmodern electro duo Air – acronym for “Amour, Imagination, Reve” (love, imagination, dream) – comprised of sound auteurs Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel. The pair originally recorded Moon Safari’s basic tracks on a Fostex D80 in Saint-Nom and then flushed the songs out in Gang Studios in Paris while the album’s strings were arranged by music legend David Whitaker at Abbey Road in London.
Highlighted by lush arrangements and the stylistic electronic compositions “Sexy Boy” and “Kelly Watch the Stars,” Moon Safari’s ethereal space-pop not only put Air on the musical map, but it distinguished the duo as gifted musicians and songwriters who only sounded like producers.
