Nice summer 90s long grass sleepy not really for a workday vibes. Always forget they did sexy boy. High 3
Sexy boy is transcendent the rest OK
Fav- new star in the sky 3/5
That was a good vibe and great background music. I don't know if I would just sit down and listen to the album though. Or go to a concert by them.
I’ll be honest, never really gave air a good listen to before. That was wrong. Really enjoyed this! 3.4
Was completely unfamiliar with this and assumed at first that it was much more recent. Very much of its time, and reminiscent of Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk, maybe a little Moby, and some of the French EDM that came later.
No sé que notar ponerle. Es música sin letra, me ha gustado pero esperaba algo más al ser el primer albúm
This was cool, a definite vibe kinda album. Not totally my jam, but chill.
Schön und beruhigend
Funny techno sound scapes. Fuels visual imagination. I like it.
This was pleasant enough, especially the instrumental tracks.
i like it, nice to chill to/have in the background
better than anticipated, mellow and listenable
Awesome video game music
Crazy the times we live in. I have a bunch of songs of theirs already in playlists but have never listened to the album or even knew who they were. Real nice easy listening electronica. Good for background. Top albums of all time? I dunno.
You have to be in the right mood for this album. I was irritated by the mix of indie pop songs in between. The instrumental songs were far more enjoyable.
I liked this album a lot considering I have not enjoyed any other electronic music I have tried. The first piece La femme d' argent is very good. I also liked Talisman.
listen to again, might be a 4
This album feels like getting abducted by a ufo, but ultimately being at peace with it. A little odd, but great background music to do your APGOV vocab terms to fav track- talisman
This is possibly era defining music. Not my era, so was not previously familiar with Air beyond Sexy Boy. I think it's a good album with a strong and distinctive sound. Relaxing to listen to without ever being bland.
Not too bad. Quite nice
Harmless, floaty, inoffensive, background music, but background music nonetheless. There was a lot of this kind of thing around at the time - Lemon Jelly were another lot - so I struggle to understand why it's considered essential. It's funny how I seem to know most of the tracks without ever having owned, or actively paid any attention to the album - perhaps it was endlessly fleeced for TV ads, etc, meaning I just soaked it up without ever really intending too. This is ironic, because really, it's the kind of record you only need to listen to once. That said, it was good to hear All I Need again as it reminded me that my car insurance is due.
5/10
mid
I think its very pretty, but like not something you would pick out of a croud. Like a girl who has a okay face but a boring personality. Not my fave ever but not bad. It just didn't really catch my attention. 5/10
The chill out vibe here is just immaculate. The ambient vibe is mostly relaxing and just feeling the music wash over you. It's hardly Air's fault that they're French. This doesn't really feel like an album that's conducive to listening all the way through in the nature of this project, as it's much more of a downtempo background music kind of album. "Sexy Boy" is the stand out track for sure, and some of the latter half of the album kind of blends together into an ambient wash, but I'd definitely relisten to this one in a "come down at the end of the day" kind of way.
I can almost feel it: this album is so so SO close to being an all-time classic but it's just too unobtrusive and plain sounding to make it to that next level. The opener "La femme d'argent" is very promising, what with its 5 minute buildup from a lounge piece to a whirring shoegazey texture later on. The buildup songs are the most interesting to my ears, as "Talisman" does much the same thing as the opener, and "Remember," the following track, has a chopped, glitchy snare that really sticks out amongst the more romantic sounding instrumentation. All the other tracks seem to blend into one another, and the rest of the album comes off as a wide-eyed and fluffly reimagining of Stereolab's Dots and Loops, which did a similar thing in blending lounge instrumentation with krautrock-esque instrumentation. This is a serviceable record for a YouTube algorithm (and I have no doubt it appears there plenty!) but there's much better loungey electronica out there.
A psychedelic ensemble of tracks that feel like the faint yellow spots you see when you stare at the sun for too long.
Not bad not bad, slower beats than I expected for electronic but overall liked it
ny hz norm
Me parecio un álbum interesante conocia el primer tema. Esperaba mas
I listened to most of this album on a run earlier. It might have been too downtempo for a run but nevertheless enjoyable. Extremely vibey and atmospheric. Sexy Boy was my favorite of the tracks, with Talisman coming in right behind. I’ll definitely continue to revisit this classic in the future.
I liked a lot of this, but years ago the song "Remember" was on the playlist for a store I worked at. I HATED that song. I'm wondering if the songs on this album that I like now would become just as obnoxious under the same circumstances. Some music holds up on repeat listens, and some does not.
Favorite Song: La femme d'argent
Cool, funky, dreamlike but ultimately a little underwhelming
5/10 I enjoyed the listen it was very atmospheric. Not sure if I'll revisit.
If I heard this in an elevator I wouldn’t be offended!
Bubbly and spongy
This kind of music was huge where I grew up, so this takes right back to 90's Bristol, driving around town in the back of dad's car. I don't mind the odd song, but the full album was hard to sit through. I do appreciate it though.
Was a nice album with good vibe will listen to it again
Luscious, chill vibes brah…sorry…mon frère
The Air up there is good. These chilled out, slightly daft punks did well with their debut release. I liked some of the songs featuring the female vocals like "Sexy Boy"..."Remember" is top track though. I was floating around the moon with this one. Perfect timing with the Artemis II crew landing today. I let the Spotify just run after album completed and I am really into this relaxing electronica these days. I want to think it is like how past generations moving to the jazz and blues as they age and mellow out. Great record to listen to at work crunching out reports. I will return on future missions with this crew...3.35 stars.
Pretty cool lower-fi electronica album. Nice debut from a french duo that took more of a downbeat chill approach instead of ramping up a bunch electronic dance beats. It doesn't finish as strong as it starts as the back half of the album starts to run out of steam but I still enjoyed the listen for the most part. Probably not much I will take from this album in the long run as a lot of the songs tend to fade together as you get through the listen. It definitely works for some background music while chilling. Decent entry for 1001, glad I listened to Moon Safari. 2.94 stars
First two songs on albums were worldwide hits - def. heard them before otherwise a very late 90s album. Songs that could have easily ended up on the Garden State soundtrack.
Forget all the other albums that I've referred to as atmospheric, this right here is the one that deserves the most, this is the real deal of them all. This is also a very relaxing album, it's full of feelings of tranquillity. With all the positive feelings just mentioned there is a bit of a negative, which is that near the end of the album got a bit boring. So this album is a strong 3, just not quite enough to round it up. Highlight Song/s: "Sexy Boy" and "Remember"
Me gustó mucho la primera canción, va perdiendo fuerza. Me parece un bien album y esta conectado. 1. La femme d'argente
Super chill album. I wouldn't say this is a consistent album, but the highs are spectacular, the lows are just kind of boring.
Air may not impress on this album, but it is a comfy listen.
It's ok, some songs are interesting. Not something I would go for, it almost seems chill out music you'd find in a store. 2,5/5.
This album fits fully into late 90s groove pop. Massive Attack, Beck, Moby, instrumental Beasties. Unfortunately, as the album goes on, is fun groove just gets weaker. It would have been up my alley, but it gets dull after a few tracks.
Sehr instrumental, entspannend.
Meh, no es malo, y definitivamente tiene buenos sonidos, pero no es mi estilo. Es muy instrumental y podría escucharlo, pero no lo añado a mi playlist, ni lo escucharía por voluntad si no fuese un día que quisiera sentirme ochentero. Albúm que escuchaba el viejo manejando el auto cuando volvías de un cumpleañitos medio tarde, sin poder reconocer que música suena, pero sabiendo el tipo.
Very chill electronical music and nice to listen to. Didn't have too much to elevate it to the next level but a pleasant listen regardless.
Enjoyed the vibe of this album, lots of variety with a lot of fuzzy layers and texture. Ultimately nothing special enough to tip it into the 4 range but it was close Very High 3
This was better than most of the modern electronic music we have had. See all my previous comments on modern electronic. Nothing really new or groundbreaking here, but it didn't annoy me as much.
ojalá pudiera dar dos estrellas y media pero dejaré 3 aunque no lo es
Like this one, heard it before, have been a HUGE fan of the first song for maybe a decade
These guys either influenced or took cues from so many people, I hear thievery corporation, bonobo, Tycho, daft punk, Fatboy slim, Moby... Some weak songs but track 1 is a real standout. Sexy Boy is not the best song on album.
At first it was, whaat..I will have to listen this now, but after whole day of listening I like it.
È molto sperimentale e progressive, la prima canzone è una bomba
I enjoyed parts of this, but a lot of it was a bit of a wash. 5/10
Iconic but did not age well
Consistent but not engaging. Would listen in a very specific time, place and mood, but probably not when focusing on a task or preforming any specific activities.
jai bien aimé, je réécouterai volontiers, 3/5. ressemble a neveroddoreven de i monster.
For some reason I always think of Air as a much older band than they are. Pretty sure I've never listened to a full album from them. Easy enough to listen to. Gets your foot tapping from time to time. A few too many laser guns ruin the synth-jazz parts that can be pretty cool. Overall very chill and nice sounding. In the right context, pretty good. For me this is summer day drinking music. Solid 3 star album, good not great. Glad to have checked it out, probably won't make it onto the repeat list beyond a few songs tossed into chill out mixes. Can't really say any specific songs stand out, kind of liked "Talisman". We maybe could have gotten away with just one Air album on the list, I'll have to see if the other one changes my mind when it comes up. Oh, I just looked and the other one is the soundtrack to Virgin Suicides, barely counts.
Nice one. Really like it. I used to know a few of their songs, but I didn’t realize they were theirs
Algunos ritmos medios jazzeros, - Remember buen tema, con voces electronicas tipo daft punk y buen groove - Ce matin-la trompetas curiosas Conclusion final y puntaje Curioso, not bad, buenas trompetas y las voces electroniocas para destacar. Para un sonido de fondo de un espacio tranquilo esta muy bien, no desconcentra ni altera nada lo que hace que se sienta agradable 6/10 porque no me volvio loco ni me suena a algo que pondria por gusto nuevamente.
Super chill album. Great background music. Can't really remember anything from it after listening to it.
Loved this album! Saved it for background music or reading. Looking forward to discovering more like it.
Two spins of this and I’m still not sure what I think. That usually means I’ll like it on the third
Surprising find, I enjoyed this album this morning particularly like the vocals of Beth Hirsch going to her a listen. Will dive a little deeper into Air as well.
nice vibe to this
Ehhh idk, im just not really an electronica guy. This doesnt really do anything for me, 5.8/10
Really cool album. Sounds like a very chill Daft Punk. Unique calming sound and great production
Great living room musicc
Like a softer Daft Punk
un buen album for vibing. Lo pondria while working, driving, playing board games. Me sorprendio la variedad de sonido ya que esperaba algo mas como los Dust Brothers pero super enjoyable en ese sentido. 3/5
Classic!
Pretty jamming 80s pop
I love the song La Femme d'Argent. It's great The challenge with bands working in this mode is coming up with enough ideas to sustain a full album (or even half an album). The tendency is to devolve into bland repetition, soundscapes that don't do much. Some pretty good songs follow Femme, the signature single form this album. By track 5, we're into Soundtrack to Imagined Film territory. The devolution is underway. By track 8, it's like -- was this the soundtrack to the Mary Tyler Moore show? No. Not lively enough. The Courtship of Eddie's Father? A lot of this is solid, but not enough is affirmatively interesting. 3.5 stars.
7/10
***An ok album, instrumental
Liked tubular bells more
Better than expected and I was surprised that I had actually heard one of these songs before. A solid 3 for the album. Wouldn't turn it off if I heard it in the wild.
Cool vibes 3/5
3 great tracks and a load of filler
Slow, electronic, chilled music. The kind of thing that is perfectly pleasant but lacks anything to really cling onto. Some tracks with the female vocals remind me of Madonna. Overall could be a soundtrack to a film, not bad but wouldn't choose to listen again.
Not what I usually go for but I thought it was decent
Álbum agradável. Um trabalho muito bem feito com sintetizadores. KZ D-Fi.
Though I don't usually like electronica, the dream-like quality of the songs won me over. 3
This was really fun and cool to chill out to. I would give it 3.5 if I could!
pretty enjoyable listen, though not my cup of tea
Solid beats that were pretty cool to listen to.
I don’t get that this is a favorite album for many people
I had never heard of this band before, but they seem a lot more influential than I realized. Really cool and good bass lines.
Pretty ok album overall.
145/1001 This is an odd one. It was probably odd when it was released. Sounds like a soundtrack. I’ll play this again sometime. 5/10
i know the point of this is to be low tempo and chill but i bet this would go hard nightcored. this album is simultaneously pleasant background music and also incredibly boring. it's nice to listen to, but nice in the "it's better than no music and i wouldn't want to turn it off but i wouldn't seek it out either" way. it's inoffensive is what it is. you could throw this on at low volume in a lot of different contexts and nobody would have any issue with it, but i also don't think they'd ask what's spinning. it's not that its forgettable; it's simply not something to be focused on.
sasvim neloša vibra. nije moj tip glazbe. nemam nikakvu objektivnu zamjerku
A good album, but only partly something I vibe with. 3.5 stars
This album is one of those albums that I appreciate, but it's not quite my cup of tea. I think the first few tracks are the highlights, and "Sexy Boy" being my personal favorite, but the middle gets a tad boring for me. I do think it finishes nicely with "Le voyage de Pénélope". 3.5 stars.
Pleasant
I guess it was alright. I'm not very big into electronica and more artificial sounding music (As in, sampling and artificial instruments). There are some tracks that caught my attention, and I wouldn't mind listening to them again, such as All I need. I saw some other reviews of this album, and I would have to agree, the bass parts are great. But overall, not quite my cup of tea, but I wouldn't complain if it came up in a road trip playlist.
Another album that seemed to be on constant rotation everywhere at time of release. Lovely Bacharach, Axelrod, and Gainsbourg vibes, but outside the big hits a lot of the tunes are a bit too ephemeral. Nice, however, to finally get an album from somewhere other than the US or UK.
Fun run with an album I had never listened to before start to finish. Engineering is fantastic on this one.
For me the first half of this album was much stronger than the second. Even though I don't usually love instrumentals I was really enjoying the first few songs. But the back half didn't hold my interest nearly as much. Still, this was a pleasant surprise considering I'd never heard of the band before now.
Not at all what I expected and hard for me to get a good grip on. It was pretty enough but I think I was waiting for a little more umpf.
Sounds like what whipped chocolate icing tastes like. Gets a little repetitive though.
Not a genre I normally listen to. It evokes a specific feeling and puts me in the same head space that listening to classical music does. A very smooth production.
No soy mucho de lo instrumental puro para escuchar atentamente. Pero esta muy bueno, destaco creatividad de sonidos y melodías. Me gustaron varias individualmente
pretty good. “sexy boy” is horrible tho.
Album 123. Moon Safari (https://open.spotify.com/album/5dmYtZVJ1bG9RyrZBRrkOA?si=Mqx_Js47SYi-FjTa20MhwQ) — Air (1998) Yeah, I know about it, I heard it partly. I don't know whether I like it or not. It's too chill. It’s definitely original and good, the rest is a matter of taste. 3/5 Liked songs: — All I Need
Funky
It’s this kind of album, which sounds incredibly cool and unique, but you know you won’t find the right "occasion“ to listen to it again.
Pretty good. For the purposes of this project, gonna rate it a little lower, but it's absolutely worth checking out.
pretty nice sounding! in the right setting (up for 20 hours in a club) i could see this taking me to heaven
First listen
90’s Electronic ⭐️New Star in the Sky
Great music to have in the background. Gave off a nice relaxed and calm vibe. Not sure If I'm adding it to my rotation though.
Good rhythm 10/10 cumputer-y and robotic -5 points
Prog is not dead, just hiding,
A good album, I liked Sexy Boy and Kelly Watch the Stars the most.
Good beats and easy background listening for work. Not a ton of lyrics to any of the tracks, but a good variety of sounds.
Musica de ciNe
Good. Listenable. Electronic more chill out than banging.
Vibes are great but the music is boring. Fit perfect for the rainy night walk I eas on. Just not enough happens. I mean things happen but nothing that interesting. I just have nothing else really to say. Its fine but im not into it really.
3.5
Álbum divertido, com atmosferas variadas mas coeso. Vocais nostálgicos embalam algumas das canções e outras são levados pelos instrumentos que contam suas próprias histórias.
sympa mais pas non plus exceptionnel
Had no idea what this was but on listening I realized I'd heard "Sexy Boy" before. Solid background music.
Mmmm. Dreamy.
Что-то после таких отзывов ожидал большего
Sehr chillig, thumbs up!
I almost rate 4, but the song "Kelly Watch the Starts" made me put 3 cause wtf
Ambient music isn’t really my thing but it was good
Lots of instrumentals, good for zoning out at work. Favorite song was Sexy Boy, basic but oh well.
good
Some bangers on this, so many.
Very pleasant music. This is good, although I can’t figure out when I’d ever want to put it on. What mood does it evoke? It’s better than elevator music, but it’s not exciting, or melancholic, or angry, or soothing. It’s just nice music. Nothing remarkable about this at all, but nothing offensive either. Solidly average.
good , 7/10 , one of the songs sounds like massive attack
Nice atmosphere
*1998. French duo - electronic/space pop. *I've heard bits of "Sexy Boy" which is apparently their big international 'hit.' *Interesting listen - it's electronic, but not too much. Wiki described it as 'space pop', which is exactly right - pop music but a little trippy, like you're floating through space. *I kinda like this in small doses. RATING - 6/10
no idea but sure
“All I need’s a little sign To get behind this sun and cast this weight of mine All I need’s a place to find And there I’ll celebrate” I enjoyed this more than I anticipated but it really isn’t my thing. I’m not the biggest fan of Electronica but this is extremely chilled out and I just found it very pleasing to exist in a few of the songs. “All I Need” was a highlight and felt the most like a conventional song. I completely understand why this is lauded the way it is and parts of it were very compelling but much of it just sort of passed me by.
This was a nice album, easy-listening but didn't blow me away. There were some tracks that I'll definitely revisit but probably not the album as a whole. Favourites: La femme d'argent Talisman Ce matin-là
It was good, Not my cup of tea
fantastic and different sound from most 90's that was big. instrumentals are great and thoughtful, sexy boy obviously the reason this album is huge and i don't mind at all. not totally for me, but good for something new.
Smooth beats, intricate, easy to lose yourself in. Nothing really stands out, though. It's all feels like one long continuous track, and it's hard to tell where one stops and the next one starts. My Rating: 3/5
Trippy, but got me focused.
Vibe / Gefühl Sehr chillo millo. Ruhig, warm, schwebend. Hörsituation Gibt mir den Vibe: Stereoanlage an, Augen zu, im Sessel versinken und langsam einschlafen. Wiedererkennung Ein Song war mir bekannt, der Rest nur vage vertraut. Bleibt hängen? Eher nicht - vieles verflüchtigt sich schnell wieder. Kurzfazit Weniger "Songs", mehr Atmosphäre. Will nicht unterhalten, sondern einhüllen. Perfekt für: 🌙 abends, Kopfhörer, Sofa 🚗 Nachtfahrten 🛋️ bewusstes Nichtstun Nicht perfekt für: 🎉 Aufmerksamkeit 🎧 aktives Mithören 📢 „Wow, was für ein Refrain!“ Miniwertung: 🌀 Vibe: 8/10 🧠 Hängengeblieben: 4/10 ❤️ Würde ich wieder hören? Ja, aber situationsabhängig
Pleasant background music. Not hugely for me beyond that.
Pretty decent. Big 90s vibes. Weird but makes sense.
Reminded me a bit of Stereolab but with a little more of an ELO thing. Felt forward thinking in an odd way, in that it felt decidedly retro with its space-age vibe. Made me think of Tame Impala about as much as it did Stereolab. Favorite Tracks: Le Femme d'Argent, Kelly Watch the Stars, Talisman, Ce Matin-La
Quite likes this, it was like “cool” background music. But I did get a little bit bored towards the end…
It was good. Very different for my style but I liked it. Felt like horror games super market music in the best way possible.
Very relaxing production. A couple misses on the album stops it from being 4. Good album.
Nice background music
A man once sang 'Sexy Boy' directly to my friend at pub karaoke and I've never been able to see that song or Air in a serious light since. Giving the album a spin for the first time in likely 20 years though was interesting. Clearly a good album but not for me. Feels like a bag of ideas, all good but not really complimentary, vs a cohesive album. If you said this was a compilation I'd say that makes sense. Its not though so yeah not my cup of tea but nice listen.
Good study music
funky and french
Overall great album, the French Touch era Song I like: Sexy Boy, All I need,You make it easy, Ce matin là.
Album sympathique !
All i need is a classic song. Sexy boy and kelly watch the stars are also good but there is not a lot else. Its passable fare in the main. Music to drift along to i guess
First 3 tracks are great but it does get a bit samey
First I’ve heard and quite a chill start, but sounding a little close to elevator music or a backing to some beachy scene. Hoping it gets going a bit… Ahhh it’s the ‘Sexy Boy’ band. Okay. Otherwise the album is largely pleasant and not much more than that. Some nice variety and layers but nothing that got me excited and feels more like background music, than foreground (3.5)
Musically this isn’t that interesting but the atmospheric textures surrounding these tunes are interesting and help with the overall sound. I think this is kind of derivative of all the great experimental pop/instrumentals from the 50s/60s but it does update the sound in a way. I did enjoy listening to this once but I’m not sure I have any desire to listen to this again therefore I would not consider this essential listening. But I was not offended by this so once again I’m stuck giving this 3 stars since there’s no way to convey a 2.5 star rating.
Good
Good background album to listen to, very chill vibes
I love the French lyrics and songs that’s so cool! I really like how different every track sounds and it’s just overall a really unique and interesting album to listen to. Definitely not something I’ve ever heard before and I like that cause I want to listen to things that are not normal to me!
Familiar tunes, but felt a bit disjointed for an album
Reminds me of High School- real cool guy music and took me back to being cool and on top of new music. Groovy, ambient, electric with enough melody to feel connected to the songs. .
Not bad. Simpsons: No
Interesting but not for me
Interesting proto-lofi album that I can appreciate for being innovative. Pleasant enough to sit through, but lacks a true standout track. Solid all around listen, especially as more laid back background music
Esta meh, no es el mejor álbum de Air, pero sigue siendo disfrutable. La versión blue también es muy buena si se está en el humor correcto.
All I need is a great song … fantastic. Very chilled album I enjoyed this! Rating 3-4 stars, I might change my mind after I hear more albums from the generator
recognized sexy boy from 10 things i hate about you within seconds. such a good song. this isn’t something i would necessarily listen to again, but i see it being good background music
album kinda went by with not a ton sticking out. Sort of that classic first step in french house when it was blowing up in the late 90's 6/10
*Cool ephemeral music
Loved this album, such a good listening experience.
First song reminds me of a late 90’s average spy/heist movie montage where they’re setting up some trap or something. The last third of the album sort of morphs into Daft Punk. Solid album but not sure how much I dig ambient techno sort of stuff.
Strange experience. Got better as you went through the album and it reminded me of a lot of different artists.
What a vibe. Perfect for the first album of this adventure and for a chill work morning.
Gave up on the second track, don’t like instrumental albums ngl,
Cool electronic album. Definitely along the lines of Daft Punk, but chill.
Very mediocre. Simple background or timelapse music. Not great, but not awful. 5/10 2,5/5
Not bad, I'd probably listen to this as background sound but didn't really capture me creatively.
Just a pleasantly chill album. It puts you in the right headspace.
Chill
I’m not used to listening to electronic music, but this was very calm and mellow. Perfect backdrop while I cleaned my room.
That is WAYYY different what i normally listen. There is almost no lyrics in songs, only a few has words. The album is really calm and chill, I think it is a nice album but not my cup of tea.
Kinda old, kinda futuristic, it's a nice atemporal vibe, the songs featuring Beth Hirsch were not my favorites, still great album
Solid, nothing super noteworthy though
Nice mellow sounds. I thought the tracks with Beth Hirsch' vocals were particularly good. I really liked the trombone voice on Ce Matin-la. At times I got bored with some of the instrumental electronics
The first couple of songs left me cold---the overlong first song and "Sexy Boy," a repetitive simpleton of a song. But it really picked up and got interesting, both the instrumentals and the songs with the female vocalist. The chill, loungey thing worked on me and I came to appreciate what they were laying down.
This grew on me as it went on, around Kelly Watch the Stars it got more interesting to me. Probably the kind of thing I'd put on while I'm doing something else, but i like the relaxed vibe of it, prefer this kind of electronica to others
sexyyy boooooyyyyyy
3/5 - Not bad but not my thing
Super fun!
Sin duda te hace querer moverte. Siento que me dan ganas de ponerme a crear, como que te abre la imaginación. Tiene un sonido optimista como que me da esperanza de que al final van a salir bien las cosas. Sin duda te cuenta una historia completa.
La femme d’argent - beautiful song, very spiritual, jazzy and deep solid 8/10 Sexy Boy - I KNOW THAT SONG AWESOME SAUCE, beautiful melody, angelic vocals nothing to hate on, good fucking song 9/10 All i need - the woman’s vocals are very soulyyy i like it, electronics samples go crazy on that one, lyrically beautiful 8/10 Kelly watch the stars - the electronic vocals are so beautiful solid ass song 8/10 Talisman - also great fucking song, jazz bar somewhere in 60’s paris thats how it feels like, downtempo i love it 7/10 Remember - very electronica but still with a good balance, beautiful melody, vocals, very cosmic sounding 8/10 You make it easy - this vocalist really reminds me of Sadé, very soothing 7/10 Cé matin-là - another very jazzy song my vibes, its giving slow mediterranean summer, thats song touched my goddamn soul😔, very simple but yet so good 8/10 New star in the sky - interesting song, nostalgic for some reason, i feel peace 7/10 La voyage de pénélope - oh my days the beginning scratches the itch in my brain 9/10 Overall: im so so gagged, this album is a one big masterpiece 7.9/10
Not exactly my vibe but also kinda fun! I like the mellowness?
Never been big on downtempo cus it’s just too… down. But an alluring smoothness absolutely brings the value of this up to me, I just certainly don’t play it often because there’s so much more interesting music that can be just as mellow to me.
Was a little to slow for me personally
Ante el apuro solo voy a decir que este album me pareció medio simplon a nivel instrumental, me recordó mucho a soundtracks de juegos de los 90s/2000 pero no me generó mucho más que eso, si bien no es del todo mi gusto siento que es agradable al escuchar, logran ese ambiente entre relajado, nostálgico para mi, le pongo un 3 mas tirado para 2. Canción favorita: You make it easy
Siento que comenzó muy bien y a medida que iba avanzando el disco se me hizo un poco monótono. Celebro la creatividad y la idea de hacer algo diferente. Canción fav: la femme d'argent
7.5
Moon Safari sounds like being alone at night, looking out the window, it's a very chill album but sometimes i felt like vibing.
I heard these guys on NPR once in 2012 and thought what I had heard was pretty cool. This album had some good moments, but I was disappointed that it wasn’t as good as what would come later from the band.
Fun, romantic, atmospheric. Like a soundtrack to a farewell looking up at the stars. I wish the sweaty energy of the opening few tracks had been carried into the back half of the album. 3/5
Está bien
Solid vibes. Funny how my taste has changed. I used to love "sexy boy" but skipped it this time.
Pretty nice background music. There is a nice variety of sounds so even if you focus on the songs they are not boring. But I probably would not play it again besides maybe as background music.
Good instrumental but I'm personally not the biggest fan of more electronic music.
Squishy and thick synth that bops along with some pop sugar hooks. Retro-space-age French goodness.
Smooth and yes, spacey. Even a little playful. I liked it.
The opening track kicks in with a cool, steady vibe straight out a 70’s action movie montage. It’s groovy, it’s cool and i like it. This album is s good reminder that Electronic, as a genre, covers a wide variety of music. I didn’t care for Sexy Boy, it felt goofy in a bad way. Kelly Watch the Stars is the first song on this album that feels upbeat. I like this song. While i enjoyed the vibes of the album in general, the rest of the album was just okay. 3/5. I’m not sad i listened to it, but not likely to revisit this one
Enjoyed this quite a bit as far as electronic albums go
Groovy!
A brilliant snapshot of the era this album was released in, reminds me of getting tic tacs stuck up my nose and watching jackie chan movies.

Fun, groovy bass lines. Good not great for me
I can see what they're going for here, I'm glad I stuck it out because there was some interesting variety of stuff, but I think this falls into "too experimental to be fun" for me...
Good debut album, good sound, good vibe. Hard to be more detailed but it's a good listen. I should say good a few more times. Strong three, weak four.
I had actually heard a track on this! Sexy Boy has been used in some movies I think. I don't think this is entirely my jam, but I do like it. It's just a little too chilled out for me. This album feels like I'm in a dentist office waiting room sometimes but the dentist owns a record player and has specific opinions about white jazz. I do like the final track. It's a little funkier, more sonically interesting and crunchier than other tracks. That is something I like about this album. A lot of it sounds like waiting room music, but there's a funkier/psychedelic track here and there that sticks out and none of them sound alike.
Not bad! I'm not an electronic music kind of person usually, but this had a groove to it and made for perfect background chill vibe music while working this morning. Nothing here wows me, but I'd happily listen to it again.
Started off really well. I was expecting something a bit more...well, french. Sadly it didnt hold up the vocal was awful which was a shame, with a better vocal it would have been really good.
Just like everything else French, it’s pretty cool at first but overstays its welcome
One-half easy-listening/elevator mood music, one-half soundtrack to a 90s-era PC transport management sim or Game Boy visual novel. Sexy Boy is a classic.
I surprisingly really liked this??? It had a lot of elements I typically enjoy in my normal day to day listening. The only thing it's really "lacking" is lyrics at some parts, and even then i was just vibing and enjoying the soundscape that was created. I'm genuinely shocked. I really liked "All I Need" and "You Make is Easy", and the last 3 songs we very vibey. Nice, chill, dreamy, a bit of a background feeling to it but when paying attention you can get lost in it. This must've been a very inspirational album for the artists i listen to, I heard hints of Men I Trust, Tame Impala, Caroline Polachek, The Marias, Porter Robinson, even if it was just a tiny crumb of a detail, i can see how this album could've potentially inspired their work in one way or another. At the start of the album i was like, it's cool and all but idk if i see myself coming back to it. Now, I'm really not sure? I don't have a playlist that fits this vibe. I know I want to come back to a few songs, but probably not the album as a whole? I'm gonna have to figure that out. also, obligatory: OMG IT'S THE SONG FROM 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU in a truly fair and just world I'd probably put this at a 4, but since I'm not sure if i will come back to it i'm going to leave it a 3 and pretend it's a 3.5. I want to leave 4+ to things i will 100% go back to.
I know this!
Pretty, not particularly memorable, French. Easy listening on a WFH Monday.
ok
Chill robot music.
90's synth-pop. Not particularly notable, but pleasant. Pitchfork: 5.6 Rolling Stone: n/a
It's good music, man... It can maybe too mellow for some, but works great for me. Lovely keys textures, really warm and analog. Makes this electronic music has much more heart. Towards the end it might get a bit repetitive but beautiful moment appear throughout the entire thing. It's a high high 3
Bit too "easy listening" for what I'd usually listen too but never heard them other than recognising sexy boy. The last song was the highlight of the album for me but unlikely to be something I seek out again
"All I Need" is een classic. Verder ook lekker rustige muziek
Just another ho-hum 3 star album for me…but I did enjoy it more than I expected.
Enjoyable synth pop.
Nice background music.
Nice and vibey, an enjoyable listen. I really liked You Make It Easy. Not sure I'd revisit, but it was chill for a Monday.
This album sounds more like a soundtrack than their actual soundtrack album.
Not normally my style of music that I actively seek out to listen to, but this album had a nice chill ambiant vibe that I enjoyed.
Tis fine
It was okay, some cool electronic stuff, I liked the intro quite a bit though there was alot of boring stuff
varför blev den sämre andra gången vi lyssnade? dock SEXIIIII BOIIIIII
Very laid back, but pretty decent. I like the downtempo electronica vibes. Vocoder use reminds me of Daft Punk, although the songs are a lot more chill-out. 3,7/5
A bit too mellow, but decent as background music.
Heard this before, not really my thing
Was sensation at the time - but hasn’t held up as well.
Another one where I’m not sure why it’s included. Fine but totally mid
It was good, not as good as The Virgin Suicides soundtrack.
Det her overraskede mig positivt. Fint album.
It was aight
It’s ok
7 For sure this one peaks at the first song. Very nice mood though, I’ll give this one another spin some day
The French are really weird with their music. This album has some good stuff on it, and some real head scratchers. "Sexy Boy" sounds like a bad cover of "Stupid Girl" by Garbage, but maybe that's the point? Best song on this album is Ce matin-la. 2.55 / 5 stars
The singles do the heavy lifting. The rest of the album is meh.
Good vintage key sounds. Boring songs.
I forgot this band existed. I used to like it. It's still nice. Back into obscurity.
Perfect soundtrack fodder. I had to google where I knew “Sexy Boy” from. Of course it was “10 things I hate about you” when they are throwing flyers for a party at Bogey Lowenstein’s…. Anyway, It’s decent stuff that fades into the background. No hate from me.
i've definitely listened to this before, so i have a rough idea of what's coming. overall will think i like it. but excited to listen more intentionally - literally air-y, easy listening, groovy I don't have much else to say here. Easy to listen to. Fun, groovy, sexy. Would listen to again, but nothing so mindblowing I need to keep coming back
Really nice ambient stuff. Favorite track: Sexy Boy
A mellow and chill album. It could be mistaken for background music in a film or television show.
6/10
Pretty good. Funky. I liked a handful of the songs but could take or leave the rest.
beth hirsch chiunque essa sia lo salva
Un po' monotono ma grandi pezzi da sottofondo all'interno
Fun and chill and groovy. Kinda slow in parts but remember, talisman, and you make it easy were interesting and cool
Although I’ve never played this album before, I’m certain I’ve heard it in its entirety just from time spent in hotel lobbies and overpriced bars with floor-to-ceiling windows in years gone by.
Interesting, enjoyed some of it.
Solid 3.5! Really cool sound
The opening track of this album is perfect. From it's groovy bassline to the jazzy keyboard it sets the bar for the record enormously high. Unfortunately the rest of the album then fails to reach that bar. While the closing track is strong is well, most of the middle of the album felt like it was trying to put me to sleep. There were moments that stood out, but overall I found the repetitive vocals weak and most of the instrumentation just became background noise. Overall 3, maybe 3.5. There was enough there I may have to give it a relisten though.
Me gustó, y el anterior también. Muy fresco aunque muy tranqui. Nota: 3.5
Maybe we need more of this kind of chill, atmospheric music these days. It's hard for me to imagine being all in on something like this, but something for the focus and work playlist? Sure.
This album meant a lot to me in the early 00s, but barely registers now. It's a lot of style and vibes not backed up by anything terribly sophisticated or complex musically. A whole lot of bands iterated on the same types of sounds Air was playing with and many of them created transcendent work -- my beloved DJ Koze of course, but also Daft Punk, The Knife, and especially Hot Chip. Even some of their contemporaries like Morcheeba, Zero 7, Röyksopp, and Groove Armada were making far more interesting work from similar tools. It still has its moments, but I'm not convinced its remained essential as anything other than background music at hipster dinner parties (though it's got that down in spades.) I far prefer their soundtrack for Sophia Coppola's "The Virgin Suicides," which also appears on this list, and their follow-up, "Talkie Walkie," which doesn't.
Jim Carrey
An odd mix of pop, new age French
Chill nästan lite interlude vibes
המון המון אנרגיה ורוח מרד כמו שאופייני לקלאש, בנוסף לשילוב די מגניב של כמה שירים שונים אבל עדיין לא מעוצב עד הסוף בשלב הזה
Peaceful. It's... fine.
decent
Fun, foamy, a good ambient album. Perhaps not distinct enough considering the current state of ambience. But considering it's nearly 40 years ago, that's influential then, right?
a little weird, but some were fine. might listen again
Not bad
Não curti tanto
What I listened to was enjoyable enough
3.5 for me
Favorites: La femme d'argent, Talisman, Remember. An extended jam - I like it, it's ambient and atmospheric and groove-able, but some of the grooves do overstay their welcome just a tiny bit. But perfectly listenable!
Cool background music.
Chill
Easy going and quite magical. Not super duoer mind blowing though.
Sounds 90s, a little boring, not interested
I can't think of a time where I've heard finer elevator music. Every song seemed to be set to the part of a movie where the camera pans over a city scape. Granted another time or mindset and I could enjoy it. But after the gym this is not it
Sexy Boy
More experimental and artsy than genuinely enjoyable, but still intriguing in this artsiness Personally I'll keep Portishead and the world can keep this one
I suppose you could call this chill out music. Sexy Boy is a very famous tune although not necessarily reflective of the rest of the album. Probably a bit slow for me. Four stars for it's quality but three for enjoyment.
