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.
- Ik kende verassend genoeg enkele nummers - 0 nummers toegevoegd aan MMMM - 0 nummer al toegevoegd aan MMMM
Perfect album for a Sunday afternoon while taking a stroll with nature
La Femme d'argent 3.7 Sexy Boy 3.5 All I Need 3.3 Kelly Watch the Stars 3.5 Talisman 3.4 Remember 3.2 You Make It Easy 3 Ce matin la 3.2 New Star in the Sky 3.3 Le Voyage de Penelope 3.4 Score: 3.35
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.
This was a good listen and a new band for me. Some of the songs were a bit long, but easy music to throw on.
Electronic, maybe with earphones
This is a pretty good one. I go back to it every once in awhile. It's never been a banger for me but I can see where some folks would love it. A solid 3-star album.
Музыка для раскумара
French vibes jazz Again not my style
Chill
Was an okay listen just not my thing
Okay I listened to this one like three times just to be sure but for whatever reason, it just was not landing with me very well? It's fine. No real issues with it. Just not really higher for me
As far as instrumental music, this is not a bad album.
I like this. Vivek and chill, cool bass lines.
Sexy boy will always be a banger, but listening to this album I realized why that was the only song I knew from it. The rest feels forgettable. Ok background music. 2.5
Some excellent moments, but a little low key overall
A very smart, sophisticated album with some killer singles which really, really stand out. Its much more relaxed than other downtempo records I'm used to which usually maintain a certain kind of drive all the way through. Air are happy to pull almost everything out of the mix at points and let the listener float.
An ok mix, reminded me of 10 things I hate about you. Some groovy background listening.
Kind of just the 2 singles and then some other listenable but not super impactful tracks. It's a good background album after the first two tracks but I don't know if its worth having on the list
Cool background vibes. That is all.
I chucked on today’s album after a particularly busy day. This was a lovely soundtrack to unwind to. Interesting textures, and well sequenced synths. C’est très bien. Haut 3 ✨
Great background music for working/exercise but nothing too memorable. Maybe I just wasn’t there to know how groundbreaking this was for the time. French electronica is really good tho
Surprisingly, tracks I recognize (Kelly watch the stars, All I need, Sexy boy)
This was my first album, and I had never heard of this group before. There was much to like about this album. I dug a few of the instrumentals with French titles particularly.
I recognise a lot of these. Was atmospheric and enjoyable even if a little repetitive
First of all, "La femme d'argent" is an absolute classic. Sounded very different to anything else in the mainstream at that time. I'd forgotten how many great songs are on this album. Everything sounds quite 70s, even if there's a lot of electronica and vocal effects. The first half of the album has a pretty amazing 6 song run. Unfortunately, the second half is a bit low energy after that. No surprise that I'm less familiar with the songs in the second half - back in the 90s, I probably zoned out or bailed after "Remember". Still a really great album overall that holds up very well.
Need to listen again. 3.5
Loved the vibe of this album. Led to listening to other really good artists. This album was good bgm.
3/5 esta ricio
Really like this electronic and kinda futuristic album Fav song - You Make It Easy 3/5
Very daft punk, atmospheric, not my typical taste but still pleasing to the ear
really good background music
not forefront but not bad
Mellow, maybe I was just in the wrong mood for this. I can see how it is good but today was not the day for it. 3?
The music i s great background music and reminds me of the void fish music from TAZ. Love it
Quite good. Not sure I'd buy the record (not today) but I liked what I listened to.
It was okay. Didn't do anything wrong, just wasn't for me. Completely fine to have on in the background
Absolute peak electro vibe.
Not really my deal
It is really good, but the more I listened, the less excited I was by it. Started as a 4 and ended up feeling like a 3.
3.5
I didn't expect this album to be great, but it was actually pretty nice. It mainly sounded like background music for movies, but it is some pretty cool movie background music. The other songs sounded like it was just LoFi but slightly different, which wasn't too bad either. Overall, it was a pretty decent experience.
cool but we had crazier albums in the late 90s
More like Soon Mafari, am I right?
Virkelig nogle gode sange på, god vibe. Men ikke unskippable.
The album has some interesting songs on it most of which are really catchy. The album does become monotonous after a while.
I can tell that this album is pretty well produced, I just don't think it is my jam.
fucking classic, but feels a little dated. still important for understanding this genre of beast driven dreamscape sound moments.
Never heard of these guys, but somehow know at least half the tracks on this album. Respect. But also, your band name sucks.
I’m not much for this type of music. Atmospheric. Chill. Just ok.
I enjoyed the songs with no vocals a lot more than the ones with vocals. This was quite pleasant, although at times it did feel like listening to the background music on a video game. In small doses this was excellent, as a full album it wasn't quite as a effective.
Lyder som Kraftwerks svar på et soundtrack til Frutiger Aero. Ikke noget jeg kommer til at lytte til igen, men det var da anderledes og spændende at lytte til.
Moon Safari is a classic example of downtempo music. It’s light, groovy and rather inventive. I think I read somewhere that this album has music that makes everything seem cooler and more fashionable than it is actually is. Accurate description if I say so myself. However, it’s not the kind of music I find myself returning to often.
3.5
love sexy boy
This was a pretty decent album, nothing amazing but it did have a song that I recognized from a movie but I can't remember which one lol
3,5
Yet again, I'm not much for instrumentals of any variety. This is more unique, at least, thanks to feeling like a really early entry into electronic instrumental music; as I listened I thought to myself, "This just isn't for me, but I bet that the guys from Daft Punk love this." Which says a lot about the overall quality of what's here. All in all, I didn't hate it and took away a few good songs. Favorite songs: You Make It Easy Remember
"Moon Safari was acclaimed by critics. It is credited with setting the stage for the budding downtempo music style." They should have written some down tempo kill songs.
Great
I…think it’s okay. 3/5
A vibe but nothing too exciting
Better than I expected, but still had to skip a few. I know Sexy Boy from 10 Things I Hate About You, and it felt like it was all over the place. That late 90s, dreamy, hopeless sound. Not keen on many of the rest of the tracks. Le Voyage de Penelope is a nice ender. I'm marking it down a bit as 4 is too high a score; I won't return. Never been on a safari.
The bass in this album is the best part about the entire thing. I am pretty sure the first track (La femme d'argent) is in every heist movie made in the last 20 years. This album takes you on a bit of a journey. Each track is almost a different genre, while still keeping it together. A few tracks with vocals do get a bit too repetitive and can be annoying at times.
Not good, but not bad either — kind of mid.
I wanted to like this more, because I’m vaguely aware of its reputation as a “good” electronic album, and yeah, it’s one of the better ones I’ve heard. But when I’ve been inundated by just the shittiest electronic albums on end for the past 2 years because of this list (I literally got one the day before this album), it just kinda drags this (okay) one down. It’s nice. Pleasant enough. I actually listened to it a couple times to see if it would grow on me - and, not really!
Lovely as background music, but not sure I'd go back to it. A couple of songs with piano parts I'd be keen to get more into
3.5 good cafe music
The first album that's completely new to me! Really intriguing, low-volume electronic music. I like the vibe more than I like the songs themselves, but in places it's very cool. The opening track especially. 3/5.
Pleasant enough but quite backroom music-y. Might be a grower
not that bad
Super
Like a good tarte tatin, this album is all about the layers. Shimmering synths, deep pads, sizzling keys and velvet bass drape themselves over pristine beats. Ready for something else after a few tracks, though! Alors, c'est cinematique!
Chill but average
An elegant pop delivery. Great record!
Fine
Air Some cool parts and grooves. A lot of this 90’s electronic stuff sounds like a soundtrack. It’s cool for a while but can get kinda boring melodically and dynamically. I liked the vocal songs a bit more.
This album doesnt feel important or memorable in any way. Its like background music vibes for a lounge or something. Nothing bad about it it just feels really safe and kind of generic. Maybe it hit different when it came out. 2.7?
I thought this was pleasant to listen to but never gonna think about it again
Adequate electronic music.
As a long time listener of the band, hearing this album from start to finish has really emphasized to me what a great album '10 000 Hz Legend' is. Moon Safari is a great debut and features some iconic songs, but it also suffers from the lounge/bossanova sound that everyone was doing at the time. Their second album is where Air really shone as artists.
Ok listen. Nothing to write home about but nice chill music.
Not bad
Buen disco ambiental. Se agradece la colaboración vocal para dar más variedad a un buen l.p.
Pretty decent instrumentals, but when I think of 1,000 albums that I have to listen to I'm wondering how this managed to make the cut. It's all right but not world-shattering.
