Moon Safari

Best wel van genoten.

5/10 I enjoyed the listen it was very atmospheric. Not sure if I'll revisit.

Daft Punks twin brother, Tame Impalas Father, and it all belongs in a movie

Rate: 8/10 Es una vibra. Probablemente si eres una persona a la que le gusta Daft Punk y The Strokes te puede gustar este album.

Tranca, me gustó. Lo escucharía mientras dibujo o diseño.

Excellent album

Fantastic, mesmerising, an absolute vibe, ahead of its time, perfection from beginning to end.

Like an epsom salt bath, feeling detoxified. Many bangers I already knew from hearing elsewhere... (hospital show opening credits song?) Good for a chill Saturday morning, or relaxed midnight smokey living room

Never heard of Air, but holy what an album. It's great. Great electronic tracks, with really good melodies and rhythms. The opening track was really cool, the Beth Hirsch songs were great, and the album works real well as a set piece or as individual songs. Had no expectations heading into it, but caught me way off guard.

If I heard this in an elevator I wouldn’t be offended!

I had this on CD as soon as it came out, and it marked me out as the exact kind of sophisticated, pan-genre, little hipster that I otherwise singularly failed to be. Air were doing a lot of heavy lifting. Still, whatever, I loved it then and I really like it now. It's got that beautiful breathy tone to it, that simultaneously feels like the future and also some kind of analogue past.

Bubbly and spongy

meh, dont like it

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.

Tech and advandced music.

This album is suchhh a joy to listen to. It literally feels like walking across clouds. La femme d’argent is like if someone took elevator music and tweaked it until it was a 10/10 song. Little sound effects and small details are sprinkled throughout the songs and make them very interesting 🙂‍↕️ it’s like the equivalent of eating food with a cool texture. This album is also the perfect mix of easy to listen to and interesting. And super catchy! I love it sm. Fav songs: sexy boy, Kelly watch the stars, remember, ce matin-lá

Actually a bit cool, 7/10

Was a nice album with good vibe will listen to it again

Luscious, chill vibes brah…sorry…mon frère

full instrumental frances, tiene sus cositas pero 2/5

Vengo del rock pesado, y esto me hizo bajar mil cambios. Sin dudas un álbum que escucharia repetidas veces en momentos de tranquilidad. Melodías armoniosas, frescas, nuevas.

A good album to put as background music. I feel like I'm on a journey, a chill journey. Doesn't feel rushed and flows/blends well today. Funky and calm.

Moon Safari is out there. Not familiar with downtempo electronica so thanks to The 1001 Must Hear List for this entry. Super mellow, but somehow cool at the same time. All tracks good, though kinda indiscernible to me. Like soft Air. (3.75*s) If there’s ever a night I can’t fall asleep, I’m gonna check out Air Radio.

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.

I only know Sexy Boy. Iconic. This album casually preceded the virgin suicides score. I can’t believe sexy boy is ONLY ft in 10 things is that possible? Truly so good. Ce matin-la. How is this song so lovely? Is this a needle drop somewhere? It feels like it’s engrained in me and yet. I’m loving this album. Do I 5 star it? Lemme listen to the song exploder episode. So French. They talk about writing music at the same piano 😭

Space fantasy, was neat

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

Дуже не подобається пісня Sexy Boys, просто буеее. Загалом стильна музика, хороші фіти з вокалісткою (кращі пісні). Я б поставив 3.5.

Якраз нещодавно слухав. Ідеальний альбом, неймовірно стильний гурт, хз що додати. 4.5, але тут можна і 5 поставити.

a frente do seu tempo mas ainda ainda n sou muito fã de só instrumental le voyage de penelope foi minha música favorita sexyy booooooy

Super chill album. I wouldn't say this is a consistent album, but the highs are spectacular, the lows are just kind of boring.

Another cool electronic album in this experience and a chill, jazzy one at that. Another one that is perfect for early morning drives and one that could accompany "Smoker's Delight" on a party playlist. Something that could disappear into the background but when you do catch part of it you find yourself bopping along. I enjoyed this one way more than I thought I was going to. Sometimes a bit one note but it doesn't ruin the entire experience for me. 3.5/5 rounded up to a 4

Fun. Relaxing. Sexy and cool.

Air may not impress on this album, but it is a comfy listen.

A late-90s classic, really captures the loungy zeitgeist of the time. But it's also filled with great tracks that have aged surprisingly well, at least to my ears that were contemporary to the original release.

I'm all in for francophone weirdness right now, so I was glad to see this. This album is very chill. I loved the one exception to that, "Sexy Boy"; I ended up playing that one twice and watching the amusing video twice, too. 4 stars

I was a little surprised when I saw that Massive Attack was in their similar artists, I thought it was gonna be more like Daft Punk. But I really liked this, I thought there was a lot of really fun and cool sounds on here. It was a really relaxing listen, and the second half of the album really flew by. I think these guys should get a lot more credit as far as being an electronic duo from France. They're top 3 for sure.

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 is great end to end, every track is essential, each so melodic and innovative enough to be interesting. I need to listen to this way more often. Great production and sound quality as well.

Sus canciones transmiten calma y tienen sonidos suaves que lo hacen diferente a otros álbumes. En mi opinión, es un álbum muy original y agradable para escuchar con calma.

Can’t believe someone would listen to this more than once. And the first time, they must have forced themselves to.

really good

Classic!

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.

I liked the sound

Es muy soundtrack

Sehr instrumental, entspannend.

Really chill. I listened while i was working and i didn't have any distraction

Una experiencia inmersiva y profundamente relajante. El disco destaca por sus atmósferas calmas, una instrumentación impecable y melodías excelentes. Tiene un toque psicodélico y una vibra electrónica que evoca a Daft Punk, pero llevado a una frecuencia mucho más pausada (downtempo). A pesar de su tempo lento, jamás pierde el ritmo. Un sólido y muy merecido 5/5.

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.

the album is not bad but its not something i would listen to on a daily basis, some songs give off draft punk vibes while others sade, which isn't bad its just not really the vibe im going for right now

Love this shit

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.

Didn't think I'd know anything on this album but immediately recognised the first track. Wait... I know the second track too... and the third track... I'm so confused. OK. I don't know track 4. Good. I was worried there that I was a secret French-electronica-enjoyer. As for opinions, besides being confused about where I know all of this music from, I did actually quite enjoy the listen - which was a shock considering it's French. Definitely good easy-listening background music. I'd say it's not something I'd necessarily go back to, but ... I obviously have? I know I'm going to regret this but I think I'm going to give it a low 4.

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

I liked this. Mellow electronic with enough originality to keep me interested.

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

Trip pop airy waves from the 90s

Sometimes jazzy, sometimes groovy, sometimes really electronic. It was fun while it lasted.

Like this one, heard it before, have been a HUGE fan of the first song for maybe a decade

Of course!

Sexy boy adds a whole star on its own

Nothing to write home about

Weird album, very chill, but almost sounded like lift music when I began tuning out, which was quite often. There is nothing wrong with it but i couldn't get into it, so it's a 1/5 for me. Kelly Watch the Stars was probably pick of the bunch for me in an innocuous album

4/5

!!5+

FAVS (top 3): sexy boy, remember, le voyage de penelope mençoes honrosas: all i need, kelly watch the stars, you make it easy gente curti um album bem legal, me deu uma sensaçao boa (?) KKKKKK n vo ta sabendo explicar so sentindo pra saber nota final: 4/5

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.

I've never heard smth as magical as this

Chill vibes but nothing groundbreaking, good music to have on while working

a nice album. reminds me of Daft Punk. really unique and interesting instrumentals. I think I've heard some songs from it on the radio a couple of times best tracks imo: la femme d'argent, remember, you make it easy, new star in the skyk, le voyage de Penelope

At first it was, whaat..I will have to listen this now, but after whole day of listening I like it.

Such a good album, but wanders a bit at the end. I recall the wee hours watching Rage and seeing these guys. Perfect for when you got home and were winding down!

My first album in this generator and I was blown away!

È molto sperimentale e progressive, la prima canzone è una bomba

A diamond amongst the rough. My ears are so happy to have heard this today. Decades too late from release but right songs at the right time.

I wasn't expecting to like this album but I was pleasantly surprised. It sounds "of the future". It sounds like something that would be heard in a spaceship lounge while drinking cocktails. The songs are spacious and they create this unsettling atmosphere. A great album. Highlights: La femme d'argent Sexy Boy All I Need You Make It Easy

I enjoyed parts of this, but a lot of it was a bit of a wash. 5/10

experimental ambient electronic, background

Would listen to again 5/5

sucked

Super alt, esta bien para una sesión lo-fi. No lo escucharía en un día a día

Iconic but did not age well

Interesting, but not for me.

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.

great one to revisit narrates the mundane tasks of my morning birthday present to myself (cd)

jai bien aimé, je réécouterai volontiers, 3/5. ressemble a neveroddoreven de i monster.

My rating 2.3

Lovely stuff 4.

absolutely a masterpiece

Such an enthralling listen. It is a great album and a worthy inclusion to this list. 9/10 [KEEP]

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

Sonidos espaciales atmosféricos donde casi siempre solo son instrumentales (a lo daft punk) 192khz

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.

Peak

Super chill album. Great background music. Can't really remember anything from it after listening to it.

4/5 Super vibey, not a lot of lyrics which I ended up enjoying a lot as a break from the other albums so far. Very French, which some people dislike but I enjoy quite a bit. It has spy movie vibes.

Like a 3.5, mostly background noise but good background noise. 4/5 overall as I'll round up to be nice.

No tengo nada para opinar al respecto.

Great sounds, a lot with synths! Interesting and out of common.

Todo casi instrumental,buena música pero no me gustó, me aburrió bastante

Loved this album! Saved it for background music or reading. Looking forward to discovering more like it.

not for me

Für mich jetzt nichts weltbewegendes. Aber gut zum anhören, kannte einige Lieder ohne den Namen der Band zu kennen. Kann man sich geben!

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.

Meh

nice vibe to this

Very relaxing album, has its strong points and weaker ones. Strong opening of the album - first 3 songs. Weaker towards the end. 8.5/10

Pure vibes!

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

Pretty solid lofi style chill music. Background stuff

Great living room musicc

I really enjoyed this album! Moon safari is the perfect title. I have never heard of it until this project. Probably the best electronic music I have heard in awhile.

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

Still one of my favorites!

Surprisingly fun! The first song hits. I feel like I’m in a lounge or bar in space.

Electronic Ambient Downtempo from France

Brilliant for background concentration music

Such a vibe, such great sounds.... and the songs are generally pretty good. I like it. This album feels like it deserves more than a three but less than a four - I wish we had a ten star rating system, or half points, or something. I feel like 3 stars just doesn't cut it but - here we are - ya know what screw it - FOUR STARS

I never make space in my life to listen to music like this. I like it though, very relaxing.

This album would have gone crazy if it was like your second time smoking weed.

EPIC! great album.

Have listened twice before. Loved it on first listen.

Sin palabras. Me encanta

Great background music.

Classic!

Amateur experimental electronica music. Ok, but not good.

A literal safari out of this world - One of my favourite albums of all time.

Grei start, så kjedelig

Pretty jamming 80s pop

Great ambiances

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

Bom álbum!

This is pretty cool! It's a light and airy sounding combination of dance music, dream pop, and psych. The songs are pretty good, but this feels more like an atmosphere album to me. This is a really pleasant listen, with a cool instrumental palette, good production, and pretty memorable songs. It's not an album I have a ton to say about, but I thoroughly enjoyed my time regardless.

***An ok album, instrumental

Track 1- SYNTH Track 2- know from song track of some forgotten movie I am sure, so far thinking this album would really complement the setting of driving a convertible done the winding coast roads of the countryside during dusk Or in a French club surround by dancing unbelievable sexy people I’ll take either one tbh Track 3- making me crave a cigarette Track 4- great continual vibe through each track, really uniform in aesthetic so far Track 5- psychedelic tech jazz, great build, nearly orchestral ending, feels like the sound track to a bond movie Track 6- daft punk on vocals with Casper the ghost harmonies Track 7- I’m not quite a fan of this track, blended more to a sort of ballad with an orchestra accompaniment that also include a synth and sound board, found it slightly off the vibe of the others Track 8- elevator music Track 9- making me crave a cigarette, I enjoy the vast majority of time being spent of the instrumental parts of the whole album Track 10- sexy instrumental, great ending to the album Overall album- Looking for a chill but vibes backing music to a dinner, or intimate soundtrack to add to a bottle of wine, this would be a good shout Great cover, great album name Perfected the sound of a orchestral psychedelic French duo from the 90s

Groovy

Ну такое, музыка 90х мне в большинстве случаев не нравилась, этот альбом подтвердил мнение

Liked tubular bells more

I was honestly surprised to have found this pleasant. I wouldn't listen to it all the time but I could see times when I would. As a general cynic of this genre, such carries a lot of weight. Maybe a bit generous here but I'll give it some love.

Aptly titled, this spacey little number is truly a calm and soothing voyage into the vastness of your subconscious - or the roadmap to one fuggin' vibrant drug trip. Dealer's choice, but either way the destination is obscured, and the air is potent with incense. Typically records like these, exploring space rather than conquering it, can lose my interest, and it's true that some tracks dance on the precipice of doing just that, but for this guy? As soon as the moment feels road worn, your course is gently adjusted, aiming you towards another moment of relief. Overall, the sound is a bit bland, but perhaps that's by design. The intent and execution line up here. Enjoyable experience!

I went into this thinking I knew nothing about any of it, come to find out I recognized a handful of tracks from 90s movies (Go, 10 Things I Hate About You). I left thinking that maybe I did have this album, or at least a few of the songs, in rotation at some point. This album came up at the perfect time today! I was in the mood to listen to something chill and interesting, but not distracting. Bingo bango, boys. Bonus points because it unearthed a long lost song, "You Make It Easy", that I loved in high school and had completely forgotten about!

This sounds to sweet and fresh to me, it always makes me feel recharged.

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.

Sort of psychedelic mumbo jumbo. Don’t really get it…

This album really devolved for me and went from a 3 to a 2. It turns into some really soft dated electronica that I just find dull to listen to

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.

Pleasant enough, but nothing stood out.

Not what I usually go for but I thought it was decent

An extremely enjoyable album with such chill electronica soundscapes that I am surprised I have never listened to the artist before

Belting record that has a sound of its own. Takes me back to a time and place. Front-loaded with the best stuff.

Álbum agradável. Um trabalho muito bem feito com sintetizadores. KZ D-Fi.

Is just such a solid album in its genere. Flows effortlessly

Funky, fresh, good vibes tunes

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

Great album

Great relaxed sound, good memories. I like it more than Daft Punk

Solid beats that were pretty cool to listen to.

Dare I say this is a 4? This album was short and fun and diverse.

I loved the first song. It went down from there

some songs were ok (the known ones) others were like tv intermissions or background music for ads

Pareltje, ligt nog geregeld op

I don’t get that this is a favorite album for many people

Fun electronica, not like the boring ones. Favorite track: all i need other picks: le femme d'argent, sexy boy, ce matin-la

I had never heard of this band before, but they seem a lot more influential than I realized. Really cool and good bass lines.

Music only a music critic could love

In a way very similar to Play by Moby (the previous album), in that each song just coasts along on its vibe, but every song is so immaculately constructed that I don't care. Love Kelly Watch the Stars, Ce matin là, and La Femme d'argent

goated fricking album so fricking chill and awesome

Lush sounding, an album that can be enjoyed at every mood, what a gem!

Great album.

Pretty ok album overall.

this is the most peaceful I've felt this week. god damn it french. do yall think if the bassline of new star in the sky is single

Air remain a favourite band of mine. This is just a perfect album. Has aged wonderfully as well. Easy 5

Bored

Wow, I hadn't heard of Air or this album, but REALLY enjoyed this one! I'll definitely add it to my regular rotation.

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.

I will say its a bit unfortunate when an album peaks at its first song, that said I really liked this album. This album is a calming vibe though, I really liked it for the most part. Electronic music is something I always thought I rarely liked but the more I go into this list the more I realize that's not the case. The issue with the genre is simply I find it quite inconsistent from album to album. I will say, the slow pace and dreaminess of this album may make for good background music, but sitting through and listening to the whole thing did feel a bit tiring towards the end. But I can hardly fault it for that, I just don't think that's the way this type of album is meant to be listened to.

sasvim neloša vibra. nije moj tip glazbe. nemam nikakvu objektivnu zamjerku

3.5

*Moon Safari* This was actually my fifth favorite album on the 98 dive. I absolutely love the textures of it. Part electronica , part new age, part soft jazz, part pseudo funk, and a little bit of ELO. They are a band that I've been meaning to do a dive on, but never have. Their soundtrack to *The Virgin Suicides* was my entry point to the band, which I really loved as well, and this backs that assessment up. (9.4) ★★★★½

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.

4.5

Bit of a safe normie recommendation for electronica but still a classic of the genre nonetheless. The first 3 tracks are so sumptuous, dreamy, iconic, organic, classic and chill and although the rest of the album is a bit scatty n sketchy there are relaxed delicious hints of Gainsbourg, Daft Punk, Bacharach and even Boards Of Canada adjacentness. As great as the first 3 songs are the rest of it is a tad of a letdown in comparison and I do find myself often going to Simple Things by Zero 7 which has the none-more-chill standout In The Waiting Line.

Pleasant

Actual Rating: 4.5/5

Right up my alley.

Pretty good! The title of this album is as accurate as it gets. Feels like a slow trip through space, while still being quite entertaining. Lots of synth and good for background music, though not my personal vibe. A solid 7/10

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.

Sale, i dont usually listen this genre but ok

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.

I taught yoga for a good while, and early on in that career, I got into listening to yoga music--ragas and kirtan. That was in the late 90s, when this album debuted. Prior to that I'd been gaga for the trends of my young adulthood, and had felt propelled by the changes in the world of "alternative music." Thanks to A, I got to see Stereolab at their college; I think of Air as part of that world. When my teaching and asana practice leveled out and matured, I found my way back to the trends and bands of the era--Beck, especially, but also Air. Art rock. Now I think of this long history and realize all the other moments when I left contemporary rock and electronica slide out of my viewscreen for a couple years.

Too groovy for me

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.

Love.

Owned this on CD and it still holds up. Lovely music to work by.

Incredibly spacy operatic rock that was a lot better than expected

PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE

Classic one

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.

How many hundreds of times have I heard this and it's still up there !!!

it's my favorite album to listen and get high. but more than that, it's extremely chill, classy, aesthetic. it's one of the reasons i like so much trip-hop/downtempo. It's so evocative, in a retrofuturisc way. in a personal sense, i feel very strongly this album, and the way in can make me so relaxed and thoughtful. As Kid Cudi said "the lonely stoner seems to free his mind at night". But it's not sad, and that's essential to make it so differential from other albums in this genre.

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.

Formative listening for teenagers in the 90s. Instrumental in my love for French house, trip hop. Ce Martin la remains one of my favourite songs.

Incrediblé

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.

When to listen: feeling spacey and futuristic. It’s synth. It’s fun. It’s unique. But it’s also repetitive.

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

Never heard of album or band. Not sure what to expect, not usually a fan of electronic. First song blew me away. I can’t believe how much I enjoyed it. Great bass line. Production all around was so good. So audibly pleasing. Didn’t need any words. Sexy boy has great production again, not really a fan of the vocals. Beats are so good. All I need is better lyrics wise. Good guitar. Good change of pace from the first 2 songs. Subtle piano is fire. Lyrics are kinda bs on Kelly watch but the beat is so cool once again. Great music to listen to while working. Tailsman was cool, fun song not much more to say. I’m liking this style. You make it easy is fine. Very soft rock. Not really my style. Horns on ce matin are so good. Not as much of a fan of the harmonica. Strings are cool. Really cool bass line on new star in the sky. Good piano too. Lyrics are kind of unnecessary. Voyage de Penelope is super cool as well. I don’t know what some of these sounds are but they work. It’s so much slower than any electronic album I’ve ever heard. Blew away my expectations. Just a really nice listen. 3.7 stars.

Nice sunny day doing chores music

Quite like this ambient mood

Милейшие комплюктерные галлюцинации, словно призрак в доспехах гуляет по сети и ещё верит что найдёт там что-то хорошее Это мог бы быть саундтрек для ностальгического, умеренно оптимистичного нуарного киберпанка (хоть это и звучит как большой оксюморон)

Light-hearted, pop, french

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

A lot of fun and well done for what it is but a bit tough for me to get into I suppose

They come in with their French tones and make a fairly descent album.

Listens: 3 Standout Tracks: La femme d'argent On a whim (not exactly a whim) I listened to this album back in November 2025. I did so, because over the years, my downtempo electronica radio stations have played La femme d'argent a decent amount. Basically, it came up enough to the point of me saying "maybe I should check out the whole album". Before I get too deep into a full second listen, I will just say that I don't remember it leaving any particularly lasting impression on me. Maybe this will change between last November and now. I know that is a seminal piece in the downtempo electronica genre, in the same way that Portishead really established the trip-hop genre. After a few more listens, I enjoy it well enough. It's exactly what you want in downtempo. Chill music to listen to while relaxing, having a nice cozy party, reading a book or cleaning the house. It's light on lyrics and more of a soundscape of ideas. It's an important piece in the genre. I hope some others come up on the List, like Thievery Corporation or Nightmares on Wax, or maybe even Bonobo!

Thierry Henry hadn't kicked a ball for Arsenal when this was released but both turned out to be French alchemists who rewrite the rules in the early 2000s. C'est formidable.

Note my Cup of tea

Parts of this remind me a lot of post-Dots and Loops Stereolab, or especially early Broadcast. Unfortunately, it all feels a bit incomplete here, and mostly I'd rather just listen to The Noise Made by People, honestly.

One of the chillest albums ever made, surely. Very relaxing and beautiful. Faves: La femme d'argent, All I Need (feat. Beth Hirsch), Kelly Watch the Stars, Ce matin-là

I always grown when I see my AOTD is Electronica but this was really great. It’s a real good one to work to!

reminds me of Tobacco. Black Moth Super Rainbow

fuck yeah

Peak. Summertime perfection.

I like Air

First listen

Había una que tenía guardada… no está mal, too indie.

Great mood music; lovely airy (reference noted) vibe. Lots of good grooves. The female singer should get more credit. Will start a Pandora station and expect to hear lots of similar bands

Good chill vibes. Reminds me of Andrew… who, as it turns out, knows and loves this album.

Esta chido

real potential here for this to marinate and be rated as a 5. beautifully atmospheric, finally some background music that isn't totally forgettable. sounds like it'd be perfect for one of those quiet moments alone where you're actually romanticising life - maybe my rating will change if i listen to it during one of those

Cool album, not my normal vibe but I enjoyed it. I can see where it was influential (some Ocean's 11 vibes here and there). Definitely very 90s.

Pretty cool album, chill and upbeat atmosphere. Good listening for sunny days, for driving and for doing fuck all. Influence of Nightmares on wax potentially. Few songs second half of the album let it down for me but finishes well. Great start, had heard some of it before for sure but great recommendation.

90’s classic

Pretty good, not what I expected out of the 90s

It’s effortlessly cool and floaty. It’s not an album that grabs you by the throat but rather dissolves into the air around you. Claire, it’s French!

90’s Electronic ⭐️New Star in the Sky

Fantastic album. I could listen to the bassline and the organ solo on the opening track all day. Air is one of the better discoveries from this project, their other album on here is excellent also. The downtempo chill out space pop really does it for me. Throwing this album on the playlist. Dig it.

Etéreo.

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,

Why is this album so much better than any other ambient album?

Was not expecting that! Really thought I wouldn’t enjoy this but it’s an absolute cracker. Will be going on my chilled layed back rotation.

Back to back peak?? Goated album. Finde de ersti song e chli naja de rest isch peak

Peak 🙏 You make it easy soooo en guete song.

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.

A joyous record.

classique!! très bon synthé, que des bon morceaux 4.5-/5

Love this album, interesting, chilled out and well produced. Saw them perform the whole album live a year or two ago now and that was a great experience too.

Ahh, finally the author of this book gets an electronic music pick right. Well done, Dimery.

THE WAY I GASPED. I have been in love with this album since day 1. This is my kind of music

Musica de ciNe

all killer-no filler solid album, been a favourite of mine for years

Good. Listenable. Electronic more chill out than banging.

Super cool

Stylish, slick, chill electronic music. Never heard of this album before but it’s very enjoyable. Somehow toes the line between ambient music and dance music.

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.

A really nice easy listening record. Electronic music tends not to be my thing but this was a real surprise. I was aware of the album's heavy hitter, Sexy Boy, which is still one of my favourite songs on the album. But I was pleasantly surprised by the rest of the album. As I lay down just before bed to listen to this it felt like a perfect nightcap to a long day. A well produced, downtempo album with some nice bass and instrumentation. Not an album I'd reach for often but when the moment calls for it, I'll be very glad to have it there. 3.5/5 or 4/5, it depends on how I'm feeling but since I'm in the mood for this kinda music rn, I'll go for 4/5.

3.5

This is my 100th album, and what a treat! While this isn't my favorite Air album, I could still put it forever as a backdrop to my life. Light, intelligent blend of pop, electronica and ambient that feels nostalgic without trying to. I love the unashamed heavy vocoder use, the french accent, the synth work, and even though I could've been talking about Daft Punk with this sentence, Air's electronica is rooted in atmospheric music, not the dancefloor, making its heavy use of electronic sounds accessible, even if you're not an electronica fan. Thanks generator for celebarting my 100th album with me!

Really good album good base and synth and just makes me feel like walking in the city during the night 🌙 ❤️

Good atmospheric album. Reminds me of Daft Punk probably because they are both french electronic bands. The Beth Hirsch songs are perfect. 9/10

Álbum divertido, com atmosferas variadas mas coeso. Vocais nostálgicos embalam algumas das canções e outras são levados pelos instrumentos que contam suas próprias histórias.

Such beautiful and interesting floaty music. I loved this. Saved “… la femme D’argent”.

This is a largely driven album by solely instrumentals, however there are some lyric driven tracks which tended to be my favorites overall. Its a largely ambient driven record as well, definitely perfect for a nice walk outside in the warm weather. The instrumental was mostly enjoyable except for the closing track which I thought was bit boring, and the opening track which I enjoyed but also felt like it dragged on for a bit. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful strings on the song "Talisman" and the incredible bass throughout the record. This album is nothing innovational, but it serves its purpose well to be something to have on to feel good throughout your day. Highlights: Sexy Boy, All Need, You Make It Easy, New Star In The Sky. P.S the French throughout the album was really cool.

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.

Мало что понимаю в их творчестве и жанре в целом, но звучит пиздато. Приятное звучание, цепляющие мелодии, расслабляющая атмосфера, это просто идеальная фоновая музыка в самом хорошем смысле.

Анриал красота и вайб. Сразу захотелось спрыгнуть на забор. В хорошем смысле этого слова. Люблю и ценю.

Что-то на сексуальном. Пока главный мой фаворит в выборке наравне с Violator. Триединая святая французская (дуэтная) электроника: Daft Punk, Justice, Air.

Лучшая песня: Sexy Boy Худшая песня: Ce matin-là Отличный альбом

Что-то после таких отзывов ожидал большего

словил лунный вайб
