- The Analog Vault // Essential Listening -

Imagine every romanticised ideal of French coolness you’ve ever had - effortless sophistication and style - and filter that through spacey, loungey dream pop. The result is Moon Safari, the 1998 debut album from Versailles’ electronic music duo Air.

This lush and absorbing LP is 45 minutes of starry-eyed, downtempo mood pieces. From the watery nostalgia “La Femme D’Argent”, to the funky vocoder anthem that is Sexy Boy”, to gentle seductiveness of "All I Need" and “You Make it Easy” (both featuring Beth Hirsh), every single track on Moon Safari feels lush and luxuriant. Buoyed by soothing melodies and multifarious instrumentation (synths, bongos, organs, glockenspiels, harmonicas, among others), Air’s debut record remains a gorgeous chill-out triumph. — The Analog Vault
