Its title announced it.
This record came from another planet.
“Moon Safari”.
These two French musicians, wonderful flying madmen on their strange machines, had inevitably walked on the moon, to bring back an album like this.
In 1998, when Air's first album arrived, we breathed, we even soared.
Rock still makes guitars roar.
Rap is coming out of the ghettos.
The electro tricolor is already making people dance.
But with Air, it's something else.
There is space in this album, a unique cross between the arrangements of “Melody Nelson” by Gainsbourg and the technology of the time.
Very quickly “Moon Safari” took off and found itself in orbit around the world, propelling Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel among the spearheads of the “French touch”.
