Free Music Notes for Moon Safari
Free Music Review: Pleasant but Canned--Mix is Off
Hit: 3 Stars
Waited years before I finally bought this and now I remember why. "All I Need" and "Femme d'Argent" are delightful summer-day, mellow, fluffy songs. Except for those, though, this is elevator/shopping mall/quaalude music, especially the last 4 VERY SLOW songs, omg, zzzzzzz....
Moreover, the mix is strangely harsh and metallic for this type of music; the treble seems excessive, making the keyboards and effects almost painfully sharp. It's tolerable on an Ipod with the right EQ setting, but on a home stereo it's shrill even with bass turned up and treble turned down. This aggravates what would be a minor annoyance: the many unnecessary, sustained high synth tones and even hisses in the background. These would be subliminal if the mix were right. But they are brought forward, and become noticeable flaws.
My advice: download "Femme d'Argent" and "All I Need" as MP3s. Save your CD money for a disc with more good tracks on it.
Moon Safari Poster
French duo Air's debut album is a superlatively happy collection of experimental disco-mood sound nestled between ambient soundscape and breathy pop. It's jazzy and melodic, and mostly laid-back, but not excessively so. There are a few shake-it, shake-it numbers, too, like the absurdly daft hit "Sexy Boy." It's snap your fingers and hang out (while reading) music or dance around sexy-slow with your mate music. It's also the perfect music to do your ironing or some other chore to; it's hypnotizing wallpaper music. It slips in and out of your consciousness, forcing you to move around with a relaxed smile before you even realize it. Oh, and contrary to sampler fashion, Nicolas Godin and Jean Benoit Dunckel played the instruments themselves. Bravo. --Mike McGonigalA 3-disc Deluxe Edition of Air's seminal 1998 debut album "Moon Safari", packaged in a case bound book DVD size. Second audio disc features rarities, remixes (Beck, Moog Cookbook) and key songs from radio sessions recorded during 1998. DVD component is the hour-long Mike Mills documentary "Eating, Sleeping Waiting and Playing" filmed in New York, London and Paris during Air's first tour.
