Air – Moon Safari (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Moon Safari arrived at a moment when French electronic music was rewriting what pop could sound like, with Daft Punk and Cassius also cresting that same late-90s wave. Godin and Dunckel brought something warmer and more melancholic to the conversation, layering Moog bass lines and vocodered vocals into something that felt simultaneously futuristic and nostalgic. The remaster brings new depth to arrangements that were already remarkably detailed.
French postmodernists Air raid every aspect of retro pop music, from the sublime to the ridiculous, in fashioning their sonic bricolage. Everything from Krautrock-inspired electronics to 1960s lounge music is incorporated into the work of Nicolas Godin and J.B. Dunckel. Their full-length debut, 1998's Moon Safari, earned massive critical plaudits and put the duo at the forefront of modern, electronic-oriented pop.
