Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A 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.

Amazon.com:
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 McGonigal



Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the best ever?
The other day I got in my car for a long trip, and I randomly found Moon Safari on my iPod and gave it a whirl. I hadn't heard it in a while, but as it ran through I realized that even though this album is TEN (wow!) years old, it still sounds fresh and perhaps is one of the best CDs I've ever heard (and the final track is perhaps one of the best album closers of all time). I am eternally grateful to my friend Blake who introduced me to Air all those years ago. If I were stranded on a desert island with only an iPod and a few tracks to listen to, this would most definitely be on my list.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very good CD
This is a very good CD of electronica.Great mix of vocal and instrumental
tunes.Generally uptempo and enjoyable.Recommended.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the best albums I have ever heard.
"Sexy Boy," while a big hit, actually hurts rather than helps this phenomenal album. That said, there is not a bad song on this album. It is fantastic and timeless.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Cinematic music
I'm not a fan of France, French food or Frenchmen in general, but I am a huge fan of this French duo. They're incredible musicians - very, very talented - in a league all of their own. With Air it's the music, which says it all, not the lyrics, but the music is so vivid, so cinematic, that it creates all kinds of images and stories in your mind. Most critics and fans seem to agree that Moon Safari is their masterpiece, and they may be right, but personally I just can't make up my mind; I love Premier Symptomes, Talkie Walkie, and Pocket Symphony just as much. Life wouldn't be the same without Air.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's porn film music! It's a Bacharach movie soundtrack! It's AIR and it's wonderful!
Take one pint of porn movie music, a half cup of Burt Bacharach, four tablespoons of Brian Wilson, a quarter stick of seventies easy listening music. Combine in a pot and heat until the easy listening music has melted, stirring occasionally. Add some electronica, a vocoder, some sifted driving background music, and sprinkle with some Henry Mancini. Pour into a cake pan and chill in the fridge at 40-80 beats per minute for one hour, until it sets. Make some frosting with a half cup of John Barry soundtracks and some French flavored melancholy. Top with some Muzak, if desired.
AIR is a wonderful mix of all of these. This is one of the best CHILL albums ever. This French duo has the intelligence and artistry to take all of these and make them sound new and fresh. It's retro and contemporary. ... Read More
