AIR French band. Any love for them in here?

just to let everyone know that the new album is out today, its called

LOVE 2. I hope its good and i'm gonna listen to it now. i think Moon Safari is

a classic and the subsequent albums all have their highlights, if maybe a

bit patchy. so anyone else?

hi rusty, yea its classic, the intro alone alone would stop you dead in your

tracks, and the vocals are pristine. I suppose thats the song that got me

into them.

Re: AIR French band. Any love for them in here?

Moon Safari is my favorite album of all time and Talisman one of the most beautiful tracks I've ever heard

Looking forward to the new material.

I am definitely down for the Air. Each and every time they come to Los Angeles I see the show. We don't get the new record till 20 Oct though

Oh well, that just means it's that much sweeter when I get it. I hope they can match the brilliance of Moon Safari..

Re: AIR French band. Any love for them in here?

I love AIR and echo everyones remarks about Talisman and All I Need. I also love the video to All I Need and Cherry Blossom Girl

Didn't really like that new single but really looking forward to the new album.
Anyone who hasn't got the Moon Safari anniversary digipak is missing out on a nice set.

Re: AIR French band. Any love for them in here?

Beening listening to the new Album 'Love 2' of the last couple of days on Napster, i like it but it's no Moon Safari (but then, its a hard album to live up too). Trying to decided what to use my Napster credits on today, this or the new Zero 7. Think it will have to be Zero 7, but i will get this a some point and can listen at any time on Napter

Anyone going to see them play Somerset House, central London in July?

Just wondered what they're like live & what their other material is like. I've only got Moon Safari

There was a review of a recent-ish gig in the Gardian, have a search of their website.

Wow thanks. Haven't read a review that bad in years. They sound bloody awful live. I'll give this a bug miss. Cheers

I love Moon Safari, I was recently at the local tip on a Sunday Morning getting rid of some rubbish as is a man's want from time to time, a car pulled up and the chap was playing Air, I commented on this and he said 'Sundays were made for Air!'

Seriously it is good Sunday morning chill out music
