Album: Moon Safari

Every now and then, a real breakthrough album comes along that creates a brand new world of sound unlike something we've heard before. And, consequently, that album influences many other artists who want to be a part of it. Air's 1998 full-length debut Moon Safari is one such album. It's a delicious blend of space lounge, electronica, '70s synth, and that certain je ne sais quoi (obligatory French reference as Air are a French band...says so right there on the album cover)!

A good choice for: fans of chillout, downtempo, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Zero 7 and the like, bilingual song titles; Francophiles.

Tracks to try: La Femme d'Argent, Sexy Boy, You Make It Easy, New Star In the Sky, Le Voyage de Penelope

Listen here.

[Thanks to Jeremiah H. for his inspirational devotion to this album!]
