anyway, i love everything air have done up until 10,000hz. just never searched out anything after that. this record is fucking grand though. listened to it about 10 times last weekend. there are some real "grown up" moments on it, i like how they're real masters of what they do now. total synth porn, really cosmic, kitsch, adventurous with their harmony, love the timpani and the drum sounds, some sick sick bass sounds. good job well done etc this rec is def a keeper for me

one year passes...
le voyage came up in the datf punk thread, and since this thread seems to have languished...
dig this album a lot. seems a shame that it wasn't more widely heard & embraced, but maybe that's inevitable, given that it's a brief soundtrack to a somewhat obscure silent film. just a little over 30 minutes, with only a two "real songs".
but so what? it's great! trippy, varied, and though clearly indebted to psychedelic 60s soundtracks, it isn't so derivative as to seem trapped in amber. tbh, i like the slightness, that it doesn't stretch to fill time or make a big statement. just a series of pleasantly cosmique distractions, sometimes jubilant, sometimes ominous, always intriguing.

I once interviewed one of the Air guys, and he kept apologizing for his English, which of course was beyond good. Eventually, I told him he should just start affecting the world's fakest, most exaggerated French accent, just to adhere to expectations.
