OPO: Air (French Band)

Yes! You are correct, sir!!

It's 'Sexy Boy' for me.

blueski OTM

You Make It Easy, easy.

"Mike Mills"

That song they did with Beck is pretty fun too. And the video for Kelly Watch the Stars!

j'ai dormi sous l'eau

casanova 70

le soleil et pres de moi

that's rad too

how does it make you feel.

good.

'le soleil est pres de moi' seconded, but lately I've been playing 'Mer du Japon' a lot

"le soleil est pres de moi" or "radian" (but only the second half).

"Alpha Beta Gaga."

i need a few days

I spoke too soon. The real best Air song is "Modulor Mix."

my boyfriend went through a phase when he would listen to the Sexy Boy album a lot in the morning. so it always seemed like Sexy Boy was coming on right as he was like getting ready. it was not okay.

all I need <3

I give the Moog Cookbook remix of Kelly Watch The Stars ten out of ten.

"La Femme D'Argent" in a landslide

'playground love' i think most likely

maybe not actually

'alpha beta gaga' or 'la femme d'argent' strong contenders

playground love.

ok youve convinced me..

this needs to be a pov thread instead

i might even like "the word hurricane" even more

"Heaven's Light".

"Playground Love" is so fantastic. Just thinking about it makes me want to like The Virgin Suicides more than I do (it's still pretty great). Somewhere out there, there's an album along these lines that lives up entirely to that song and to the cover of Obscured By Clouds. In this fantasy of mine, I also find a whole packet of oxycontin in my drawer that I had forgotten about.

'modulor mix'

spent an hour or so watching all their videos on youtube t'other week, recommend doing that sometime.

what happened after 10,000hz? anything worth checking out?

The next one is very good also (Walkie Talkie). I don't know after that.

keep this thread bumping til the weekend to remind me to dig up my CD of them live at Sydney Opera House a few years back, TIA

Walkie Talkie was alright actually.

The next one is very good also (Walkie Talkie). I don't know after that.

I've got both Pocket Symphony and Love 2 but I'd be hard pressed to name a single track off either album without looking it up. Both pretty bland, inoffensive stuff that I don't think I listened to more than a handful of times.

such a great live band

"La femme d'argent" or "Le soleil est près de moi"...old school Air for me.

Yeah, "Le Soleil..." is up there. I really like "Radian" off 10,000Hz which I bought off the back of "Radio #1" which is hugely underrated IMO. I'd almost forgotten this band exists and used to be really good.

air threads are hard to find

anyway, STARWALKER

le soleil

best video too

sexy boy a close #2

Their recent song with Jean-Michel Jarre is surprisingly good.

Nobody has said Electronic Performers yet, huh

I meant to bring up JB's side project , starwalker

I'm not really sure where it has come from but I'm sort of in the mood where I'd listen to Godin/Dunckel's side projects - any recommendations? I've definitely owned (but got rid of) one of their albums before, mind.

Talisman came on the other day and sounded really good

Godin's Concrete & Glass is beautiful, would recommend the expanded edition that has an even better version of the Kadhja Bonet collaboration

Otherwise I only really know the Darkel album, enjoyed it at the time though it's probably fairly minor

Ta, both.
