Air — Love 2

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) October 14, 2009 3:41 pm
The problem with chill-out music is its creators can often cross the line between calming down the listener and putting them to sleep. It's certainly a thin line, considering chillout artists often pander what are supposed to be floaty, spacey, relaxing sounds. Air jumped over the line from blissful to boring with 2007's Pocket Symphony, a huge...

Air — Pocket Symphony

in
By Phil Villeneuve (CHARTattack) March 6, 2007 3:20 pm
Was that it? That's the first thing you might think after hearing Air's Pocket Symphony. It's not a bad album and there are some fantastic Air moments that won't disappoint fans, but PS isn't as adventurous as past releases. It's a small step forward and a bigger one back. Saving PS from complete disaster are Nicolas Godin's newfound obsession...

Air — Talkie Walkie

in
By Joel McConvey (CHARTattack) January 27, 2004 12:34 pm
Air have always been true to their name in both sound and practice; their ethereal popscapes float around the media like mist, turning up in films, on TV, in fashion shows and wherever else JB Dunckel and Nicolas Godin see fit. As such, their pop records have turned out as lush, cohesive gems (1998’s Moon Safari) and distracted jumbles of ideas (...

Quoteworthy: Air's Nicolas Godin reflects on early Phoenix demos; “I thought they were ahead of their time”

in
By Dan Busheikin (CHARTattack) January 31, 2012 7:02 pm
“We all come from the same part of town in Versailles, and we started to hang out with them when we were around 20. When I heard their first demos, I thought they were ahead of their time. I knew them when they were young, and they were dreaming of the pop culture in the States. And now America gives that love back. It's such a fair thing. I'...

The Chart Time Tunnel: Tricky Woo's Last Stand At #1

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) June 10, 2011 11:31 am
In two weeks, it's the first anniversary of the last time I wrote a Chart Time Tunnel. It was about that time CHARTattack shifted to a new platform and access to all of the charts on CHARTattack ended. Since then, we've been re-inputting the weekly charts again with some success. The weekly charts from September 1995 through to October 2001 have...

Air Save Best For Last

in
By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) March 24, 2010 4:42 pm
Since cashing in much of the goodwill gained with Moon Safari on the caustic (by Air standards) 10,000 Hz Legend, the careers of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel have been largely overshadowed by that other French duo, Daft Punk. Working sans robot suits and pyramid stages, you could be forgiven if you assumed the pair had fallen into...

The Chart Time Tunnel: Air

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) January 15, 2010 2:47 pm
Ten years ago this week on the campus charts, things were still sorting themselves out as programmers from coast to coast realized the world didn't end when the clocks turned over to 2000. The campus chart for the week of Jan. 6 to 13, 2000 reflects either a vast amount of fear of the future or just some radio laziness as the majority of the...

What do you do when you don't want to get attacked by a panther? You walk very, very quietly through a house and hope it doesn't find you. That's the premise behind Air's new video for Love 2's "So Light Is Her Footfall." Check out Air's video for "Sing Sang Sung" here.

Air are fine if you're one of those people who needs to book isolation tank "me" time because you can't handle the real world, but the rest of us need a little bit more in our lives than whooshes, cooes and the occasional non-invasive beep.
