Moon Safari is an essential CD… ❤️

[@lawrencekelli]

''Moon Safari'' is one of my most loved fav Albums ever have never stopped listening to it. Kelly watch the stars is a song I want at my funeral to be played. My name is Kelli. All the songs are beautiful.

[@jamesadkisson7510]

Their soundtrack to the movie The Virgin Suicides is beautiful.

[@davecallan2019]

I have this album. It's a classic!

[@martincarolpiper9964]

90's Chillout is a great genre, from Air through Zero 7, Morcheeba, Nightmares on Wax and Lemon Jelly, through to the Bristol sound of Massive Attack and Portishead

[@jm12green31]

And don't forget Boards of Canada

[@GregThomas_official_yt_channel]

​@@jm12green31and Groove Armada !

[@garyives8676]

That Air is phenomenal! Thank you again for exposing me to new stuff! You guys are awesome!

[@GorgonTheHybrid]

GREAT song, and Moon Safari is an excellent throwback album - very diverse and fun!

[@DanielOrion74]

These guys are awesome! Their soundtrack to The Virgin Suicides and Pocket Symphony are also musts. Highly recommend Stereolab, Everything But the Girl, Royksopp, Zero 7, Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, Bjork and 90's era Gus Gus for similar downtempo, trip hop and electronica artists. For a change of pace, I HIGHLY recommend Underworld, Aphex Twin, Prodigy and (one of my personal favorites) Boards of Canada. Love that you both branch out and explore these great genres! Patreon sub incoming so I can hopefully get some of the above into rotation. Much love from a fellow CO peep and great reaction!

[@waldorfstatler3129]

Air's albums Moon Safari and 10,000 Hz Legend are superb. Listen to 'All I Need' from Moon Safari. Then check out bands like Zero 7, Morcheeba, Koop, Bonobo.

[@DanielOrion74]

Bonobo is an absolute gem. Unbelievably talented artist.

[@jm12green31]

Yeah man good stuff, there's actually an extended version of all I need out there on KZbin combining two different versions... really nice

[@SteveSykes4ever]

This is like a list of my favorite bands

[@jaybee2530]

Please check out "Premiers Symptomes" from AIR as well. Fantastic! Your can hear the foundations they later used in Moon Safari.

[@thomsevilla4956]

one of my fave french band...along w/ Phoenix and Daft Punk

[@jaybee2530]

I'm so excited to be seeing AIR live in a few months!!! They will be playing the entire Moon Safari album instrumentally. ❤

[@Pcrimson1]

A lot of props for the first two albums, but Walkie Talkie has some great tune too, Universal Traveler, Cherry Blossom Girl, Surfing on a Rocket. Seriously, an underrated album. Also, Nicolas Godin put out some solo stuff, if you like Air, check it out!

[@mackeymintle66]

Stoked someone requested this! I used to watch these guys rehearse. 🤓⭕️

[@kellyzak2375]

Wow really?

[@jm12green31]

Where? Damn you... haha

[@chrisfryer7728]

watch & listen to the version in their 2007 performance in paris it's awesome! always been one of my favourite bands. seen them live twice.

[@jm12green31]

Yeah man bad ass

[@papaquonis]

Moon Safari is a spectacular album. Easily one of my top 5 albums of all time.

[@murdockreviews]

Air - awesome request! Listen to their album '10.000 Hz Legend'. It's not very apt for a reaction due to its mellow and cinematic nature, but great to listen to in private. The band Stereolab could be just around the corner 🤩 Air did a soundtrack in fact: 'The Virgin Suicides', and also one of their tracks is featured in the film 'Lost in Translation'.

[@falcon989]

Thanks for reacting to such a unique song! It’s really great, and is such a vibe! You definitely could see a bunch of guys trying to pull off a caper to this in a movie.

[@sylvainmilcent3740]

"La femme d'argent" is french and means "the silver woman" ... because Air is a french band

[@summertime_blooz]

This song was used in multiple commercials. That's why there's so many views for it I guess.

[@matthewstroud4294]

Love Air. If you like this you'll like Zero7.

[@integraleric]

If you enjoy downtempo electronic music with a Pink Floyd influence, Air is a great band to get into. This is one of my favorite songs of theirs. Now that I know that you two enjoy this, I'll BMC request some more Air in the future 😊 Air's music has been described as "elevator music from outer space," or "Burt Bacharach on acid." And if you'll remember, I requested a similar song from Zero 7 about a year ago. Air and Zero 7 are very similar. If you like one, you'll probably love the other.

[@kevinp8882]

I used to listen to Air a lot in the early 2000s. Great rainy day while reading a book music in the background.

[@jm12green31]

Or cannabis partaking haha

[@AutomanicJack]

bought the album when it came out, classic downtempo album

[@foreignmilk5589]

i still have this cd from when i bought it new when it first came out...its a must have

[@PJprog]

Always considered Air to be on the gentler , more ambient side of progressive music. And I don't mean that in anyway to its detriment. 10,000 hertz legend IS such a great album as well. Remember buying that one on the same day as The Mars Volta - Deloused in the comatorium. How about that for two extreme opposites. Lots of love to you NicknLex 😍

[@nikkimckenzie1471]

OBSESSED with them since college!!

[@thomsevilla4956]

A must listen to their soundtrack of Sofia Coppola's classic "The Virgin Suicides"

[@adonispina6167]

i love this LP.....end to end...

[@hrblsh]

This track has a special place in my mind. Just pops up now and again.

[@dajuice4200]

Listen to the album Talkie Walkie. The entire thing is awesome.

[@geoffreycullimore3620]

Check out this with the San Francisco dash cam visuals--just fits so well. The song start works with the horse hoof beat.

[@stevedoumas7701]

Wait until she hears Air- All I need… if she loves Morcheeba she’s going to be blown away… Enjoy

[@kellyzak2375]

This album was voted one of the ten best albums for "gettin' it on". lol

[@scottdavies57]

This whole album was a big comedown record for me & my friends after a heavy night when sleep was impossible for whatever reason 😉

[@triscat]

Love this album! Very cool you two found it.

[@Manageode]

Wonderful jazzy vibe. Thanks for the intro!!

[@stingray4real]

Air did the soundtrack for the movie Virgin Suicide. Their early album is Premiers Symptomes.

[@IronFreee]

It starts a bit like "Sympathy for the Devil" from the Rolling Stones. They are part of that "French Touch" group coming from Vincennes (a fancy Parisian suburb) with Daft Punk and Cassius. I love all their albums but my favorite song from them is "Cherry Blossom Girl".

[@mikeminer1947]

Love this tune and Zero 7 so much (I noticed you did a reaction to them earlier). I love chillout music as a way to deal with anxiety and generally get me through my work day.

[@sebastianriquelme3513]

This song is so beautiful

[@JPVLDRodrigues]

That album is a masterpiece! You should check out Lemon Jelly. Quite a different vibe, but definitely worth checking out.

[@debrabrabenec3731]

Love this! It does remind me of Zero 7, who I would highly recommend!

[@rhill109]

My wife and I went to Paris for the first time not long after I heard this. This is the soundtrack of us on that trip walking through Paris at night in the rain. This track is fire.

[@NicknLex]

That sounds amazing!!!

[@christopherhuot2826]

AIR is very trippy

[@frankswarbrick7562]

Never heard of this. Very nice!

[@davidviteris]

A must after this one: ARCHIVE - 'Again' cheers!

[@bmac1205]

For 1998 its kind of retro to the 70's with the 'spacey' sounds thrown in there. Thanks for playing this from a band I never heard of.

[@dcmphotog8452]

Moon Safari is one of my albums that I think plays best in it's entirety rather than individual tracks out of sequence. I'm guessing that if you had previously heard a track from this album it was probably "All I Need", which has lyrics/vocals. I think the reason this track has so many plays is that it is the first track of the album and people who have had this album suggested to them listened to the first track, and them maybe didn't care for it and didn't bother with the rest of the album. Too bad, because there are tracks on here that are very different.

[@ACETATEjunkie]

you guys clearly appreciate great music production. i am just echoing some of the comments below but you really must check out zero 7, but more specifically the tracks named red dust and destiny. You may have already been lucky enough to discover these but if not I like to spread the love.

[@mackeymintle66]

This is a “bedroom” CD😜💕😴

[@9211goat]

This band (duo) sounds VERY much like the Grammy award winning Deodato. His 1974 "Also Sprach Zarathustra" was featured in the movie Being There, starring Peter Sellers. It's a must listen.

[@shaunmorris8176]

I'm from Australia. I love this music 🎶🎶

[@colin4796]

Oh wow. I forgot all about this band I remember always playing "Kelly Watch The Stars" in my car over and over again. If I remember right I think they collaborated with French actress Charlotte Gainsbourg on her album.

[@mournblade1066]

Air is amazing.

[@havalinachiel7694]

^^ 90 ´s kids , there you go my recommendations would be : The Doors - Love me two times 1967 ´ s Fréderic Chopin - Barcarolle op. 60 Nick Drake - Riverman The Cranberries - Linger 3rd secret - Diamond In The Cold Blur - Resigned P.J. Harvey - Send Him Back To Me Elliott Smith - Stick Man ( this one is really one of tha ) or probably maybe . . . Gumball - The Damage Done So , there you go ( and I ´ll keep checking out your efforts , promise )

[@foreignmilk5589]

if you watch uncle buck, youll hear the song that air sampled for the percussion track of this song

[@jimled50jl49]

Hi guys, I heard a single they released called "Sexy Boy" and it was in the singles charts so got a lot of radio play. Unusually because vinyl singles had been fazed out, the track was on a cd single which I bought. It has the radio edit + 2 other remixes & a bonus track called "Jeanne" which features the French singer Francoise Hardy. A big surprise for me as I have loved Francoise Hardy's music since I was a kid, and have some excellent albums by her now...She released a very well know single in the 60's in French & English called "All Over The World" and it's so beautiful. I have both versions. I adore her voice....sorry I kinda left the subject of "Air" ..Yea later I got the albums, but that single "Sexy Boy" is really good. Lol Great track and reaction. The comments below have mentioned other similar artists well worth checking out....especially Zero 7 & Massive Attack. Byeee X

[@MisterWondrous]

We at MrWondrous Music and/or Humor Corporation hath found this to be a very tasty morsel indeed, and very much look forward to hearing more of this, and more acid jazz impressionism, as one might expect to come from the land of Debussy, Ravel and Faure. Yous guys are wise and kindly relayers of culture, shaking the pan, letting mere rock fall through, leaving gold, which you share, and share again in the listening.

[@eximusic]

This is their classic album - great song. Best bass line ever. Too bad you couldn't do the entire album side. Sexy Boy was next. Also a great song.

[@ericmeredith8754]

Great request! I mainly know these guys from the work on the Virgin Suicides soundtrack! Really cool soundtrack. You guys should check it out! Ben thanks for this! Nick and Lex thanks for this video. I look forward to watching you channel daily! Love you guys! Have a great week!

[@freudsigmund72]

The whole album is a pure masterpiece. Even more amazing that this was the debut ablum of two teachers coming together to make some superb music. two artists that, to me, fall in the same corner as Air are Gare du Nord (check out "Pablo's blues" from their debut album In search of excellounge) and Nicola Conta (check out "Jet sounds" from also his debut album Bossa per due). The style of Nicola Conte is a mixture between acid jazz, bossa nova and clubjazz wheras the song Pablo's blues is more a mixture of the classic blues styles, but with a very modern twist.

[@tallmudfabricatedbs2937]

If you love this song anyone will also love "Summer Madness" by the 1970s group "Kool and the Gang".....love acid jazz like "Exodus Quartet" also with their "Groove Gumbo" cut.

[@MonsterSound]

The end Moog synth sound reminds me of the synth in 'Lucky Man by ELP from 1970. You reacted to it remember? 😊🍁

[@stephenandrewsrealestatevi7138]

Instrumental request... Gong's Isle Of Everywhere off their YOU live album...

[@mackeymintle66]

You gotta do reactions! This LP is basically a best of… from earlier sketches or versions on EPs. You’ll gain a ton of subscribers if you do single reactions… not many people reacting to Air. The guy from Jellyfish , and the band Moog Cookbook were the touring musicians, along with Brian Reitzle (sp?) on Percussion. He was in s project called “TV eyes” that is hard to find, but you’ll love it.

[@karitane]

[@Bruins09XXX]

Great song suggestion and love the initial reaction right after the song begins. NicknLex please react to Destroyer - It's in Your Heart Now.

[@harrisonspencer46]

Great reaction to very inspiring music. Vangelis -"Reve" is a long the same avenue.

[@vandera]

As stated in the comments already, Moon Safari and 10,000Hz Legend are great albums. Personal fave is Ce Matin La off of Moon Safari

[@mauriciodelarosa2449]

Ce Matin-La 👍🏽

[@jm12green31]

Don't forget about talkie walkie man

[@jm12green31]

Def check out talkie walkie album, especially run

[@robertgoyvaerts]

Made in the 90' ties, but sounds SOOOO much 70' ties GREAT stuff . Could have been used in those early 70 ties soft erotic film scores..

[@davidparis4787]

I'm surprised that someone would recommend an instrumental as the first AIR song. They are French, but most songs are in English.

[@kirkmcgee1]

Reminds me of early 70's jazz/funk.

[@briangray00]

Brilliant tune; it might get on my desert island. If you want a visual it's a building being assembled with groove, from foundations, to walls, to roof - when the electric powered helicopters go up from the top is when I soar too. 53M people might agree.

[@richardgiles5608]

Great song, "All I Need" is fantastic though.

[@stevedoumas7701]

Love the reaction as always! Check out these songs by Olive at the very least for personal enjoyment. Best song in my humble opinion is Miracle. Such a moody headphone aural treat... After that enjoy their songs Safer Hands, You're not Alone, and This Time

[@albert0F]

This reminds me a lot of Zero 7.

[@mauriciodelarosa2449]

Great pick two other songs from them you should check out are Talisman and Ce Matin-La 🙏🏽✌🏽🌎🌍🌏♥️

[@julientardieux]

You can pronounce femme " fam ", meaning woman in french. (la femme d'argent --> the silver woman)

[@grega8586]

Never heard or heard of this, but it sounds good. Makes me think of some of the chill-out music I do have, such as Pete Bardens (keyboardist from Camel). Seen One Earth has been compared to Dark Side Of The Moon, though I don't see the comparison, other than being some good dark room, headphone tunes ;-)

[@murdockreviews]

Air were massive around Europe in the late 90s/early 00s, which was already unusual for a French band (apart from Daft Punk). I'm not sure how big they were in America.

[@grega8586]

@@murdockreviews Ahhh... that would explain it. My days of listening to lesser-known stuff were over by the mid-90's... Got stuck in the listening to what I knew already rut :-D I do have one French language album in my collection, tho... Atoll - Tertio. I thought it was pretty cool... and fun to spring on my mainstream-listening friends :-D

[@michaelakkerman407]

Love this band, completely forgot about this song...

[@extracaliber432]

Glad you guys are reacting to this. Elevator music on steroids.

[@mackeymintle66]

Elevator music on steroids is a better description for the first Moog Cookbook CD… The Foo Fighters used sone of their music in a video once… Actual elevator music scene… 👍

[@dennisdickson6210]

How about some Little Feat? The album Waiting on Columbus and the song “Time Loves a Hero”. I enjoy your channel 👍

[@NicknLex]

Done! ✅

[@RGRG3232]

Very nice choice. A band that should have been more popular. They did most of the soundtrack to the movie 'Virgin Suicides' - Sofia Coppola's first movie. AIR's Greatest Hits album Twentyears is one I would hope you listen to the whole album. They have some guest singers on a lot of tracks which adds to their allure.

[@roka156]

Pink Floyd

[@YouHaventSeenMeRight]

#nicknlexrequest Could you have a listen to one of my favorite bands: Hybrid and especially their 2010 song "Break My Soul". Hybrid are a husband and wife band (Mike and Charlotte Truman) from Wales who are currently working on their 7th album (though Charlotte didn't join the band until just before their fourth album (Mike was teamed up with Chris Healings before that, but Chris left the band in 2015). Their music has been described as symphonic electronica, but that doesn't do their repertoire justice: Hybrid are Hybrid. Their music has been used in movies, video games and TV extensively (Top Gear in the Clarkson/Hammond/May years would use Hybrid tracks quite commonly), but they have been largely unknown to a wider audience. The link to "Break My Soul" is here => kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqHXeniheK2HkJY

[@scottstevens7639]

If you thought metal was a vast genre…it’s got nothing on Electronica. Acid Jazz is but one small sub-genre in a galaxy of sub-genres. Good luck exploring that universe. You might just get sucked in, get lost and never find your way back again.
