Oui, Oui.. Bon, Bon.. and all that good stuff..
I obtained a copy of Air - Moon Safari the other day and have been enjoying mellow, relaxing vibrations it exudes. They may be best known for their excellent contribution to Sofia Coppola's Virgin Suicides soundtrack. The artists that come to mind when I listen to it are Daft Punk, The Beta Band, and Stereolab. This got me back into listening to fellow Frenchmen Daft Punk's 2000 release Discovery. That is always an enjoyable album to listen to. I have recommended it to many people and everyone has also enjoyed it, its got kind of a universally likeable quality to it.
For awhile I've been trying to get a copy of French group M83's Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts but its not easy to find. I have heard it has horrible distribution in the US. Pitchfork had an article awhile back that this album will be re-released later this month as a 2-disc set. I will be anxious to give it a try. It has been very critically acclaimed as one of the best albums of last year.
