Moon Safari

Jean-Benoît Dunckel and Nicolas Godin record as Air. Moon Safari, their debut, is built on warm analog synthesizers, vintage keyboards, and a deliberately old-fashioned idea of the future, all moon bases and easy listening. Sexy Boy opens it with a glam stomp; La Femme d'Argent stretches out into seven minutes of drifting bass. It became the album that defined a kind of plush French electronic pop, and a fixture in every stylish apartment of its era.
