Description

CD Truthfully It'S Been Some Time Since Air'S Nicolas Godin And Jean-Benoît Dunkel Could Truthfully Be Said To Be Pop Musicians, But Their Fourth Album Pocket Symphony Journeys Further From The Pop Firmament Than Ever Before. Slow, Stately Songs Built Around The Tick Of Electronic Drums, The Trill Of Vintage Synthesisers, And Somewhat Unexpectedly, Some Traditional Japanese Instruments - The Koto, A Japanese Floor Harp, And The Banjo-Like Shamisen - It'S An Album Apparently More Concerned With Texture And Mood Than Crafting Catchy Pop Fromage.

While Names Like Bent, Lemon Jelly And Kinobe Received Favourable S And Decent Sales, It Was French Duo Air Who Were The Undoubted Kings Of The Chill-Out Scene, With Their Debut Album Moon Safari Its Crowning Glory.
