Topic: shouldn’t Air be here? Posted: July 23 2005 at 10:20 |
I have three albums of them,talkie walkie, moon safari, and the
virgin suicides. This is electronic music but they have so many
psychedelic and experimental elements! Whats your opinion about them?

I'm not sure they qualify as prog and I read an interview where one of them derided the genre as too pompous, but I agree with you about Virgin Suicides. A lot of it sounds like early King Crimson (mellotron) with sax that could be off a Pink Floyd album. Good drumming too!

Only heard Moonsafari, it's nice for once, but not near prog, just very original electronic melodic exploration, should hear their other albums before i can really judge them.
But moonsafari is not good enough to waste my time on other projects of them, my loss maybe.

Only know their first album, which I love! The other ones didn't get such good reviews so I didn't check them out, though Talkie Walkie is still on my check-out-list.
Prog? Maybe. Moon Safari is marvellous, excellent, extravagant, proposterous... well, I love it obviously

Air is a very hip band, but not prog.
