Reviews
"...confirms that Air's 'modus operandi' is perfectly suited to bringing subtle shades of beauty to incidental fragments...", 4 out of 5 - "...unmistakably the sound of Air - lush analog keyboards float over dubby bass and jazzy drums - creating that intangible atmosphere that made them famous...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...an eclectic selection of musical sketches, few of which pay any heed to orthodox song structure....teetering pleasantly close to what used to be called ambient, others sound like half-completed electronic doodles...", 8 out of 10 - "...It is Air's Nicholas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel at their best - entirely removed from logic and gleefully, wickedly free to roam their own, unique world...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...The prevailing mood here is solemn and nocturnal...It's all very soft-focus, very regal...", Included in Magnet's "20 Best Albums of 2000" - "...Evokes the mysteries of adolescence....The sinister bass-line pull of sex, the chilly, synthesized fear of the future and long, starry-eyed stretches of reflective boredom...", Ranked #93 in Ew's "100 Best Movie Soundtracks", 3 stars out of 5 - "...an album that's some previously unknown form of spooky goth music for kids....exceedingly strange yet scrupulously crafted and intelligent...", "...Air's accomplishment resides in its ability to fashion the cheese of decades gone by into a sweet, seductive melancholia.", 4 stars out of 5 - "...painless...providing 13 beautifully mournful moments which would make even a Mr Bean film seductive.", Included in Mojo's "100 Coolest Movie Soundtracks".
