Tracklisting:
Astronomic Club

Seven Stars

Retour Sur Terre

Parade

Moon Fever

Sonic Armada

Who Am I Now?

Décollage

Cosmic Trip

Homme Lune

Lava


I've heard 3 songs so far;






Surely there will be a few Air fans on here, after Moon Safari and Talkie Walkie in my opinion, they failed to make masterpieces like that again. Pocket Symphony was decent and Love2 was utterly shit. However, I'm glad with the songs I've heard so far, it sounds like the Air I fell in love with in the beginning. Release date is the 7th of february, anyone else looking forward to this?

Fuck, I really liked that song, now knowing the melody is a rip-off is pissing me off, I was happy it had that oldschool Air-vibe again and now it's stolen. -.-''

I love Air. I think 10,000 Hz Legend is a masterwork. I love Pocket Symphony. But I have trouble liking them much after Love 2. I got excited when I saw Victoria Legrand would guest on the new album, but I thought the song was a little disappointing. I hope this album surprises me though. There's still hope!

You guys can't be serious surely? It's hardly the most complex of chord progressions. If you look hard enough I bet there's hundreds of songs with it...

WOW, that's very different.

The term "stole" is really over-exaggerating here.

It's not that different really. The first seconds I heard it in the AIR track I was being reminded of that David Gray song. Instant recognition which is now definitely tied to this AIR track forever and ever. And that kinda spoils it for me.

And it might not be the most complex chord progression, but still I've only heard it in two tracks. David Gray and AIR. So yeah...

The saga continues:

"AIR - moon fever" vs "Fatboy Slim - right here, right now" vs "James Gang - Ashes, The Rain and I"

This can't be a coincedence anymore...

Okay, now this one I actually agree, sounds remarkably similar at parts.


The David Gray one though, I don't hear the similarities.

I've just listened to it for the first time, it's decent, but not as good as Talkie Walkie/Moon Safari.

I think I was the only one who actually liked Love 2.
Probably liked it more than Pocket Symphony.

Couldn't agree more. I went to go see them in concert about two years ago and they just seemed sort of flat. I'm pretty disappointed with the new album too. At least Moon Fever is good, even if it borrows from Fatboy Slim a bit.

They should produce a Victoria Legrand solo album like they did with 5:55 for Charlotte. That album is such a sleeper; very underrated.

This is cool, I don't even mind the melody rip off as I like David Gray.

Air will never top Moon Safari though.
