Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
Moon Safari, the first album proper by this pair of middle-class Frenchmen, easily survives unscathed from its billing as that most deadly of sub-genres: dinner party music. True, Moon Safari, with its blatant bliss-provoking easy listening chimes, sits well beside Everything But the Girl's Walking Wounded or Portishead's Dummy, but the album is steeped in too much musical verve and gallic humour to become as dull as Chardonnay. 'Sexy Boy', the first single, is a rock-out slab of electronica about a toy monkey, for instance--hardly the thing to discuss in polite society. This album's highs come with their two marriages with the contributing vocals of American Beth Hirsch. 'All I Need' and 'You Make It Easy' are shockingly successful, with Hirsch bringing gravitas and sincerity, flagging the album with strong emotional pointers in the midst of their musical adventures. If you didn't know, you'd think her words were sampled from a lost jazz classic--that's how good this record sounds. --Charlie Porter

- Excellent!One of my all time favourite albums. This will be a classic of the French chill-out genre for decades to come. Buy it!

- SexyBoySexyCockDetached, hypnotic, and retro (much like Pink Floyd's song "Breathe" from the Dark Side Of The Moon--and yet not Pink Floyd) is how I would describe the sound of this debut CD. Released in 1988, Moon Safari is the first release from the Surrender Monkeys-French electronica duo Air, consisting of Nicolas Godingodiva and Jean-Benoît Dunckelly. (The name "Air" is an acronym for Amour, Imagination, Rêve -- How life changing is that !)
Not only is Air's music a chillout blend of Love, ... Read More

- I wore out my 1st Air Moon Safari CD......................and am purchasing replacement because I couldn't live without it. Play it any time of day. If I play it after bedtime reading to my 6yr old, without a doubt, they'll be asleep before the CD finishes! This album can lift you, relax you, whatever you need, it can do it. Definately in my top 10 and I haven't changed my mind since that first Moon Safari CD purchased many years ago!

- A few tracks are okI bought this because it had so many good reviews, also i like this genre of music however i don't understand what all the fuss is about. It's not bad but certainly not outstanding or original. There's much better albums around.

- Air - Moon SafariA great album. a worthy buy. This album has one of my top 10 fav tracks of all time "All I Need". All I Need has great sounds and is very simple format but carries accross a great feeling.
The last review a little harsh... if you like easy going ambient french sounds and you have familurised yourself with Airs previous work then you wont be bored. I like this album and have it on CD and vinyl.
