Any fans of the group Air?

[bif]

A friend just turned me on to their latest cd. Nice stuff. What other groups should I look into?

1. I heard an Air song on WXPN this morning

it was nice

BTW - Damian Rice is awesome!!!

[Loonman]

2. Yeah, I saw 'em live 2 years ago.

Not bad.

[arwalden]

3. I Liked "All Out Of Love"

[LynneSin]

5. That's Air Supply and 1980

Please exit the time warp and make sure you take all of your belongings with you!!!

[Loonman]

8. Making looooooooooove... Out of nothing at all... (nt)

[Fenris]

4. Yes yes yes yes yes

Excellent stuff. There are a lot of good French astropop bands like Air. My suggestion would be to go a local indie music shop and ask someone there.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

7. Yeah, if you like Air, Broadcast and Stereolab are also good.

That, and Air's patron saint, Serge Gainsbourg, of course.

10. I like Stereolab, haven't heard Broadcast

Thanks for the tip!

20. Broadcast:

Their latest album, Haha Sound, is a fucking Godhead. Not to be missed.

9. S-T-E-R-E-O-L-A-B

Essential!

Also, if you like Talkie Walkie, definitely check out their earlier releases like Moon Safari and Premiers Symptomes.

11. I remember "Curved Air"

Sting was in that one before joining The Police.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

12. naw, it was Stewart Copeland.

[frylock]

13. yes.. their premiers symptomes cd is total chill..

14. Julee Cruise

Air's soundtrack for "The Virgin Suicides" is my favorite of theirs, but I'm biased because I love that movie/book. I'm probably in the minority among Air fans.

Julee Cruise's CD, which I think is called "Rockin' back into your heart" (at least that is the single from it) is another atmospheric, dreamlike sound. I have no idea if she's even still recording. She did a lotta soundtrack stuff for David Lynch movies way back when.

21. Love Julee Cruise.

have you heard Mazzy Star? she reminds me a lot of Julee Cruise, for some reason.

15. When I think of Air

I think also of Daft Punk. Also try Baby Fox, "A Normal Family."

Compilations to try would be Freedom Satellite, "Soul Samba," and
any of the Hotel Costes disks, I like #3.

I saw Air live once in a converted church in Pontiac, MI. For the life of me, I can't remember the name of place! I was trying to be cool, slipped on the beer soaked floor, and almost did the splits. So much for trying to be cool!

[FunBobbyMucha]

16. Oh yeah! Aqualung!

And NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I don't mean the creepy prog band Jethro Tull. Aqualung is a Brit band with a similar feel, and one truly classic single, "I put a spell on you."

[RebelOne]

17. Hey, wait a minute. I like Jethro Tull.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

19. *me and Rebel One move towards Mucha with unfriendly look*

[CrownPrinceBandar]

18. I saw Air in DC a couple of years ago

at the 9:30. Really good band. "Premiers Symptomes" is a really great album. I think Stereolab is pretty good, but Air takes the cake as far as the Franco-phile spacey rock goes. You may also want to check out Cornelius ( a Japanese cartoon rocker) and Tipsy. I really can't say enough about Tipsy. Formed around two producer/DJ's, Tipsy is a throwback to the 50's space-age bachelor pad music, like Esquivel. They have two CD's out now: "Trip Tease" and "Uh-Oh."
