With the fashionable press foaming at the mouth over the new album "Moon Safari" by 'French Band' Air, one can become confused as to the merits or not of the music they produce. IDM can sometimes be a small single palm-treed island of sanity in a vast ocean of cool, so please speak your mind about this release and it's related 'scene'. Topics you may or may not like to discuss include... 1)Is the concept of a 'digital ELO' a good one? 2)Will you been rushing out to buy a selection of polo necked sweaters in an attempt to pre-empt this summers fashion craze, or is the French revolution really over? 3)Why do the French, or anybody, like the Beach Boys so much? 4)Aren't Virgin just trying to pull another 'Daft Punk' by slipping the new Air CD into the executive pigeonholes of the 'beautiful people' who work at style mags? 5)And, of course, is the album really any good, or is prog rock really the new rock and roll? Answers on a tacky Hawaiian postcard please. Be sure to mark your entries xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx... Cheers!
