This whole album is good times. I'm a fan. Got into them after hearing the Virgin Suicides soundtrack. Sofia Coppola's obviously a big fan—"Alone In Kyoto" made it into her film Lost In Translation too.

Alone In Kyoto is one of my fav songs by them.

Air is quite wonderful!

Have you guys heard of Mellow?

A friend of mine told me about Mellow a few years back -- very awesome stuff!

I've been a long time listener of Air. They're an interesting back to keep track of because their stuff doesn't always sound the same. I wish more bands would be as experimental. Even though this song is featured in commercials (something that ruins most songs for me) I still enjoy it. Great stuff!

Fishes,

Long time Air fan here too. :)

They kind of lost the way a little with 10,000Hz Legend, but Talkie Walkie was definitely a return to form.

Alone in Kyoto is the standout track for me :)

Dailytunes seems to have swung more on to my wavelength now. For a long time, there only seemed to be stuff that I'd never heard of/couldn't stand, but I've posted to 4 or 5 of these threads recently. I'll definitely have to check out Mellow.

Who else would you guys recommend as a worthy listen to in the vain of Air for a fan of likes of Air [obviously!?], Royksopp and Sigur Ros et al? ;)

Give 'Felt Mountain' by Goldfrapp a go.

Their later albums are all raunchy electronica, but this first album is a lush (in the musical sense) laid back album and Alison Goldfrapp has an incredible voice.

This is a bit off topic but,

I'm really disappointed that Mellow's latest cd is available only through import in North America, and I really cannot see myself dropping 40 bucks on a cd.

Grrrrr.

I really like the video to this song. It was directed by a rogue porn maker ;)

Thanks to both Kernow and Blue Velvet for the recommendations -- funnily enough I'm off to see Goldfrapp for the second time at Sheffield Octagon this coming Thursday [23rd Feb].

Should be a good gig and thanks again... ;)

Wow a second Air track in about a week. Someone's listening to TalkieWalkie a lot :D

Just looking back at the posting dates - the original was posted in March 2004, the first reply in Jan 2006 - nearly two years later :eek:

I had to go back and check the original album - I hadn't realised it had been released that long.

Excellent recommendation, I love Air.

I just got Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain on recommendation from a friend, and I'll be checking that out this week.
