AIR: Moon Safari version on CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Source in cooperation with Virgin on 25. March 2019.
The debut album of the French electro duo Air (Jean-Benoît Dunckel & Nicolas Godin) is now considered a musical classic of the 90s. Pitchfork ranked it as the 46th best album of the decade. "'Moon Safari' may have kick-started the chillout sound and the return of easy listening, maybe even the Balearic beat with the tidal wave of Café Del Mar. But the velvety retro-pop of 'Moon Safari' is and remains one of the most reliable time and space machines - whenever the hustle threatens to overwhelm us." (Bayerischer Rundfunk) ME-Sounds 3/98: "On their debut album, these two uniquely blend hypnotic melodies with gently soaring house beats and pulsating electronic sounds with Francophile pop harmonies. The result is breathtaking in every way: modern, visionary pop music beyond all clichés. It's no exaggeration to say that "Moon Safari" is already one of the style-defining albums of this still-young year - especially in terms of its impeccable aesthetic and content. This is what progressive pop music at the end of the 20th century must sound like."
Album spans genres Downtempo, Lounge, Neo-Psychedelia, French Pop and Ambient Pop.
