Song of the Day

Air's newest album Love 2... more of the same can be a good thing.

Heaven's Light- Air I've had about a month to listen to the new Air album Love 2 and I've concluded that it's their most Air-like album since their early Moon Safari/Virgin Suicide days around the turn of the millenium. Our beloved French duo has returned to their opium induced soundscapes that sound like the dreamy soundtracks from late 60s and early 70s European art house movies.

In 1975 Brian Eno said "Ambient music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting." On those terms, Air is brilliant and those music critics that label Air's music as derivative will also confess to being the band's biggest fans.
