Ever since the song "All I Need" with Beth Hirsch, the two Gauls Jean-Benoit dark and Nicolas Godin no longer an integral part of the pop world. It is said to have even seen some who have traveled since the publication of the masterpiece "Moon Safari" no more CD in the Oplayer. But seriously. But it is true that probably had to serve no other board since Portishead "Dummy" quickly mandatory background music as soon as it was sensitive to the contributions. On "Premier Symptomes" it is clear that the success of "Moon Safari" was no fluke, the plate appears from initial Tapserei to the fine elegance. "Les Professionels" already clearly shows fragments of the hit "All I need". "Casanova" is the aesthetic of the film soundtracks of the 70s, while "Le Solei est pres de mois" Airs preference and influence of classical music is clear. Surprisingly, it is at the end: "Californie" is stomping beat with Moog and reminds temporarily to Beck or Money Mark. Overall, this compilation is earlier pieces of Air a testimony to the perfection of the Air sounds. Even this only 34 minute compilation, partly only fragmentary title will not soon disappear from the CD player, although it of course does not have the class of "Moon Safari".
