alone in kyoto

the french duo, 'air' has become my favourite electronic band over the last few years - i saw their glastonbury performance some years ago, not long after the release of 'moon safari'

along with the laid back, electronic, ambient, trip hop, dance, lounge core, bachelor pad, film score, etc. style of their music, there is the nostalgia element as they borrow from many different genres - you are reminded of jean michel jarre, kraftwerk, eno, early 80s synth bands, disco, jazz, easy listening, brian wilson's sixties beach boys sound, bacharach/david......the list goes on

when making a playlist from their their 3 studio albums, 'moon safari', 10, 000 hz legend' and 'talkie walkie', plus the collection of their early single releases, 'premier symptomes', it was difficult to know what to leave out

this track from 'talkie walkie' is a particular favourite
