Air

[corianderstem]

I had no idea what this album was all about (can you tell I skimmed the posts in Random Music?), and came across it on Amazon, saw the gist and was all "ooh," since I just saw Hugo and loved it so much I cried at least three times.

Listened to a few samples; I think I'll get this. The only other Air album I have is Moon Safari.

Get Talkie Walkie as well, i don't know how many times I have to say it... I honestly think its better than Moon Safari

 

[corianderstem]

you need to say it at least once for those of us who don't usually read the Air thread.

I'll check it out - thanks! (Figures - no sample tracks on Amazon. Maybe it's on Spotify.)

Elfa is actually right about this one, Talkie Walkie is great stuff.

I haven't seen Hugo, what is the relation?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Nor have I but I believe Georges Méliès is featured prominently in it.

I really enjoyed this. I watched the DVD first and I thought they did a good job scoring the film. Listening to the CD, I like how they fleshed out the tracks.

I think I was approaching the album more as a film score than as an Air record, and it works really well in that sense.

Which songs are your favs so far? I think I might try to pick it up at FYE on my way home from work today (if they have it).

Go see it if it is playing within 100 miles of you. DO IT.

And yes, Elfa is (hold in your surprise) correct. The film and the filmmaker are pivotal plot points.

Oh my God. I noticed on the 10th that it was the daily deal album, but I didn't notice it came with a download of the video
