Air- The BEST French Electronic Music Duo - General

Also known as Air(French Band)(who names their band something so common anyway) I think that the most similar band to air is Royksopp [img]http://daily-songs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/air2.jpg[/img] Info [quote] The French band Air is a duo consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel. They went to school in Versailles, (Lycée Jules Ferry) before forming the band in 1995. Their critically acclaimed first album Premiers Symptômes was followed by the release of Moon Safari, The Virgin Suicides (soundtrack), 10,000hz Legend, and Talkie Walkie. In 2007, Air released the album Pocket Symphony. Their latest album, released in 2009, is Love 2.

I like the mellowness of their songs. Imo, many great electro duos with great sound come from France

Got Air Safari on vinyl the other day. So nice

SEXY BOY, goes through my head every time I see the band mentioned. My favorites are Moon safari and Talkie Walkie.

Gotta disagree, Justice is the best French electronic music duo.

Daft Punk

HOLY FUCKING SHIT HUGE COINCIDENCE. First heard of them today, this is some fucking awesome shit.

It's the end result that matters. besides, they add various instrumentation to their samples. And then there's Justice.
