MOON SAFARI
10th Anniversary Edition
Released April 15, 2008
"Moon Safari promised something new, different and exciting. In many ways the album felt like a step into the future, which is ironic really as the ingredients were a mix of new wave, euro disco and synthesizers. Somehow though, it felt like an album ahead of it's time. So, here we are, ten years after the original release and you have in your hands the tenth anniversary edition of Moon Safari. It features the original album with bonus cuts including, I'm proud to say, a couple from the 1998 KCRW session. At this point, I think it's fair to say that AIR have contributed enormously to our musical landscape. Their experimentation and willingness to push musical boundaries into this still young century mark this re-issue as not just another album with bonus tracks for the fan, but a worthwhile addition to any music lovers collection" - Nic Harcourt, 89.9 KCRW, Los Angeles, February 2008
Recognized 10 years after its original release as a genre-defining classic, “Moon Safari” is not only a benchmark in electronic pop, but also the album that established Nicolas Godin and JB Dunckel as two of the most imaginative musicians working today. Having sold over 2 million copies worldwide, this highly revered album has become a consistent catalog best-seller, and has garnered a loyal and time-tested fanbase, crossing many demographic boundaries along the way.
To celebrate the band’s illustrious first 10 years, in which they have enjoyed many career-defining moments and countless critical accolades, Astralwerks is proud to present this expanded, deluxe version of “Moon Safari”, a beautiful artifact which no true AIR fan will want to miss out on.
This strictly limited edition release is a 3-disc package wrapped up in a collector case bound book (DVD-size).
Disc 1 features the seminal debut album while the 10-track second disc includes rarities, remixes (Beck, Moog Cookbook) and key songs from radio sessions recorded during 1998 on both sides of the Atlantic. Disc 3 - a DVD - is the hour-long Mike Mills documentary “Eating, Sleeping, Waiting and Playing” filmed in New York, London and Paris during Air’s first tour.
