Distributor: RED Distribution Notes: Listeners seeking to replicate a relaxed and lounge-y vibe in their living rooms are lucky to have the Late Night Tales series of artist-compiled mix CDs. This second mix from the duo Air--which shares a few tracks with their 2005 compilation for the series--is an intriguing offering that posits The Band ("I Shall Be Released"), Robert Wyatt ("P.L.A."), Elliott Smith ("Let's Get Lost"), and even Ravel ("Pavane pour une Infante Defunte") as "chill out" music. And they're right--this collection flows effortlessly, radiating quiet beauty.
French postmodernists Air raid every aspect of retro pop music, from the sublime to the ridiculous, in fashioning their sonic bricolage. Everything from Krautrock-inspired electronics to 1960s lounge music is incorporated into the work of Nicolas Godin and J.B. Dunckel. Their full-length debut, 1998's MOON SAFARI, earned massive critical plaudits and put the duo at the forefront of modern, electronic-oriented pop.
