SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Tracks! Air!

SummersRadio™ New Music + Bonus Tracks! Air - 'Cosmic Trip'/ 'Sonic Armada'/ 'Playground Love (Vibraphone Version)/ (Nosferatu Mix By Flower Pistols)

Air is everywhere. It's true - even as I'm writing this a commercial just came on for a Samsung Galaxy tabletphone featuring their song 'Alone In Kyoto' - which was first featured in the 2003 film 'Lost In Translation' - and included on their 2004 album 'Talkie Walkie'. Although I've already featured four songs from their new album 'Le Voyage Dans La Lune' including the first single 'Seven Stars' back in December: http://summersradio.blogspot.com/2011/12/summersradio-new-music-air-featuring.html and three other standout tracks 'Astronomic Club', 'Parade', and 'Lava' on the day the album was released (in North America) last month: http://summersradio.blogspot.com/2012/02/summersradio-new-music-air.html I'm going to feature a couple more tracks from it today - because it's that good!

I've been listening to the cd several times this weekend - and I found a solution to my one criticism of it - that it's a bit short - as it clocks in at a mere 31 minutes and 22 seconds. I've discovered that if you play the recording on repeat several times that it sounds much longer - and strangely familiar :)

So lets travel deeper dans la lune - 'join us with no fear on our fantastic trip to the moon'. This is the ninth track on the album called 'Cosmic Trip' which features some wonderful xylophone style synth sounds and some truly cosmic backing strings action... Enjoy!



This is the fifth track on 'Le Voyage Dans La Lune' called 'Sonic Armada' - an instrumental jam featuring an electric sitar and synths that occasionally sound like a record scratching - perhaps the closest Air will ever come to writing a Beastie Boys tune... Enjoy!



Bonus Tracks! Of course 'Le Voyage Dans La Lune' is not Air's first foray into film inspired recordings - there was of course their score to the 2000 film 'The Virgin Suicides' - which included the single 'Playground Love'.

'Playground Love' was cowritten with - and features the lead vocals of - Gordon Tracks. Here are two very different remixes of the song - starting with the instrumental 'Vibraphone Version' which was released as a bonus track on the Japanese version of the cd, and on the 'Playground Love' EP/ single... Enjoy!



This is another remix from the 'Playground Love' EP - the 'Nosferatu Remix By Flower Pistols' - a radically remodeled version featuring some drug induced saxamaphone and even some cowbell... Enjoy!
