About
Air – Play Moon Safari
25 years of AIR’s iconic debut album MOON SAFARI
25 years after the release of AIR’s iconic debut album MOON SAFARI., the renowned duo will play live their album at the Rockhal.
On January 16th 1998, Air released Moon Safari, an album which catapulted Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel to the uppermost rung of electronic music’s ladder. Here were two 20-somethings with just a single prior EP under their belts, yet they exuded on tape the confidence and pedigree of seasoned pros.Today, the record’s legacy is canonical, but at the time of release, its multi-million success was far from assured.
In no time at all, Air’s downtempo influence was easy to detect all around. Through Moon Safari., Air transfixed some of the great visionaries of the late 20th century — David Bowie, Madonna, Beck — as well as influencing preeminent aesthetes of the incoming age — including Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kevin Parker and Sofia Coppola, whose creative relationship with Air became as synergetic as that of Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch (another fan).
Moon Safari birthed hit singles in “Kelly Watch The Stars,” “All I Need” and “Sexy Boy”, shifted million copies around the world, and pushed Air into headline contention at banner festivals.
25 years on, it’s not hard to alight upon why “Moon Safari” has stood the test of time.
It’s a mood you want to live inside of forever. It’s a revelation. It’s conversation pit music for a better future.
In 2024, AIR perform “Moon Safari” live for the first time ever.
