CMR: Air- Premiers Symptomes

Ahhhh Air. I was intoduced to this band through a friend about 2001ish. A more aptly named band has never been. Air would be the national anthem of a country that defied gravity. A place where everyone floats in a warm climate and your brain has been saturated with painkillers. Yes, Air is an electronica mood band. But what is the difference between Air and say.... new age, waves crashing, wind blowing, cheesy crap. Well, the songs (if you can call them that) are cohesive, they go somewhere. It may be a slow relaxing pace but they are moving.
Air is made up of two French guys who like to wear suits. Premiers Symptomes is made up of thier singles before they became popular. So this CD is French electronica made up of pre-hits. Yes, I know that is a hard sell no matter what planet you are on but if you are relaxed and looking to stay that way "premiers Symptomes is the road for you.
I will admit that I have not listened to this album in a long time but once I did listen to it I realized this is not an album to listen to over and over again. This is an ocational taste of cloud only to be savored infrequently lest you start to fade away also.
I would go down the list of songs but they do not even list them on the CD and it really does not matter. Just plug in and space out man.
