Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 3/16/00, pp.72-3
3 stars out of 5 - "...an album that's some previously unknown form of spooky goth music for kids....exceedingly strange yet scrupulously crafted and intelligent..."
Entertainment Weekly - 10/12/01, p.44
Ranked #93 in EW's "100 Best Movie Soundtracks"
Q - 3/00, p.99
3 stars out of 5 - "...an eclectic selection of musical sketches, few of which pay any heed to orthodox song structure....teetering pleasantly close to what used to be called ambient, others sound like half-completed electronic doodles..."
Uncut - 3/00, p.85
3 stars out of 5 - "...The prevailing mood here is solemn and nocturnal...It's all very soft-focus, very regal..."
Alternative Press - 4/00, pp.76-7
4 out of 5 - "...unmistakably the sound of Air - lush analog keyboards float over dubby bass and jazzy drums - creating that intangible atmosphere that made them famous..."
Magnet - 1-2/01, p.44
Included in Magnet's "20 Best Albums of 2000" - "...Evokes the mysteries of adolescence....The sinister bass-line pull of sex, the chilly, synthesized fear of the future and long, starry-eyed stretches of reflective boredom..."
CMJ - 1/31/00, p.3
"...Air's accomplishment resides in its ability to fashion the cheese of decades gone by into a sweet, seductive melancholia."
Melody Maker - 2/29/00, pp.48-9
4 stars out of 5 - "...painless...providing 13 beautifully mournful moments which would make even a Mr Bean film seductive."
Mojo (Publisher) - 6/02, p.68
Included in Mojo's "100 Coolest Movie Soundtracks".
Mojo (Publisher) - 2/00, p.86
"...confirms that Air's 'modus operandi' is perfectly suited to bringing subtle shades of beauty to incidental fragments..."
NME (Magazine) - 2/26/00, p.36
8 out of 10 - "...[It] is Air's Nicholas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel at their best - entirely removed from logic and gleefully, wickedly free to roam their own, unique world..."
