Pros: Excellent Album from Air. Cons: Cheesy & Mundane Lyrics on some of the tracks including "Radio # 1".
When the French electronic music scene emerged in early 1998, it gave electronic music some new hope after the disastrous hype it received in the previous year. With acts like Daft Punk, Dimitri from Paris, and Les Rhythmes Digitales, the...
Pros: Classy, energetic, VERY unique and original Cons: Little too progressive at times
