Air: Love 2

Air are a french electronica duo active since 1995 having released a total of 6 studio albums and 2 compilation albums. Their 2009 release, 'Love 2'crystalises their electronica style but interestingly adds a psychedelic influence which is seen from the very first track.

The pseudo-Title track 'Love' is a throwback to the early electronica stylings of Jean Michel Jarre, with a typical Air stamp on things through their more prominant use of lush vocoded vocals and non-synthetic instrumentation. Many media outlets have used Air's output through the years in TV ads, the downtempo feel in several of the Love 2 tracks such as 'So Light Is Her Footfall' and 'You Can Tell It To Everybody' give the tracks huge potential.

While a fairly unusual example of an electronic album due to Air's the extended use of world instruments, the album contains several highly interesting tracks, certainly worth a listen.
