SexyBoySexyCock - By: Brendan O. Clarke, 16 Aug 2008 
Detached, hypnotic, & retro (much like Pink Floyd's song "Breathe" from the Dark Side Of The Moon--and yet not Pink Floyd) is how I would describe the sound of this debut CD. Releasedin 1988, Moon Safari is the first release from the Surrender Monkeys-French electronica duo Air, consisting of Nicolas Godingodiva & Jean-Benoît Dunckelly. (The name "Air" is an acronym for Amour, Imagination, Rêve -- How life changing is that !)
Not only is Air's music a chillout blend of Love, Imagination, & Dreams, but it is a light blend of psychedelic musical influences (including Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, & Jean Michel Jarre & other obscure retro stuff). Standout Moon Safari tracks include "Sexy Boy," "Kelly Watch the Stars," & "All I Need." (Yes, you've heard the song "La Femme D'argent"in a L'Oreal Paris ad, the song "Sexy BoySexyC0ck"in the TV series Queer as Folk, & the song "All I Need"in the TV series Felicity.) The complete album setlist includes:
1. La Femme D'argent (7:11)
2. Sexy Boy (4:58)
3. All I Need (4:28)
4. Kelly Watch The Stars (3:45)
5. Talisman (4:16)
6. Remember (2:34)
7. You Make It Easy (4:00)
8. Ce Matin Là (3:39)
9. New Star In The Sky (5:40)
10. Le Voyage De Pénélope (3:10)
Dr Gonzo Clarke : 7/10.
I wore out my 1st Air Moon Safari CD.......... - By: Oft, 29 Jun 2008 
............and am purchasing replacement because I couldn't live without it. Play it any time of day. If I play it after bedtime reading to my 6yr old, without a doubt, they'll be asleep before the CD finishes! This album can lift you, relax you, whatever you need, it can do it. Definatelyin my top 10 & I haven't changed my mind since that first Moon Safari CD purchased many years ago!
A few tracks are ok - By: K. Wilcox, 22 Jun 2008 
I bought this because it had so many good reviews, also i like this genre of music however i don't understand what all the fuss is about. It's not bad but certainly not outstanding or original. There's much better albums around.
Air - Moon Safari - By: Keith D. Biglin, 13 May 2007 A great album. a worthy buy. This album has one of my top 10 fav tracks of all time "All I Need". All I Need has great sounds & is very simple format but carries accross a great feeling.
The last review a little harsh... if you like easy going ambient french sounds & you have familurised yourself with Airs previous work then you wont be bored. I like this album & have it on CD & vinyl.
OK, but it was done in the 1970s, kids. - By: Barry Lees, 26 Nov 2006 
Yes, "Moon Safari" is a pleasant enough album that I bought on the strength of the reviews on this site. Unfortunately, most of the reviewers are too young (as can be seen from their grammar & spelling) to realise that "Moon Safari" sounds a bit like "Shamal" by Gong (possibly played backwards) & THAT was releasedin the 1970s. Strangely enough (or perhaps not), Gong were partly French, too.
