Product Description

Amazon.co.jp

   中流階級のフランス人男性2人組、エールによる初の正式アルバムとなった本作は、ディナー・パーティー用音楽という犬も食わないサブ・ジャンルから軽やかに身をかわす。実際、本作の心地よいサウンドはモロにイージー・リスニング調で、エヴリシング・バット・ザ・ガールの『Walking Wounded』やポーティスヘッドの『Dummy』と並べても違和感がないのだが、あまりにも生気とフランス的なユーモアにあふれた内容ゆえに、白ワインのような退屈な音楽に陥ることがない。たとえば、ファースト・シングルとなった「Sexy Boy」はベロベロの飲んだくれ風エレクトロニカで、オモチャの猿について歌っている――上流階級にふさわしい話題とは言いかねるだろう。

   本作のハイライトは、アメリカ人歌手ベス・ハーシュとの愛の結晶と言うべき「All I Need」と「You Make It Easy」だ。この2曲は、ハーシュの真剣さと誠実さをよく伝えており、エールの音楽的冒険の途上に強烈な愛のムチを入れてくれる。何も知らなければ、ハーシュの言葉は埋もれたジャズの名曲から採られたものと思ってしまいそうだ――それほど本作の仕上がりは見事なのである。（Charlie Porter, Amazon.co.uk）

From Amazon.co.uk

Moon Safari, the first album proper by this pair of middle-class Frenchmen, easily survives unscathed from its billing as that most deadly of sub-genres: dinner party music. True, Moon Safari, with its blatant bliss-provoking easy listening chimes, sits well beside Everything But the Girl's Walking Wounded or Portishead's Dummy, but the album is steeped in too much musical verve and gallic humour to become as dull as Chardonnay. "Sexy Boy", the first single, is a rock-out slab of electronica about a toy monkey, for instance--hardly the thing to discuss in polite society. This album's highs come with their two marriages with the contributing vocals of American Beth Hirsch. "All I Need" and "You Make It Easy" are shockingly successful, with Hirsch bringing gravitas and sincerity, flagging the album with strong emotional pointers in the midst of their musical adventures. If you didn't know, you'd think her words were sampled from a lost jazz classic--that's how good this record sounds. --Charlie Porter

5.0 out of 5 stars 飽きっぽい人にオススメ, 2002/11/27
このレビューの引用元: Moon Safari (CD)
AIRの他のアルバム(ヴァージンスーサイズなど)と比べて、ダントツでオススメです。
曲ひとつひとつのイメージが丁寧に作りこまれていて、曲によってメンバー以外の人が歌うなど、飽きっぽい人でも疲れないで楽しめるアルバムだと思います。Moon Safariが発売されたばかりの頃は、ファッションショーなどで使われていました。

5.0 out of 5 stars やわらかなＡＩＲの響き, 2002/12/5
By ブライトン (オンタリオ) - See all my reviews
これはイイです。アルバムを通して、音全体に薄い膜がかかったような、やわらかくて浮遊感溢れる作品になっています。インスト曲では、エレクトロニクスを使用した上ものの音にとろけそうになります。そして、女性ヴォーカルをフィーチャーした「all I need」と「make it easy」では、ヴォーカリストの吐息まで聞こえてきそうで、かなり良いです。しかもオシャレやしかわいい。男性の方は彼女にプレゼントしたらきっと喜ばれますよ。バンド名どおり、空気を優しくふるわせるような音楽です。超おすすめ。

5.0 out of 5 stars Everybody has it and everybody should, 2002/9/4
このレビューの引用元: Moon Safari (CD)
This is one of those very few albums that everyone should have in their collection. It's probably one of the best three albums of the 1990's, however, it's appeal is truly timeless. This is the album where it really came together for AIR, right from the opening track. From beautiful love songs to chilled-out space grooves, this album has something for everyone. Above all, an overwhelming aura of comfort seems to pervade this album,like that orange shag rug you used to lie on when you were six. You know what I'm talking about.
