Air, who needs it?

It snowed last night.
It's fallen off the trees now but remains on the ground. Winter is coming; it may be here already. The air changed last week, that subtle change which makes you breath differently. Air is a music duo from Versailles, France.

Some say Air is a necessity to survive. I think thats a bit extreme, but I have began to hallucinate and black out during long absences of their really wonderful music.

Like any conversation about bands, favorite albums are always mentioned when talking about Air. It bothers me how few ever mention the AIRities box set. I mean talk about an excellent collection of remixes and rare originals. There is a reason for the name to be a pun off “rarities” though; As some of the tracks do require a unique type of personal taste to enjoy. But a manny others are just fantastic little gems forgotten in the labyrinth of the Air discography.

Here are my personal selections, I think you’ll enjoy them.
You also might not.
Either way, its worth a listen if your into Air; and who are we kidding, everyone is into air. Its really no good at all to be out of air.


Air - Sexy Boy (Etienne de Crecy & The Flower Pistols Remix)
Air - Cosmic Bird (With Jean-Jacques Perrey)
Air - Highschool Prom (Playground Love - Rob Remix)
Air - Cherry Blossom Girl (Hope Sandoval Version)
