Pocket Symphony

Air - Pocket Symphony (Virgin)Début 2007, la sortie de Pocket Symphony était chaudement attendue, il faut dire qu'avec les dernières compositions parrallèles du groupe (Charlotte Gainsbourg, Darkel...) on était en droit d'avoir l'eau à la bouche. Passé le stade des premières écoutes, le sentiment qui s'imposait était la déception, quelques médias les défendaient encore, mais même leur public fervant (dont je fait/faisait partie) semblait être désapointé et lassé par cette album, trop lisse, trop prévisible, et la difference avec les deux albums cités plus haut et le dernier (Talkie Walkie) était bien trop infime. L'impression que le groupe avait trouvé une formule et la déclinait à toutes les sauces était évidente, on est loin de la prise de risque reussie de 10 000Hz Legend. Les insultes fusaient, musique d'ascenceur etc... C'est pourquoi on a boudé cet album. Avant d'y revenir de temps en temps au cour de l'année, et de le réévaluer petit à pe

Review by Heather Phares @ allmusic.com Ever since Moon Safari was hailed as an instant classic, Air has swung back and forth between the experimental and accessible sides that Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel united so perfectly on their debut. 10,000 Hz Legend might have been too grandiose and aggressively experimental for some Air fans, but Talkie Walkie sometimes felt as if the duo

  A masterful body of work, AIR has risen to the occasion in it’s latest album, “Pocket Symphony”. The duo of Dunckel and Godin have proven their talents as they bid us to follow in the world of the electronic and vocal hybrid. “Pocket Symphony”, the long awaited sequel to “Talkie Walkie” (2004) is filled to the brim with classics, especially the stand out track “Somewhere Between Waking and Sleeping.” (more…)

The French duo Air is back with their 6th full length album, but the first since 2004’s Talkie Walkie. As always, the bands sound is incredibly layered with electronica and instrumental melodies. If you are a fan of the band, it will please you to know that this album is something that easily fits in well with the rest of the bands catalouge. the song, Once Upon A Time especially is reminiscent of something that could have partnered well with Cherry Blossom Girl from Talkie Walkie. Former Pulp frontman and now solo artist Jarvis Cocker also appears on One Hell Of A Party, although its certainly not a tune to spin during your party, as it seems to be examining the come down the morning after an all nighter. Neil Hannon (of The Divine Comedy) also lends vocals on another somewhat depressing song, “Somewhere Between Waking and Sleeping”. Overall, the album can drag at times, but this shouldn’t be new territory for Air fans. Pocket Symphony is out in the US tom
