Beats Per Minute
As a package on its own, Air’s Le voyage dans la lune doesn’t hit especially hard, but when paired with the historic film, they become a dreamy, fulfilling piece of entertainment and mystery

Captivates enough with its sense of atmosphere, drama and melodic capabilities to make those 30 minutes fly by like a rocket straight into the moon's eye

It's a niche listen. But, as proved on the sublime Seven Stars (with Beach House's Victoria Legrand), it can be a charming one, too

It’s probably time to accept that the Air who made Sexy Boy will never be coming back, but Le Voyage Dans La Lune, at its best, is a pretty compelling listen
