Our Take

When French electronic duo AIR burst onto the scene in the late 90s, they were hailed as pioneers of the downtempo genre, blending dreamy vibes with lush instrumentation. Fast forward to 2001, and they've unleashed their sophomore effort "10 000 Hz Legend" upon us.

From the moment you hit play, you're transported to a world where robots roam free and the future is now. The album kicks off with the psychedelic soundscape of "Electronic Performers", setting the tone for what's to come. Tracks like "Don't Be Light" and "Radian" showcase AIR's mastery of sonic textures, layering synths upon synths to create a mesmerising auditory experience.

But it's not all smooth sailing on this sonic journey. "How Does It Make You Feel?" delves into darker territory, exploring themes of alienation and despair. It's like the soundtrack to a late-night existential crisis, soundtracked by a robot orchestra.

Overall, "10 000 Hz Legend" may not be as immediately accessible as AIR's debut, but it rewards repeated listens. It's a testament to the duo's willingness to push boundaries and experiment with new sounds. So sit back, dim the lights, and let AIR take you on a trip through the sonic stratosphere. You won't be disappointed.
