Paris, France (1995 – present)
There are at least six artists with this name:
1. French electronica duo formed in 1995. (The main producer of music under the name Air)
2. Chicago-based jazz trio formed in the early 70s.
3. Alias of ambient producer Pete Namlook.
4. Alias of Japanese artist Koji kurumatani.
5. German krautrock band.
6. Lithuanian artist band “Artist in residence”
1) The French band Air is a duo consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel. They went to school in Versailles, Paris (Lycée Jules Ferry) before forming the band in 1995. Their critically acclaimed first album Premiers Symptômes was followed by the release of Moon Safari, The Virgin Suicides (soundtrack), 10,000hz Legend, and Talkie Walkie. In 2007, Air released the album Pocket Symphony. Their latest album, released in 2009, is Love 2.
Although Air’s music is often referred to as electronica or trip-hop and is often found in such bins in record stores, their form of electronic music actually owes more to the synthesizer sounds of the 1970s such as Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis. Other influences that are more readily apparent than house and techno are psychedelic rock pioneers Pink Floyd and krautrockers Tangerine Dream (although there are some echoes of dance music styles in the production). Another influence is French crooner Serge Gainsbourg. Air’s music also has jazz inflections at times, and their ability to improvise is more clearly highlighted in the live arena.

C'est quand même triste, y'a plus du tout cette espèce d'équilibre entre chaleur et langueurs des années 1997-2004. Bref, à suivre si on aime le buddha bar lounge quoi. [2]
