The French indie-electronica band made waves with their 1998 debut 'Moon Safari,' but since then their only release has been the motion picture score to Sofia Coppola's "The Virgin Suicides." The wait for their true sophomore album is over with the release of '10,000 Hz Legend,' which includes guest vocal contributions from Beck and Buffalo Daughter.

Every song on this album absolutely sings to me. I first got hooked by "How Does It Make You Feel", but quickly found the rest of the album to be just as redeeming. 10,000 Hz Legend is one of those rare albums that you can just play from start to finish and lose yourself. As much as I love Moon Safari and Pocket Symphony, this is undoubtedly my favourite.

Disappointing follow-up to the classic 'Moon safari'. Talkie walkie, the successor, is also way better. The first three songs are great, air-standard, build up tension and give the band a new, heavier, direction. Most of the following songs are pretty directionless and miss the magic of the other albums. Still, surely not a bad album.

So far ahead of its time, theis will always be air's most modern album.Will be seen as their classic in years to come

I love the band and I own their previous works. Though I feel it's very important to present something new (rather than just simply repeat the formula of great albums such as moon safari), I think that 10,000 hrtz legend lost that french vibe that have Air's records an experience from the outter space. Radio#1, Don't be light and The Vagabond sound like 'northamerican taste' tracks, very commercial, and in some ways, empty. The rest of the album is soft and dark, lonely, romantic and sincere; the perfect follow-up of the Virgin Suicides sdtk.
