patipDec 14, 2006i know that not everybody liked it. but when you are a strong fan of Air, you can notice that this album is what it would be a step forward in Air's sound, if they published a new work. please, hear it with more attention. it sounds strange, maybe kitsch, but not exactly repeating Air. really! ... uh, Sorry.. i love this album ;0). pati from Mexico City

PatricioEDec 27, 2006I think its a great work, if u are a big fan of air, you can notice the influence he has on air´s music, the complete album is very relaxing, perfect for a rainy afternoon!! greetings from monterrey, mexico.

DanSep 21, 2006Maybe I'm just a total "Air"head, but Darkel makes me happy. It is at the very least a nice hold-over until another Air album, but I think it holds up on it's own.

BrianFNov 2, 2006This is the poppy sound I wish Air had! I hope this influences the next Air album. It reminds me of John Lennon and George Harrison and the lyrics are kind of dreamy and psychedelic and mellow. I love that. I think it's highly original. Ace!!

LeoFSep 30, 2006I'm giving it 4 only for the production (which is good). He's trying too hard to be a pop star and there's nothing wrong in that. The problem is that the whole album sounds faceless and tepid and the songs are terrible.

Shot through with attention to detail and the lush production typical of Dunkel’s main concern, Darkel might have its moments of archness but it knows how to shake it’s booty, too.
-
Without his band's usual deep-pile arrangements, these twinkling melodies and synth-prog twiddles sound rather insubstantial.
-
Sometimes moody, sometimes optimistic, this doesn’t feel sure of what it wants to be and instead feels a little like an Air outtakes album.
