    Ingenious in its conception as a soundtrack, weak and tedious as a standalone musical venture, an interminable experience despite its brevity.

    Le Voyage is best when it sets the controls for the tribal prog of Sonic Armada or the ritual beats of Astronomic Club. [Mar 2012, p.92]

    tween Daft Punk's astronaut gear and Air's analog synth-driven Moon Safari, French electronic musicians have historically shown great nostalgia towards the old space age. Continuing the trend is this soundtrack.

    A solid, listenable, blue-collar rap album.

    It's elegant, but hardly likely to inspire any particularly stirring flights of fancy, or any reevaluations of the band's post-Moon Safari discography.

    Air seem to have found little fresh inspiration in his bricolage. [Mar 2012, p.79]

    It's a niche listen. But [...] it can be a charming one, too.

    Pleasingly, it's all comically cosmic, as befits the host movie.

It is much better when watching the movie along with it, which is how it was obviously meant to be listened to. The longer album version really is fantastic, though, as I said, it is slightly like listening to a soundtrack without the movie. The album could stand to be a little longer, but seeing as it is twice the length of the very movie that inspired it, I'd say they've done well.

    Overall, not as good as their full length albums for a standalone listen. But it's still more Air, and that is fine by me!

    A Highly Impressive Short Film Despite the many limitations of a hundred years ago, it was a beautiful, creative, and compact film.
