Air is not on this CD Very ecletic,very well paced. This is Belle & Sebastian at there late night best. Some reviewers are mixing this with The LateNight tales which features Air and Belle & Sabastian which is just as good. make sure you get the CD with 26 tracks not 18 for both these CD's. .
Air to Breathe
Rather disappointing. Not impressive at all. Nothing compares to what they are capable of doing, I'd rather have their own work.
Air's LNT - awesome addition to any Air collection
If you listen to this CD and then you listen to any AIR CD, you can really see how the songs on this CD influence their music. This is one of my favorite CDs at the moment. The only complaint I have about the mix of songs is Minnie Ripperton's "Loving You". It has never really been a favorite of mine, mostly because it gets stuck in my head everytime I hear it. On the other hand, choices like "All Cats are Grey" by the Cure and Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan" are a great start to this moody trip that you really should check out. .
Don't order this cd.
Both of these cds have been the regular, domestic, 18 track versions. Amazon has sent me two copies of this cd (the original and a replacement). You will not get what you see described here.
SUPERB!
To reiterate the obvious - this is a compilation and not an original artist album and it represents what has inspired Air musically and shaped their sound to what it is today. Nothing else to add that hasn't already been said. This is a MUST BUY.
