Amour, Imagination, Rêve (AIR) What if that band was so influential that they start to influence themselves? This is Air. Inevitably, bands will try new things album to album. Love 2 is clearly an album inspired by their previous collective works. This is evident to those familiar with Air. The inclusion of Be A Bee is a huge bonus, as this song was written years ago but they only performed it live (until now). This album fits perfectly with the AIR mantra of love, imagination, dream. If you like any other Air album, you will enjoy Love 2. For those of you who are new to Air, this would be a great place to start. See them live. You will be inspired.
I really liked it..
I like this new, retro and psychedelic dance of France. I didn't like the last album, to me that did not flow. Personally is is awesome work by this duo.
Doesn't flow.
Their early work seems to usually be their best. I don't know what it is with artists. Having been a fan for a while, this album just proves my point. With hints of there old selves in songs like Be a Bee, maybe they will some day come back around to make that melodic soul-moving music as in La Femme D'argent.
Bottom line, I don't and won't buy this latest album. I'll just keep wearing out Moon Safari, Talkie Walkie, and Pocket Symphony. .
Brilliant!
The sound is great. Brilliant album! This is the second Air album I decided to buy (first being a Moon Safari) and I am so happy I did. All tracks are fantastic and somehow feel related to each other. Love 2 is not just a bunch of tunes but it has a feeling of a real album (sequence is important, of course). I would suggest buying an entire album, as intended by the artists. This music will make you feel good. (Also, it is good to have a little break from an entire month of listening to the remastered The Beatles :)) .
Like a Fine Wine
Where many electronic groups get stuck in a "style rut", AIR just keeps on progressing. As my title reads, with age AIR just keeps getting better and better. Every track on this album is beautiful. If you have enjoyed AIR's previous works the purchase of this one is a no brainer, if you were on the fence/did not like "Pocket Symphony" then I would give this album a few listens before purchasing. If you are a fan of AIR's more danceable tunes I would suggest picking up the track "Eat my Beat". If you want a taste of the "new stuff" check out "Be a Bee". Those two tunes stand out the most for me so far, though there are elements on every track that I really enjoy. Excellent album. .
