Air

Loved them in the 90s. Before Moon Safari was the classic EP that set the scene.

I think they stole their sound from RAMP - Come Into Knowledge, the Roy Ayers side project.

That and a little bit of Mandré to my ears.

That Moby album 'Play' from that era was a great album too.

I like Air and Zero 7 and have many of their albums.
With this in mind I saw Zero 7 a few years back and I thought they were awful live.
I was saddened.

Zero 7 was the first suggestion that came to me. Simple Things is still one of my ‘go to’ albums. If you like Air, check out some of these artists...

- Fragile State
- Alucidnation
- The KLF (Chillout album)
- Lemon Jelly
- Aphex Twin (Selected Ambient works)
- Chicane

To name a few

Stating the bleeding obvious, but Air's most obvious antecedent is Histoire de Melody Nelson
