French iconic duo AIR is releasing a special Live & Demos edition of their seminal debut album Moon Safari for Record Store Day on April 12th: a recycled White vinyl release including ten unique rarities, demo versions and BBC live sessions. Since its release, Moon Safari has left an indelible mark on pop culture, with over 3 million albums sold.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary last year, the release of Moon Safari catapulted Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benot Dunckel to the uppermost rung of electronic musics ladder and left an indelible imprint on pop culture at the end of the 20th Century.

AIRs boundary-pushing album has long been praised for its innovative sonics that have inspired countless musicians to think outside the box, so much so that their influence even transcended their own medium. Since Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel formed the band in 1995, the prolific duo has released six albums in addition to their acclaimed EP Premiers Symptmes, which was followed by the release of the classic Moon Safari along with two soundtracks that all together sold millions of copies. AIR garnered an extensive list of worldwide accolades for their unique brand of downtempo electronic music that not only sculpted the sound for the next generation of electronic-influenced pop music but also was able to withstand the test of time.

Moon Safari birthed hit singles in Kelly Watch The Stars, All I Need and Sexy Boy, sold millions of copies around the world, and pushed AIR into headline status at major festivals. 25 years on, its not hard to reason why Moon Safari has stood the test of time. Its a mood you want to live inside of forever. Its a revelation. Its conversation pit music for a better future.
