Che succede?
In copertina un disegno tipico del peggior rock progressivo anni '70 quei disegni di paesaggi lunari o del deserto (volevano infatti rappresentare una stazione radiofuturista nel deserto... hmm).

Il primo disco dei francesi AIR (JB Dunckel e Nicolas Godin), "Moon Safari" era molto piacevole, avevano sfruttato l'onda alzata dai Daft Punk, per creare la scena francese e approfittarne, niente di male di per sé.
Piacevole per la stupida rilassatezza di "Sexy Boy" o di "La Femme d'Argent" ed i suoni retrò appoggiati su delicati tappeti. Senza capire perché lo avevo ascoltato tantissimo, perché senza pretese, un disco di sottofondo.

Immenso era stato invece il remix "Alex Gopher-Gordini mix" comparso su "Premiers Symptomes". Qui funziona bene "Radio One", fra tastierine vintage e batteria elettronica, la 808, per intenderci ed un cantato effettato.
Poi "Vagabond" la canzone scritta assieme a Beck, introdotta da una fisarmonica (troppo a lungo) seguita da una chitarra acustica con Beck che canta svaccato come al solito (rimane però una tipica produzione di Beck)...

Poi troviamo archi e flauti, siamo al prog rock (Jethro Tull?). Poi ancora chitarra acustica per armonie 60's, 70's ancora una chitarra e un pianoforte appiccicate malamente su tappeti elettronici.

Un tentativo di eclettismo malriuscito. Come quasi mai l'eclettismo riesce.
Buono da ascoltare alla radio. Su Radio One. Un paio di minuti.

01   Electronic Performers (05:35)

We are the syncronizers
Send messages through time code
Midi clock rings in my mind
Machines gave me some freedom
Synthesizers gave me some wings
They drop me through twelve bit samplers
We are electronic performers
We are electronics
We need to use envelope filters
To say how we feel
Riding on magnetic waves
We search new programs for your pleasure
I want to patch my soul on your brain
BPM controls your heartbeats
We are the syncronizers
We are electronic performers

02   How Does It Make You Feel? (04:37)

I am feeling very warm right now
Please don't disappear
I am spacing out with you
You are the most beautiful entity that I've ever dreamed of

At night I will protect you in your dreams
I will be your angel
You worry so much about not having enough time together
It makes no difference to me
I would be happy with just one minute in your arms
Let's have an extended play together
You're telling me that we live too far to love each other
But our love can stretch farther than the eye can see
So how does this make you feel?

How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?

Do you know that when you look at me, it is a salvation?
I've been waiting for you so long
I can drive on that road forever
I wish you could exist to live on my planet
Well it's very hard for me to say these things in your presence
So how does this make you feel?

How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?
How does it make you feel?

So how does this make you feel?

Well, I really think you should quit smoking

04   The Vagabond (05:37)

Golden waves
In all directions
I could lose my soul right here

Colour lights
On the runway
Makes a stranger feel unchained

I'm running after time and I miss the sunshine
Summer days will come happiness will be mine
I'm lost in my words I don't know where I'm going
I do my best I can not to worry about things

I feel loose
I feel haggard
Don't know what I'm looking for

Something true
Something lovely
That will make me feel alive

I'm running after time and I miss the sunshine
Summer days are not so far everything's
Gonna be fine

Shoot, use your gun of life
I'm not afraid to die
In your arms
Shoot, use your gun of life
Keep on watching me
Poison me

Prince from the biomass
Swimming in the waves of your intimacy
I'm able to offer
My love for centuries
But I have no time right now
Meet my desire sensors
My atom juice of joy
You want to fuse my affective circuits
Run to the fire exit
Use your cooling system
You'll never reach the 7th sky today

This is the story of a country girl
Back in town from her country house
She came to me with her muddy boots
She destroyed all my carpet
You know how to do it
Wonder milky bitch
You never wear cosmetic
You don't like arithmetic
You know how to do it
Wonder milky bitch
Tasting,touching,swallowing me
Drinking me like bloody mary
You know how to do it

You don't wear cosmetic
You don't like arithmetic
You know how to do it
Wonder milky bitch
Tasting,touching,swallowing me
Drinking me like bloody mary

 Un'ora di musica che si trasforma in un desiderio onirico di felicità, una felicità movimentata.

 Questo CD è la prova che i sogni possono agire dentro di noi sotto forma di BPM, sintetizzatori angelici e atmosfere fiabesche.
