Air – London HMV Forum – Saturday 10th July 2010
Music Reviews
Monday, 12 July 2010 Written by Rob Sleigh


Despite recently releasing their fifth album, French duo Air are probably most remembered for their 1998 debut ‘Moon Safari’, which included the hit singles ‘Sexy Boy’ and ‘Kelly Watch the Stars’ and has become known as one of the greatest ever chill-out albums.

Although their later releases have not quite reached the dizzying heights of that impressive first record, the Versailles-based group have continued to delight fans. Air’s twelve-year career has seen their sound evolve within the boundaries of electronic music and, while some of their songs can only be enjoyed whilst wandering around B&Q, they have managed to produce some praiseworthy examples on several occasions.

Stereoboard Interview Factory Records Legends A Certain Ratio Ahead Of Thier Gig At The FAC251

In the 1970’s Factory Records began revolutionising the way British music was produced and the way artists were managed. The original creation of Tony Wilson and Alan Erasmus, Factory Records soon shaped the Manchester music scene and sowed the seeds for the 90’s Madchester Revolution that followed. The list of acts working under the label are huge and diverse, containing some huge names such as Joy Division, New Order, The Happy Mondays and A Certain Ratio.

Factory did not do things the normal way, or the cheap way. Famed for never really making any money, no expense was spared, record sleeves, posters, flyers were all pieces of art in themselves as Peter Saville was given the creative freedom and ultimately the cash needed to produce the artwork that the label was famed for.
