Air

Air, the French electronic duo, has just released La Voyage Dans La Lune (A Trip to the Moon).

The title is from a silent black & white film from 1902. Directed by Georges Méliès, La Voyage Dans La Lune is considered to be the first science fiction film.

In 1993 a hand-coloured, badly decomposed version of the film was discovered and only last year was fully restored.

Air was asked to compose a soundtrack for this 16 minute film.

Inspired by the experience Air gives us an album of the same name.

“Seven Stars” is from the album and features the vocals of Victoria Legrand from Beach House.

Watch an excerpt from the film here.

MGMT

“It’s Working” is the current featured track off of Congratulations the 2nd album from MGMT. (Both “Flash Delirium” and “Siberian Breaks” from the same album can be heard on earlier posts.) The song has also been completely remixed by the French band Air. Both versions are here as the Song of the Day.
