Glitter and Awe and Gasping for AIR

I cannot believe that AIR did not sell out. What's wrong people, you've missed the boat?! Chances are that if you were introduced to Electronica at any point in the last 10 years or so that AIR has been in your ears.

The show was at the Riviera, which I have never been to, and it was phenomenal. Featuring songs off of their new album Pocket Symphony as well as the oldies but goodies from 10,000 Hz Legend and Moon Safari the show came alive through their light show.

The lights ranged from basic color fields to a backdrop of glistening starts to an all out strobe. At one point I thought I was going to have a visual seizure - in the best possible way of course.

While their most recent album wasn't a particularly dramatic contribution to the music world, I did find it at least pleasant to listen to and perhaps a little more interesting live. Perhaps this is why the show was less attended than it seemed it should have been but thats really no excuse for those of you who have heard them previously!

In any case, it was an awesome display of performative genius and you should have been there.
