My final word on the new Air album is that it IS really quite brilliant…. It just doesn’t work so well when I try to dissect it song by song. Which is something I enjoy doing a lot, unfortunately. It works very well as a whole, though, and one of the best tracks is in fact one I didn’t get around to reviewing last week – ‘Caramel Prisoner’, which opens with a beautiful synth/vocal/beach boys melting sea of sound – really amazing…

Really, really enjoyed Ramsey Lewis‘s ‘Mother Nature’s son’ over the weekend as well. Really nice, varied album, with incredibly hip beats on it.
