Air - Pocket Symphony 9.1/10

French electronic duo Air make soundtracks to accompany your mysteriously bizarre dreams. With the help of Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Air has succeeded once again in creating a gorgeously conceived and crafted album. The 12 songs weave in and out of each other hypnotically with downtempo beats and delicate instrumentation. Pulp front-man Jarvis Cocker contributes breathy, self-assured vocals on the song “One Hell of a Party”, which, combined with Air’s new affinity for obscure Japanese instruments, highlights Air’s musical progression.
