Album Reviews
When the French duo Jean-Benoit Dunckel and Nicholas Godin released their 'Moon Safari' album in 1998 it was hailed as an easy-listening masterpiece and started an outbreak of similar-sounding French instrumentalists. The sound created was one of kitsch 60's easy-listening soundscapes allied with polite Kraftwerk touches yet still sounding like it was made in the '90s. This mini-album of previous efforts has been heralded by the press in similar fashion. And yet to these ears much of the music on offer here is mere background music and only on occasions does it emerge as anything more exciting. The track which sounds most like Kraftwerk is the best, 'J'ai Dormi Sous L'Eau' (I Sleep Under The Water) but it lacks the emotional impact of their Teutonic predecessors. Elsewhere the album is just an exercise in easy-listening; pleasant enough and yet rather dull.
