From the creators of the classic albums “Moon Safari” and “Talkie Walkie”, Air deliver a career masterpiece, their most seductive and accomplished work to date. Pocket Symphony is introspectively somber. Only “Mer du Japon” rises to a groove, while the rest recline in a luxurious torpor. That mood works especially well on instrumentals like the minimalist cycles of “Night Sight” and the Enoesque “Lost Message,” with its circular piano line and ice-sheathed string synthesizers. Pocket Symphony won’t yield any pop hits, but it could be the soundtrack to endless rainy afternoons. [Air - Pocket Symphony]
