Jean-Benoit Dunckel - H+ (½ of Air)

Surprised this didn't get posted. Very 'Air' like. Unsurprisingly. Good, dreamy pop.

This year marks 20 years since the release of French duo Air’s landmark album, Moon Safari. While that LP is getting a special glow-in-the-dark 20th anniversary vinyl edition to mark the occasion, Air co-founder JB Dunckel has also just released his latest solo album, H+.

i cant deal with his look

one of the worst covers ive seen in my life, what is he doing riding a crystal phallus ?

music sounds also horrible  , ultra cheesy dream pop with boring vocals

I like the general theme and the fact that there are a couple of tracks where he doesn't sing. Other than that, Dunckel gonna Dunckel.

I've always liked Air and their slightly, odd and wistful, future-retro style. Yeah, it's ultra cheesy, dream pop - but that's their signature sound. If you don't like any of their previous stuff, you're not gonna like this. I've always thought some it to be very tongue-in-cheek and deliberately pretentious. 

i remember thinking darkel was good. but i was young then.

The Nicolas Godin album was very good. Will pass on this.

I also love Air but they are uncomparable to this crap 

but yeah the other half Nicolas Godin seems to make cool stuff, sounds like rock mixed with baroque and 8bit sounds.
