This is one of my favourite CD's by a genre that I hardly own anything from and I just love this disc. The opening track La femme d’argent is a perfect opener and is even jazzy with it's organ keys. It's an ambient track as well that picks up a bit. Very spacey and very jazzy. After this awesome track we get another great one, Sexy Boy. I just love the vocals in this and it's such a cute track too, if that makes sense. It also has that "Let's be happy and kill ourselves" feel to it too. The piano solo is great too. Everyone knows this one and most people love it. All I Need is a good little number and is a track that was also done by [re:jazz] in 2005, which is pretty similar. It's a cool track to listen to. Another jazzy type piece. I don't love it but I don't skip it either. Kelly Watch the Stars is an average track. I actually prefer the video version better. Good baseline but a bit to repedative. Talisman is another great organ piece, which would have been a good album ending track as well. It picks up a bit but for the most part it's a real chill track. The cello and violins that come in later gives me chills sometimes still. Remember is another great track. It has some voxcoder vocals and pretty cool drum beat as well. There's also some strings in this track and this song was actually my favourite from the album for a long while. It also has this kinda of ghostly sounding key hidden in the track a few times. I love this one! You Make It Easy is another female sung vocal track and I love the course tons in this one, gives me chills too, and the bass is awesome too. This was another track I replayed a lot as well. Also features some light acoustic guitar. Ce matin là is an ok piece but a bit too slow and it doesn't really develop or move me in any special way. The horns are nice though and it's still good enough for me not to ever skip it. New Star in the Sky is a really friggn' chill track and probably my least favourite track on here. It's kinda sleepy and doesn't progress anywhere. The album ends with Le voyage de Pénélope and it's a pretty good track. Has a bit of some experimentation going on at times too.
Overall this is one of my favourite albums because I never need to skip a single track. The last three are the one's I don't like as much but I still listen to them and, to me, this is AIRs best album still.
I will say just one thing about Disc Two. All the remixes suck, except for Becks, and live versions and demo's don't really add anything interesting.
Disc Three is a few videos and a great sort of "Making Of" video for this album. A nice little treat to watch.
