Air, consisting of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel, emerged as influential electronic artists in the late '90s. Their debut album, "Moon Safari," released in 1998, showcased their unique blend of influences, including Burt Bacharach and Vangelis. Subsequent albums like "10,000 Hz Legend" and "Pocket Symphony" continued to push boundaries, with the duo's music also finding success in soundtracks for films like "The Virgin Suicides."
Godin and Dunckel met in college in Versailles and formed Air in the mid-'90s. Their early singles gained attention, leading to the release of "Premiers Sympt├┤mes" and their acclaimed debut album. Over the years, they explored various musical styles, collaborated with notable artists, and ventured into film scoring. Both members pursued solo projects while periodically reuniting for Air releases and special performances, maintaining a lasting impact on electronic music.
