Air, Air Play Moon Safari, October 15
Where were you in 1998? Probably vibing along to Air’sMoon Safari, allowing the brain to melt over electronic music in a way it may never have before, and feeling cooler than literally anyone else around you as the beats and treats filled the headphones of your Sony CD Discman. This fall, the French duo of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel take their classic debut album out on the North American road for some 25th anniversary affection, seducing Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway on October 15. It’s the first time Air will perform the record in full on this continent, according to reports, and the show will be augmented by other faves from their catalog and the usual Air visual experience. Moon Safari also gets the anniversary deluxe edition reissue treatment this month, featuring rarities, demos, videos, BBC sessions, and a Blu-ray version of the album containing a Dolby Atmos mix. We didn’t appreciate the simplicity of the late-’90s as they were happening, so this is a nice time machine back to better days. Tickets go on sale Friday (March 8) at 10 a.m. local time.
