Air - 10,000 Hz Legend

French music duo Air returned in 2001 with their 3rd album, 10,000 Hz Legend. On this album, tracks are longer and more electronic-oriented than on their previous records. These experimentations find the duo expanding their capacities and working with other artists including Beck and suGar Yoshinaga of Buffalo Daughter. The album artwork was produced by Ito Morabito and features Monument Valley on its cover image.

This French duo gained inclusion into the late-'90s electronica surge due chiefly to the labels their recordings appeared on, not the actual music they produced. Their sound, a variant of the classic disco sound coaxed into a relaxing Prozac vision of the late '70s, looked back to a variety of phenomena from the period -- synthesizer maestros Tomita, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Vangelis, new wave music of the non-spiky variety, and obscure Italian film soundtracks. 

This 2LP vinyl edition produced by Parlophone France in 2025.
