SUDDENLY everyone had somewhere else to be – at least, that’s how Air remember the playback of their second album to Virgin’s UK executives. “After about 10 minutes, they were like, ‘Oh, we have a meeting we can’t postpone,’” says Nicolas Godin. “They were in panic. It was a big disaster for them… they were expecting ‘Moon Safari 2’.”
Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel weren’t displeased by the reception., resolutely earworm-free and impossible to pin down.
