Widely regarded as one of the definitive electronic albums of the pre-millennium era, 1998’s ‘Moon Safari’ was Air’s debut LP, and remains their biggest critical and commercial success. Marking 25 years since its initial release, the group confirmed plans to perform the record from start to finish live, for the very first time, late last year. Geneva, Paris, and Amsterdam were among the first dates, and more have been added since. 

Deluxe versions of the record also landed in March, including a double-CD and Blu-ray audio package and a new Spatial Dolby Atmos edition, featuring previously unreleased tracks. Mike Mills’ 1998 documentary, Eating Sleeping, Waiting & Playing, charting the outfit’s first world tour, is also included.
