    And, of the hundreds of artists I'm into, I'd have to put Air right at the top
    of the list. Which is a bit strange, 'cause I hate the song 'Sexy Boy' with a
    passion, and 'Kelly Watch the Stars' is not much better, but the rest of those
    first 2 albums is simply devine.

    I liked 'The Virgin Suicides' the first time I heard it. Very different to their
    non-soundtrack stuff, and not as easily likeable, but it certainly grows on you.
    Pink Floyd everywhere - sax ala 'Us and Them', slow piano which sounds like
    'Wish You Were Here', and another bit reminds me of 'Breathe'. Hey, but I love
    Pink Floyd, so Air sounding like Floyd couldn't be cooler.

    I believe the film is set in the 70s, hence the 'progressive rock' feel.

    Still don't like it as much as 'Moon Safari' and the other CD, though.
