Le voyage dans la lune (album)
Le voyage dans la lune is the sixth studio album by French electronic music duo Air, released on 6 February 2012 by Virgin Records.
Background and release
The album is inspired by the 1902 silent science fiction film A Trip to the Moon by Georges Méliès and is intended to be a soundtrack to the restored version of the film. A free three-minute film excerpt featuring the song "Sonic Armada" was made available for one week in early December 2011 in conjunction with a pre-order offer. A limited edition of the album includes the CD and a DVD of the film. The digital version of the album, along with the newly restored and colourised 16-minute film, was released as a strictly limited edition.Personnel
