Well yesterday saw the release of Air’s newest album, and I think a lot of Cinema Studies students might wanna check it out. “Le Voyage Dans La Lune” is, you guessed it, a musical tribute to Georges Méliès’ landmark film. It is essentially a brand new score for the movie. Lobster Films restored the colorized version of the film and approached Air about making a new soundtrack for it. The French duo swung into action, locking themselves in a studio, watching the film repeatedly, and taking less than 20 days to write and record the new score. “Le Voyage Dans la Lune is undoubtedly more organic than most of our past projects,” Godin said in a band press release. “We wanted it to sound handmade, knocked together, a bit like Méliès’ special effects. Everything is played live. Like Méliès’ film, our soundtrack is nourished by living art.” In addition to the album, a special limited-edition version (70,000 copies) will be released with a bonus DVD of the newly restored film. Jump onto Air’s official site , or head over to CD World and get it there! They have both the regular edition and special edition that includes the remastered movie!!!
