Love or hate, at least it's less than 3 minutes...
Love it and would like more than 3 minutes.
Every time this comes on I have a moment of expecting it to unfold as Vangelis's Love Theme from the original Bladerunner soundtrack. Every. Single. Time. They're not even that similar... but my brain doesn't seem to realize that.
It is the timbre of the synths... the tonality hidden in the notes. ;-)
Interesting! I will have to give it a few more "listens" to decide. Thanx RP!
OK!, I like it!! Weird, but good!!
So it was a honeymoon safari? Nice!
I've always wondered about the meaning of this song. No lyrics but a very evocative title.
Assuming that it regards the mithology entailed in Homer's "Odisseys", what could we speculate about it?
Is it the song a description of the trip that Penelope has taken after such a long waiting for his husband in Ithaca?
Or is Penelope's entire waiting process for Ulysses return itself just a long, immaginative journey that she has been through for 20 years?
I LOVE AIR.
Try reading Margaret Atwood's Penelopiad for one possible answer...

All general statements are false.
That's generally true
*snicker*
Snickers bcuz, familiar with bathtub farting!! Lol
When dolphins fart, does it smell? Just another of life's wee imponderables :o)
OMG!!! Y'all are Killin me here, with all this convo about farting dolphins!!! Bet Bill & Rebecca got some laughs from them too!!
When dolphins fart, does it smell? Just another of life's wee imponderables :o)
Can anyone actually confirm that dolphins actually DO even fart?!!!? LMAO @ this whole anomaly!!!
your brain must be tuned into the instrumentation...
There were people who played keyboards - even synthesizers - before Richard Wright.

This old vs. new crap is just that: crap. Doesn't matter if you're talking about people or music.

Start writing English and don't be such a rude metalfitter. At least Andy put some thought into his writing, which is an order of magnitude preferable to folk who spend all of 5 seconds writing SFAs (stupid feckin' acronyms). It's posts like his that enliven these fora and make readers think.
Erudite, observant and quite witty Mr. AndyJ

It's probably fair to say that most music, made anywhere in the world, has moved beyond that point a long time ago.
All general statements are false.
sounds great loud
And most people under 25 are completely fixed in the present and have no memory of the past. That's even more tragic.
I agree with both of you, but your example is the case a little less than the other way around. Younger people listen/accept much more past music than older people do present music (maybe not by much, but it's pretty clear to me that is generally the case). Maybe it's the old dog new tricks thing, but younger people are generally more open to all types of music.... maybe it's a generational thing too because younger people usually accept all type of people and lifestyles moreso also. The most close-minded people you will ever meet are today's grandparents. It's not necessarily a bad thing or something to try and change, but it's just the way it is.
You are indeed a fool, DELTA_9_FOOLS. Judging people based on their age is just as stupid as judging them based on any other attribute, whether it's gender, race, whatever.
By the way, all the wonderful music we listen to here on Radio Paradise is selected by Bill Goldsmith — and I suspect he's just a little bit over 25.
p.s. I'm 53 and I like the track.
sounds more like an observation than a judgement to me. And delta 9 said 'most" not all.
pointless is sometimes good. wait, are you trying to make a point?
Kind of yeah . . .
i only wish it were longer as it is nice to work to
and i am a sucker for the 70's synth sounds
that's what she said
childish ? yes indeed !
that's what she said
Then you have overcome a hurdle that many are not able to. Most people after age 25 are totally fixed in the past for music. Though since the release date for this is about ten years ago now you may have enjoyed it prior to that age. Regardless, I find a lot of negative comments on here by people who just like classic rock and other music of the period, and as soon as they hear something experimental or electronic they immediately attack it.
Like rtrudeau below, I'm 52 plus I keep RP as one of my home tabs.
DELTA_9_FOOLS - I don't detect an ageism bias in the comment board. Folk my age come here to get away from the all-oldies format - and you'll find old codgers like rtrudeau and me all over the place - lovin' the new blood and coming away will new favorites.
Nonetheless, I hope you can appreciate the beauty of tunes crafted in the 60s, 70s and 80s that Bill programs here. My synapses fire chaotically when some of them come on. Just like the soupcon of jazz or classical he drops in to keep everyone gingerly off-balance in a delightful way.

Yes, one would presume by the negative commentary, that this song is unpopular here, but its rating says otherwise, and I would estimate that most of the listeners here are over 25. However, I've found that here, as just about everywhere else, people who have something negative to say will tend to do so at a higher rate than people with something positive to say. Well, that's been my observation; I've yet to conduct clinical trials.
I'm 40, hadn't heard of Air before oh about 2 years ago (here on RP) - and LIKE them - does that make me odd ?
Still a great, great, track! I love it.

Reminds me Blade Runner soundtrack.
Except the Blade Runner soundtrack wasn't painfully annoying.
Penelope waits twenty years for the final
return of her husband Odysseus

I'm over 30 and I like it. Obviously, I'm ... um... over 30 and I like it.
