22. Air - Pocket Symphony A bit boring, yes. Repetitive, also, Elevator music, definitively. But this French band never aspired to change the face of rock, just to create imaginary, futuristic soundtracks to imaginary, futuristic French films in which everybody is somehow both smoking and radiant. This sounds like a sequel to last year’s equally sonically rich Charlotte Gainsbourg album (then #18), but mostly without Jarvis Cocker’s redeemingly sharp lyrics (“The Duelist”, a Jarvis and Charlotte duet was a bonus track).
