Ce soir-la.

Just got back from the AIR with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra show. Some highlights:
  • "La Femme D'Argent" as the opening song. A nearly full moon hanging over the Bowl, AIR playing almost all of the song alone, then the Orchestra suddenly coming to life in the end. Goose bumps.

  • "Remember" being played entirely by the Orchestra. All swirling strings and woodwinds, with the guys doing the vocoder vocals.

  • "Alone In Kyoto" and "Highschool Lover": predominantly synth film music rearranged for a full Orchestra. More goose bumps.

  • "Don't Be Light": that '50s-sci-fi-movie-music sample is tossed out and recreated live. With Jason Faulkner freaking out on fuzzed-out bass and Beck on spoken word duties.

    Pretty f-ing classic in my book.

    Time to sleep.
