  Air - Le Voyage Dans La Lune Between Daft Punk’s astronaut gear and Air’s analog synth-driven Moon Safari, French electronic musicians have historically shown great nostalgia towards the old space age. Continuing the trend is this soundtrack to a marvelously restored color version of George Melies’ pioneering 1902 film about space travel (recently re-canonized in Martin Scorcese’s Hugo). At 31 minutes, this set is double the film’s length, so alongside score instrumentals like the twitchy trip-hop jaunt “Sonic Armada” is non-film filler like “Seven Stars,” a piano-driven countdown with Beach House’s Victoria LeGrande. Like her collaborators, she sounds like she was weaned on Dark Side of the Moon.
