[edit] Mike Mills

I think the Mike Mills Air refers to, is another Mike Mills, not the R.E.M member... does anyone have any info on this?

He's been the director of several videos for them and he drew several of their album covers too.

[edit] Album order incorrection.

From the inroduction: "critically acclaimed _first_ album Moon Safari was _followed_ by the release of Premiers Symptômes"

And from the discography: "# 1997 Premiers Symptômes - (5 tracks) - 12"/CD Source

1. 1998 Moon Safari - 12"/CD/MD Source - UK #6
2. 1999 Premiers Symptômes - (7 tracks) - 12"/CD Source - UK #12"

Clearly something isn't right here. A correction or an explanation would be appreciated.

The original Premiers Symptômes was released in 1997 in limited copies. After the success of Moon Safari, the album was re-released in 1999 with added bonus tracks.

[edit] Elle A Du Shell

What is this Air's Elle A Du Shell CD which is sold all over Internet but isn't listed here?

It seems to be a different Air, and as such the record is mistakenly lumped in on some websites with this Air. The Air who released "Elle A Du Shell" (alternatively listed as Air IV) is German DJ Pete Namlook, aka Peter Kuhlmann (see this page on Discogs for the artist: [1] and this page for the album: [2].

[edit] homosexualtiy

aren't these guys gay? not that there's anything wrong with that...

A common speculation given their song "Sexy Boy", but no, and there isn't. Hyacinth 08:48, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move to Air (French band)?

Before they were simply Air, they were known as Air (French band)[3]. Since this name has some history behind it, i think it would make a better title for the article. Also, another air is at Air (Japanese band), so this move would increase consistency, too. Does anyone else support this move? Foobaz·o< 01:54, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I've only seen "Air - French Band" on the cover of Moon Safari, and nowhere else. It's not mentioned on Les Premiers Symptômes. I can't tell you whether or not it's on the cover of the early singles, since I don't own any of them, but I've always thought the "French Band" was just a one off for moon Safari. So I would be against the move. Lijnema 22:15, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Videos and movies cleanup?

I don't really see the point of listing every single movie that's had music by Air in it. It doesn't really seem all that interesting. Is there anyone who objects to removing everything except music videos (and videos about Air (if there are any))? Those I really want to remove are 10 Things I Hate About You, Startup.com, and Lost in Translation. I'm not sure about The Architecture of Reassurance, because I don't know anything about it, I'll have to see what I can find about it, but unless it's about Air, or their music I'd like to remove it. I think The Virgin Suicides can be left in, because as far as I know, Air made all music for the movie. Thoughts? --Lijnema 11:22, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Personally, I think it's useful and informative to list the movies that have featured Air's music, even if there are quite a few of them. I do agree that it takes up a good chunk of space. Perhaps there's a way it could be streamlined a little.Ministry of Silly Walks 01:51, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kazakstan?

Why does it say in "Origin" that there from kazakstan when nothing about it is mentioned in the article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Minivergur (talk • contribs) 15:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC).
