Godin and Dunckel were also featured in FILTER's Good Music Guide #29, where they discussed love, sex, and everything in-between with Brooklyn electronica outfit - and French wannabes - Au Revoir Simone .

Details are included below. British drummer/percussionist Alex Thomas will join Godin and Dunckel on the spring dates.

On Love 2, Godin, left, and Dunckel have gone back to their romantic roots. Just as the Beatles and Rolling Stones were the only two rock bands that mattered for a past generation, there are only two contemporary French bands that anyone outside of France takes seriously: Daft Punk and Air, the pop duo of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel.

When Air's Moon Safari came out in 1998, I was 15 years old and still in my teenage ska/punk phase.

Little did Air know that when it dropped its first proper record, Moon Safari - which sent the debonair "Sexy Boy" crashing onto the airwaves - that the group's deconstructive approach to composition would form the methods for American electro pop.

Combining two greats of the techno-electronic genre, Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel, both Frenchmen, AIR brings more of its signature smooth jazzy electro in its latest album, "Love 2." The extreme minimalist themes, including a song titled "Love" , force the listener to stray from finding the meaning in the lyrics, and move to the music ...

Boy loses girl, boy meets new girl, boy and girl make lovely, love and pain-filled music.

Few bands live up to their names as well as Air. The French electronic duo makes gravity-defying disco-pop that can be as foreboding as it is frothy .

French duo Air have confirmed that they will perform a live show in London on February 26.

'LOVE 2' is the hotly anticipated sixth studio album from French duo Nicholas Godin and JB Dunckel.

Rosanne had just graduated from high school in California and poppa Cash was dismayed when he discovered that Rosanne had not been exposed to the great country ...

Various artists, "The Twilight Saga: New Moon Soundtrack" Detail of the poster for the next "Twilight" movie, "New Moon." "The world is a vampire," Billy Corgan sang back in the mid-'90s, but the Great Pumpkin was ahead of his time: These days, it's impossible to sit in front of a television or movie screen without catching some glimpse of the ...

Variance Films Adventures in Power , a movie about air drumming, causes a rift in the air instrument community.

From the moment they first slid suavely onto to the scene, with a shimmer of slinky synthesizer and a strong whiff of Gallic savoir faire, the boys from the French electro duo Air -- Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benot Dunckel -- have been synonymous with an unruffled, moog-soundtracked sophistication.

When you think of ambient electronica, one of the biggest names in the world has to be Air .

The problem with chill-out music is its creators can often cross the line between calming down the listener and putting them to sleep.

Brought a bunch of new stuff to the studio this week for a show that magically expanded back to three hours to accommodate it all.

UNLIKE their French disco duo peers, Air have never pitched their esoteric soundtracks at clubland, so while the likes of Daft Punk and Justice continue to turn out the electroclash hits, Nicolas Godin and Jean-BenoA t Dunckel appear to have retreated into cult appreciation.

The first time Nicholas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel met, they talked about David Bowie.
