I recently came across 5:55, the new Charlotte Gainsbourg album and found that Dunckel and Godin composed the music for pretty much the entire thing. Some songs are better than others, but it's definitely sweet and dreamy... worth a listen. Charlotte, Jarvis Cocker (Pulp) and Neil Hannon (The Divine Comedy) penned the bulk of the lyrics, David Campbell (Beck's father) wrote the string arrangements, and Nigel Godrich produced it.

Gainsbourg is an actress (21 Grams, The Science of Sleep) and daughter of French pop icon Serge Gainsbourg. Wanna hear what inspired Air as young boys? Check out Le Histoire de Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg. Funny how things always come full circle.

By the way, has anyone heard Pocket Symphony yet?
