Evidently Air is re-releasing Moon Safari in celebration of the album's 10 yr anniversary. Upon perusal of the reissue's bundle of goodies, I was surprised to see a remix of "Kelly Watch the Stars" by The Moog Cookbook included in the bonus material.
I basically knew The Moog Cookbook (Brian Kehew & Roger Joseph Manning Jr) for their 90s revival of the 'moog tributes' that flourished during the 70s after Walter/Wendy Carlos' Switched on Bach hit platinum. Many of the selections the moog-synth duo chose were heavily covered & parodied pop tunes (ie, "Black-Hole Sun") and therefore the few songs that I heard from their debut album didn't hold a lot of weight.
Perhaps since "Kelly ..." is a remix rather than a cover, I'm a bit more engaged (not to say the Moog Cookbook albums aren't worth listening to//give them a try) It is also worth noting that both Kehew & Manning Jr. have toured with Air on keyboard & each have independently supported/collaborated with a diverse range of musicians including Beck, The Who, Hole...
anyway, enjoy the funk
