"On this record, we play every instrument we ever used in our career, and new ones too,” adds Dunckel. "Vibraphone, for example, or Mellotron, heavily filtered most of the time. We had bought some new instruments that we had never used in our records until then: a Moog Source, a PPG Wave 2.2, a Prophet 5, a Vermona DRM1, an Elektron Monomachine SFX60. We even bought a Vox guitar amplifier, for its warm sound and its tremolo, and a vintage Neumann microphone too, to record our voices.

"The analog keyboards are super-fat. The more you record them direct, the more you can feel the soul of the machine inside. The fatness of the keyboard. The direct box is just the classic green one that you see everywhere; it's generic and cheap. We mostly used the Korg MS20 and the Memotron. The string machine you hear is the Solina, which is the ARP String Ensemble in the U.S."
In a Facebook post dated February 8, 2010, Air is shown using a Wurlitzer 200A.
