Le voyage dans la lune (English: A Trip to the Moon) is the sixth studio album by French electronic music duo Air. Announced by EMI on 7 December 2011, the album was released on 6 February 2012.
The album is inspired by the 1902 silent science fiction film A Trip to the Moon (Le voyage dans la lune) by Georges Méliès and is intended to be a soundtrack to the restored version of the film. A free three-minute film excerpt featuring the song "Sonic Armada" was made available for one week in early December 2011 in conjunction with a pre-order offer. The digital version of the album along with the newly restored and colourised sixteen-minute film was released as a strictly limited edition.
All songs composed by Jean-Benoît Dunckel and Nicolas Godin, except "Seven Stars", lyrics by Victoria Legrand; "Who Am I Now?", lyrics by Annie Hart, Erika Forster and Heather D'Angelo, music co-composed by Brian Reitzell.
