"La Femme D'Argent" comes from Air's Moon Safari, released in January 1998, and it's a warm, unhurried analog-keyboard daydream built almost entirely by its two authors. Jean-Benoît Dunckel and Nicolas Godin composed it, produced it and helped record it, and the credits show how much of the palette is theirs: Dunckel on analog synthesizer, Moog (solo included), organ, piano and Rhodes, Godin on bass guitar, Minimoog and tambourine, with both adding background vocals.
Eric Regert steps in for an organ solo, and Stéphane Briat, who recorded and mixed it with them, joins Caroline Legroux and the two principals on handclaps.
