Mark and Stuart say bonjour to today's guest: French synth duo Air's Nicolas Godin, who talks about his new solo project. At its outset, AIR - an acronym for "Amour, Imagination, Rêve" (love, imagination, dream) - was a one person project.Nicolas - then an architecture student and amateur musician - was asked by a childhood friend to write a song for a compilation to be released by Source, a small French independent label. Following this small success, Godin asked his friend Jean-Benoît Dunckel, a classically trained pianist, to join him. 2015 marks the beginning of his solo career. His first album is called Contrepoint and is inspired by Bach melodies. Ooh la la! PLUS! What will feature on The Chain today? And who's going to be first to guess the link between all 3 records on Teatime Themetime? YOU DECIDE.
