Le voyage dans la lune ({{langx|en|A Trip to the Moon|italic=yes}}) is the sixth studio album by French electronic music duo Air, released on 6 February 2012 by Virgin Records.
Background and release
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. A limited edition of the album (70,000 copies worldwide) includes the CD and a DVD of the film.{{cite magazine |last=Mapes |first=Jillian |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/507331/air-over-the-moon-about-film-score-turned-full-album |title=Air Over 'The Moon' About Film Score Turned Full Album |magazine=Billboard |date=4 February 2012 |access-date=6 September 2017}} The digital version of the album, along with the newly restored and colourised 16-minute film, was released as a strictly limited edition.{{cite web |url=http://en.aircheology.com/ |title=Pre-order limited edition digital album |website=Aircheology.com |date=8 December 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120118152245/http://en.aircheology.com/ |archive-date=18 January 2012}}
