About the album.

The Virgin Suicides is Air’s second album, an atmospheric electronic soundtrack written for Sofia Coppola’s 1999 directorial debut and first released in 2000. Where Moon Safari was bright and sunlit, this is the French duo at their most nocturnal, a score of slow keyboard themes, drifting instrumentals and the single ‘Playground Love’.

The band have been open about their misgivings with the original. It was made quickly, on a small budget, during the first wave of digital home studio equipment, and they felt the result sounded metallic and cold.

The Redux edition, issued for the album’s 25th anniversary, answers that. Air and producer ‘Alf’ Briat built an entirely new analogue mix from the original multitrack tapes in April 2025, aiming for something deeper, warmer and more organic. The 13 tracks and running order are unchanged, from ‘Playground Love’ through to the near six minute closer ‘Suicide Underground’.

This pressing is a limited edition on 140g white vinyl. It works as a downtempo and ambient listen in its own right, no film required.

For the sunnier side of the same sound, start with Moon Safari, the 1998 debut that made Air’s name. Pocket Symphony, from 2007, carries on the hushed mood of this record, while Love 2, from 2009, finds the band in a looser, more playful frame.
