BramVJun 8, 2009Having served some time as my top-ranked album, the tunes now feel somewhat outpaced and predictable. Nonetheless, this album can convey a great atmosphere and has, amongst others, helped setting the mood for several defining moments of my life. Strongly recommended blackout/background music.

StefanSOct 15, 2006Another awesome Air effort. Playground Love is one of the best songs I've heard. The other tracks are good too, but not totally great.

JohnJul 22, 2006One of the rare scores that functions just as beautifully as a stand-alone album as it does background music for its film, Air's Virgin Suicides soundtrack is a triumph. Warm, beautiful, and lush, this is one of the best soundtracks to be released in the last ten years. An absolute must-own, even if you're not an Air fan.

It's synthesized, as expected, but not in a new wave way. Organs breathe a heavy, gloomy sigh through 13 tracks... It's beautiful and I'm sold.

A haunting through line of notes that impact wonderfully in stirring the darker recesses of the mind.

Air's score darkens their brand of soft, introspective melodies with wavering pianos, funereal organs, and disembodied synth loops, and the resulting soundscapes often have a spacey, Pink Floyd-ish quality.
