1997's Premiers Symptômes is the cult classic debut EP from French postmodern electro duo Air - acronym for "Amour, Imagination, Reve" (love, imagination, dream) - comprised of sound auteurs Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoit Dunckel. Featuring early instrumental singles released between 1995 and 1997, the dreamy downtempo 5-track affair stands up against anything the pair has released since and if ever there was an album designed for the turntable, it's this one! "Les Professionnels" was later used for the basis of Air's 1998 single "All I Need."
This French duo gained inclusion into the late-'90s electronica surge due chiefly to the labels their recordings appeared on, not the actual music they produced. Their sound, a variant of the classic disco sound coaxed into a relaxing Prozac vision of the late '70s, looked back to a variety of phenomena from the period — synthesizer maestros Tomita, Jean-Michel Jarre, and Vangelis, new wave music of the non-spiky variety, and obscure Italian film soundtracks. Parlophone will be releasing reissues on heavyweight vinyl, remastered and with all original artwork.
"Air are still tremendously effective producers, and have actually expanded their palate with a surprising array of pop instrumentation...the production is stellar...Fans and involved listeners are definitely rewarded with increased dividends after multiple listens." - John Bush, AllMusic
