"We did The Virgin Suicides really quickly at the time. We made the album in 1999 on a very low budget. It was during the first era of digital home studio equipment, and the sound is very metallic and cold. We’ve always regretted that about the way it sounds.
[The Virgin Suicides Redux] was about pushing the sound deeper in spirit and atmosphere. So we’ve remixed it to make it into something warmer, more organic.
It's a renaissance, it's a rebirth. It's like it was in artificial light before, now it's in natural light.
It’s the way it should have been." - AIR

To mark its 25th anniversary, THE VIRGIN SUICIDES will be reissued as a new edition entitled THE VIRGIN SUICIDES REDUX. This edition features an all-analog mix of the album produced by ‘Alf’ Briat and Air in April 2025. The 2CD/Blu-ray features THE VIRGIN SUICIDES REDUX (CD1),  a selection of demo & rarities (CD2), the original 2025 album in Dolby Atmos and the video clip of "Playground Love" (Blu-ray disc).

25 years ago, AIR released their second album, THE VIRGIN SUICIDES. With over two million copies sold worldwide since its release, the first soundtrack by the electronic duo of Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel is as famous today as Sofia Coppola's first feature film.

In 2001, THE VIRGIN SUICIDES won a Victoire de la Musique award and was nominated for a Brit Award in the Best Film Soundtrack category. In 2014, the album was ranked 11th among the best soundtracks of all time by NME, and in 2019 Pitchfork ranked it fourth in its list of the 50 best soundtracks of all time. In 2024, “Playground Love” was performed at the closing ceremony of the Paris Summer Olympics by AIR. The performance featured Thomas Mars, lead singer of the band Phoenix, a.k.a Gordon Tracks in the original album credits.
