Virgin Suicides

Always liked Air. I liked playground love when played on. to the radio Motivated me to buy more Air’s music and got the whole soundtrack album. Not disappointed

Only recently have I become attracted to electronica, and even then I refer electronica that piques one's interests; something that blends into other genres. This soundtrack is mesmerising, and though I've never seen the film, having read what happens I can imagine it working perfectly in tandem. I was directed to this album through a different source, that being Q Magazine's review of Lana Del Rey's debut album. That review pointed out that this soundtrack's haunting yet disturbingly romantic themes can be heard as an influence on Del Rey's album, and I definitely agree. Air created a stunning album in the form of this soundtrack, and I highly recommend it.

The band's sound is very characteristic, being more introspective, a mysterious tone and quite instrumental. It's that kind of music to relax the mind, rest. There are many variations, giving the idea of a complete, concise, integrated work. The tone is calm. In this album there are some narratives as well. This album although a soundtrack, reminiscent of the the other album of the band "Moon Safari". Valid! Note 7.5.

I owned this album when it first came out and it somehow got lost between house moves, boyfriends etc. I recently bought it again and it is still a masterpiece. Absolutely sublime!

Such a beautiful sad film

This is another must buy by Air, but it won't please all, as there a couple of tracks that some might go ugh??

Top Tunes. Arrived as stipulated. Every home should have one.

It's been over two years since Air's last long-player "Moon Safari", the critically acclaimed coffee table album that made the French duo household names. The official follow up is still being worked on, and following last year's stop-gap re-release of "Premiers Symptomes", Air have been commissioned to write the soundtrack for the film "The Virgin Suicides". This isn't really a surprise as much of the band's work sounds like it belongs on a soundtrack anyway. The thirteen tracks here offer a dark feel to them, but don't expect any sprawling soundscapes as most of the tracks are very simple, forgettable instrumentals that rarely make it past the two-and-a-half minute mark, the whole album only just touches the 40-minute mark. Several spoken-word songs litter the album, the descriptive "The Word Hurricane" and the drawn-out finale "Suicide Underground", but these just seem a distraction to remind you the album is still playing. The exception to this is the single "Playground Love", sung by the mysteriously named Gordon Tracks, which has a more traditional Air feel, but its impact is lessened by a cheesy jazz backing. "TheVirgin Suicides" is not a bad soundtrack, but purely as a listening CD it simply fails to grab your attention. So if you only want something to play in the background, this does the trick nicely.

A pesar de ser de "segunda mano"; solamente un detalle menor en caja. El envío incluso un poco antes del estimado. Muchas gracias, llevaba años buscando éste disco y me provocó nostalgia pura tenerlo, escucharlo y revivir tiempos de adolescencia.

Difficile de ne pas écouter jusqu'au bout une fois que l'on a commencé ... C'est un vrai voyage ! J'ai acheté l'album après avoir vu le film et je pense que le film doit beaucoup à cette bande son inspirée et sensible.

Habe die CD gestern erst erhalten, gewöhnlich muss ich eine CD öfter hören, um sie zu mögen. Bei dieser ging dies unerwarted schnell! Wunderschön düstere, melancholische Töne, die mir bis ins Mark gehen, sodass sich alles in mir zusammenzieht, und ich beinahe weinen möchte... nostalgische Stücke, die es schaffen, mich zum Träumen zu bringen....psychedelische Klänge und Klangfolgen, die mich dazu inspirieren, künstlerisch wieder tätig werden zu wollen...

It is perfect and so pretty! Came with no cracks in the case and the singing version of playground love. Definitely buy if you love Air and the Virgin Suicides.

明るい音と暗い音、不安定な音、計算されつくした世界観、やはりエールの魅力は幸福感、表面上の気持ちの良い空間が、いかに絶望に満ち溢れ、深い闇の中に落ちていく、最高の音楽だ。このアルバムではまだわかりやすい（絶望の世界が）。ヤバいのはこれ以降！明るい狂気！それが裏（いや表）のテーマだろう。エールにはまった人ならわかると思う。いや気づかづにわかっている、明るい音、不安定な音、暗い音、、いろいろとイメージさせる音、まだこんな素晴らしい音楽があった。再び電子音楽に興味をもった。音楽は価値観で音が変わる。そしてそれを表現するグループは少ない、この音世界、確信犯だ。このジャケットがすべてを表している。抽象的だ。人によってイメージが変わる。あまりこういう言葉を使いたくないが、天才だと思う。少なくともまねできないよ。いやホントすごい、ミュージシャンとして尊敬します。いやマジで。しかし、これを最初に聞いて(you tube)などでこれを聞いて(まあ、このアルバムではわかりづらいが）まあ、！これオシャレ！とか、ランチのbgmにいい！とかいったら、それが本当の狂気だろう。少なくとも音楽の奇跡だ。このアルバムが一番好きだ。けど個人的に、mike millｓ(曲）が、一番ひどい、だんだん風景が不安定に、、皆さん音楽を好きになろう！もうネットでまともな発言をすることはないだろうが、今はネットでこういうヤバいのが聴ける。音楽の迷宮に入れる。いい社会だ。しかし音楽は簡単にできない。そして単純じゃない。エールが教えてくれた、いや思いだした。有難うエール、しかしこのジャケット、、、、目が、、、何かを感じてほしいんだな。絶望、希望？優しい、残酷な、そして現実の音だ。
