TVD Vinyl Giveaway: Air, The Virgin Suicides 15th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set Edition

In 2000, Sofia Coppola made her directorial feature-film debut with The Virgin Suicides. The movie, based closely on a novel of the same name, received critical acclaim and garnered a cult fan base.

It was also French duo Air’s first foray into film scoring, but the majority of the music that they had recorded was left on the editing room floor, and the official soundtrack for the film only features two songs by the band. Now, 15 years later, Air is releasing a deluxe edition of their original score to the film, including previously unreleased tracks and live performances.

The Virgin Suicides was the electronica duo’s first score for a film, but they went on to work with Coppola again in 2003 for Lost in Translation and three years later for Marie Antoinette, both of which were well-received soundtracks. In each of these films, Air managed to strengthen and reinforce the scenes they scored, while preserving their original tone and texture.

The Versailles natives, heavily influenced by ’70s synthesizer sounds and progressive rock, are known for their live performances where improvisation often takes center stage. They frequently extend and alter their well-known tracks, making recordings of these live shows unique and invaluable to fans. In their 20 years together, Air has collaborated with musical heavy-hitters including Beck and Thomas Mars.

We have a limited edition deluxe box set available to give away that includes a remastered version of the original soundtrack and an unreleased live album on solid red 180g vinyl and in CD and mp3 format, as well as two exclusive posters and a replica VIP pass.
