Released in 2000, The Virgin Suicides was director Sofia Coppola's first feature film, Kirsten Dunst's first major screen role, and Air's first foray into film scoring. Now, 15 years after its initial release, Parlophone will issue The Virgin Suicides: Deluxe Edition box set and a remastered 180g vinyl version of the original soundtrack. On the same day, Parlophone will also release Air's five early album discography on 180 Gram Vinyl with original artwork, including their first EP Premiers Symptômes (1997), Moon Safari (1998), 10,000 Hz Legend (2001), Talkie Walkie (2004) and Pocket Symphony (2007).

The Versailles duo - Jean-Benoît Dunckel and Nicolas Godin - started to record new music by watching VHS tapes of the film during the autumn of 1998. Eerie, synthetic and tempestuous, The Virgin Suicides soundtrack's first single "Playground Love" featured Gordon Tracks (an alias of Thomas Mars, the lead singer for the band Phoenix). The recording process was finished when drummer and soundtrack supervisor Brian Retzell called the duo from Los Angeles. "The microphones and the amps were packed and we needed a song for the ending credits! It happened on a Saturday afternoon. We called Thomas Mars from Phoenix. He wrote the lyrics, played some drums and sang on 'Playground Love,'" remembers Dunckel. The Virgin Suicides soon became a cult soundtrack and, most of all, one of the most celebrated albums in the electronic performers' fascinating discography.
