Give me this EP, an A-frame house deep in the woods on a rainy day, a full cup of coffee and some THC and I will never come back.

I was 18 years old in the year 2000, and alone in New York. One freezing morning on my birthday in January I went into a record shop on Bleecker and bought this on CD because I liked the cover art. Later that afternoon I went up one of the Twin Towers to the observation deck and took a bunch of pictures on one of those disposable film cameras. I got home and tossed the camera under my bed. Seven years later I found the camera and developed it. The pictures were grainy and faded and showed views and people that tragically did not exist any more. What remains is my love for this beautiful, restorative, textural, funky, delicate, fun-loving little record. It's my favorite work by Air, truly a brilliant band.

Premieres Symptomes is absolutely one of the most soothing albums you'll ever hear in your entire life!

This is a very sublime collection of sensual music.
I had a boyfriend long ago and we listened to this when we, well - you know ...
I'm rediscovering this 25+ years later and remembering quite a bit of pleasure!

Such an underrated EP, the music and the production are insane ! These guys are legends. I'm so proud to be French

[theavalonianpriestess]

I can't count the amount of times I have listened to this album tripping and stoned! It is such an amazingly sublime experience, I highly recommend it! I love it 💜

[DeadsideBeatz]

it always made me feel like this would be a song playing if i were to walk into a bar or club in mars. absolutely a master piece

[RaptorFromWeegee]

Love these guys. Seeing the movie, 'The Virgin Suicides', led me to discovering Air. This led to Stereolab, Bertrand Burgalat and all these other exotic indie groups. Thank you Air.

My friend put me on to this. I'm 47 and sober for 4 years and caught some major positive vibes to this ep. Very original and enjoyable

[dreamjackson]

Shit! Moon Safari is one of favourite albums. How have I never listened to this 🤦🏻‍♂️ what a band

[EugeneAxe]

Perfect music to accompany a few cocktails. Very smooth.

[nitnat]

Used to listen to this all the time when I discovered Air in 1998. Still love it today!

[kevinesquivel]

I have three albums I can listen to from beginning to end that year after year never lose their magic. This is one of those albums.

Cinematic lounge at its finest. Thank u Virgin Megastore Chicago circa 1997!!!

[katalent]

I remember listening this album in my bunk bed in a youth hotel in the middle of the night in Melbourne in 2008. This sound is part of the best time in my life.

[hansbeispiel]

Perfect soundtrack for a nice summer´s day at the beach. The only bad thing about the album is it´s shortness.

[kennethiman]

listen to this on a plane, trust me it feels amazing

[rfwhiteaker]

I don't know if I have ever heard such inspirational music especially when including all of Air's works. But this album in particular has a 60's sound and speaks to me... or maybe because I was a child in the 60's this album makes me feel like a child again. I love this band. Barbarella... Flint....

[NickAnnies]

Been lucky enough to see AIR live twice, amazing...

[kennethiman]

the cover art reminds me of fall, had good times listening to this during the first few chilly nights, cruising down empty roads at the crack of dawn
