Their debut EP, ''Premiers Symptômes'' (translates to "First Symptoms" in English) showed off their flair for ambient music with touches of dance-pop. Notably, it was partially made up of early versions of music that would eventually be part of their breakthrough album, ''Moon Safari,'' released in 1998. ''Moon Safari'' was an immaculately produced collection of ambient pop punctuated by old synthesizers, some surprisingly radio-ready singles and some collaborations with guest vocalist Beth Hirsch. Considered one of the best electronic releases of the [[The Nineties|1990s]], this made Air's career.

''Moon Safari,'' [[Tough Act to Follow|still their most famous record]], was re-released in 2008 with a book, a DVD and a second disc of rarities, live performances and remixes.
