Idealism is the debut album from by German electronic duo Digitalism. It was released in Japan on 9 May 2007 by EMI Music Japan as Digitalism (デジタル主義 Dejitaru Shugi) and on 21 May 2007 by Kitsuné and Virgin Records. In the United States, it was released on 5 June 2007 on Astralwerks.
Five of the album's fifteen tracks—"Idealistic", "Zdarlight", "Digitalism in Cairo", "Jupiter Room" and "Pogo"—were previously released as EPs prior to the release. The song "Digitalism in Cairo" samples the The Cure's 1979 song "Fire in Cairo".
The CD comes with a special code to download seven additional tracks on the Internet. The bonus tracks are only available at a bitrate of 128kbps.
"Idealistic" was used by Rockstar Games in the announcement trailer for their upcoming video game Midnight Club: Los Angeles.[1] It is also currently used in a commercial for Airness on French TV.
"Pogo" is used in a few commercials, including a 2007 Pontiac commercial and a Virgin Mobile commercial, and was featured in Need for Speed: ProStreet and FIFA 08.
A sample of "Idealistic" is used by American radio call-in programme Loveline at the beginning of each segment prior to going on air.
"Zdarlight" is used in a BMW X1 commercial.
