Premiers Symptômes is a collection of early Air singles released between 1995–1997. Premiers Symptômes translates to First Symptoms in English, and is most likely a reference to the Serge Gainsbourg song of the same name. Gainsbourg's album Histoire de Melody Nelson is an obvious influence on Air's work.[citation needed]

The last minute of "Les Professionnels" was later used for the basis of Air's 1998 single "All I Need".
