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.

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