"Air War" is a single by Crystal Castles. It was released on 17 December 2007 by Trouble Records as a 7" vinyl. An earlier version of the song was released in July 2006 as the B-Side to "Alice Practice" on Merok Records. The lyrics are from the 1922 James Joyce novel Ulysses in Chapter 11: Sirens. The cover art gathered public interest because of the odd picture of Ethan Kath and Alice Glass with ice cream cones as heads.[citation needed]
The song was used as the advertisement soundtrack of "Toshiba Product Technology: Time Sculpture".[1] The one-minute-long video was directed by Mitch Stratten.[2] The video shows an empty room that features people making repeated movements.[3] The advertisement was released to promote Toshiba's high-definition television upscaling technology in the United Kingdom.[4]
The song was featured on the UEFA Euro 2008 video game.[5]
