Idealism is the debut studio album by German electronic music duo Digitalism, released on 9 May 2007 by Virgin Records. In the United States, it was released on 19 June 2007 by 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 Cure's 1979 song "Fire in Cairo". The CD gives access to Opendisc where seven additional tracks can be downloaded.

"Idealistic" was used by Rockstar Games in the announcement trailer for their video game Midnight Club: Los Angeles. It is also 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, Just Dance 2 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.
