Audio is the debut album by Blue Man Group and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. It was released in 1999 by Virgin Records.
This album was released in two versions: The DVD had 5.1-channel versions of the music in both DVD-Video (using Dolby Digital) and DVD-Audio formats (one on each side) and a CD that had a 2-channel stereo mix of each track.
The behind the scenes of the Audio DVD is viewable on a promotional 2000 VHS known as Audio Video.
Heather Phares of Allmusic.com rated Audio three out of five stars. She explained that it “reflects over a decade’s worth of musical and theatrical innovation.” Although she stated that “the spectacle of the group playing its sculptural, surreal-looking instruments is absent from the album,” she concluded her review by calling it “an album that proves the Blue Man Group is as innovative in the studio as it is onstage.”
